Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about booking, private transportation, dress codes, and pricing.
What is included in the base guide fee of US$132?
The US$132 rate covers 8 consecutive hours of dedicated, private service from an English-speaking licensed Thai tour guide. It covers itinerary planning, route advice, cultural explanations, and on-site translation. Entrance fees, meals, and transport costs for you and the guide are paid on the day as you go.
Do we need a private van or can we use public transit?
For tours within central Bangkok (Grand Palace, Wat Pho, Chinatown, canal boats), using the BTS Skytrain, MRT subway, and river ferries is fast, fun, and avoids Bangkok traffic. For day trips outside Bangkok (Ayutthaya, Kanchanaburi, Floating Market, Pattaya), we recommend booking our private VIP air-conditioned van with driver (+US$85/day) for maximum comfort.
What is the dress code for Thai temples?
Temples like the Grand Palace and Wat Phra Kaew require shoulders and knees to be covered for both men and women. Loose, lightweight cotton or linen trousers/long skirts and shirts with sleeves are ideal. Shoes should be easy to slip off when entering sacred temple halls.
Can we customize the stops during the day?
Absolutely! That is the core advantage of Your Thai Guide. You can change your mind on the fly, stay longer at a market, take a coffee break in a quiet cafe, or skip a crowded sight. Your guide will adapt to your energy level and interests.
How does payment and booking confirmation work?
After submitting your trip details, our booking coordinator will confirm your guide’s availability via email or WhatsApp within a few hours. We send a secure credit card payment link for the guide deposit, and the balance is settled transparently with no surprise fees.
Are children and senior travelers accommodated comfortably?
Yes! We specialize in multi-generational family tours. We plan plenty of shade, air-conditioned breaks, avoid steep stairs whenever necessary, and arrange private transportation to ensure comfortable door-to-door transit for grandparents and kids alike.
