Fern was a brilliant guide - very knowledgable about the places we went to. The artist village was amazing!
ขอบคุณมากค่า Thank you so much for the lovely review! 🥹❤️ We’re really happy you had such a great time exploring with Fern! We’ll definitely pass your kind words on to her, she’ll be so happy to hear that you enjoyed her stories and knowledge about the places we visited. 🙏😊 And yes, the Artist Village is such a special little corner of Bangkok! 🎨❤️ We love bringing people there because it feels like a completely different side of the city, slower, creative, and full of local charm. We hope the experience felt less like a tour and more like spending time with a local friend showing you one of their favourite places. Thank you for exploring our Bangkok with us. Hope to see you again someday! 🥰✨ Warm regards, Hidden Bangkok

Fern our friendly tour guide was very knowledgeable about Thai history and made the entire experience interesting for us and the kids. We stopped off at the Artist Village to look around the local shops and had some delicious Thai snacks. Would highly recommend as relaxing in a canal boat and seeing the impressive Giant Buddha and Little Buddha without having to queue.
