Hi, my name is Lucas from Montréal, I am a tour guide since 2010, worked in more than 20 countries. Based in Bangkok - or Manila, Phnom Penh, Kathmandu - I follow the current of the guiding ! I am doing those walking tour now, trying to share my knowledge with first time visitors. As I am doing this without salary, tip is well appreciated, Guru guidelines suggest min 10€ or 350 Bath.
I can answer all questions and show you some hidden / out of the beaten path places.
If you want to see and do tourist stuff like floating market, my walks are not for you. If your goal is to see the highlights everywhere you go, MY WALKS ARE NOT FOR YOU. I like to show you the normal life that is going on here in Bangkok, while I will help you with local transportation and others places to visit. With me you won't see any highlights or spectacular sights, you won’t learn the whole history (for this take a local guide), with me you are walking to see things of the daily life, to feel the vibe as the local way. If you just want to know about tourist stuff, its easy by your own. With me its more about to learn/walk as the Bangkonian style.
Ha sido un gusto hacer el recorrido con Luc. Un tío majísino, conocedor y accesible.
We know it was a “non-traditional market tour”, but we would have liked more information and interaction in the market (stopping to talk about different stalls, foods, etc). We kind of just walked through. It wasn’t that busy when we went, so I don’t think it would have bothered anyone, especially since there were only 3 of us plus the guide. The market section also only comprised maybe 45 min of the 2 hours, the rest was walking to/from and stopping at a mall. Not as market-focused as we were hoping for. We’re seasoned travelers and are down for non-typical, non-touristy tours (which we like!), but this one was honestly a bit boring and lacking in information.
Die Tour mit Luc war sehr interessant, er weiss viel über den Alltag in Bangkok, konnte uns tolle Spots zeigen und uns super Tipps geben. Wir können die Tour sehr empfehlen!
Informativo y agradable, gracias por el paseo!!
The tour was a fun experience for our first day in Bangkok. We wanted something different, and that’s exactly what we got. All the other tours offered walks from temple to temple within a small area. Together with Luc, we got to know public transportation, life in Bangkok, and where to eat good food. Luc is a tour guide, and it’s clear that he really knows his job. He leads only small groups, which makes the whole experience a bit more personal than other tours. I recommend it to anyone who wants something a little different, and especially for a first day in Bangkok, as you get a lot of useful information on how to make the most of this huge and chaotic city as a tourist!
