How Private Female Tour Guides Work in Bangkok

Many travelers in Bangkok look for a private female tour guide to explore the city in a flexible and comfortable way.

This is not a fixed-route program and not a standard group tour.

It is a personalized service built around your schedule, your interests, and an itinerary prepared in advance by the Jetset team.

This guide explains how private female tour guide services really work in Bangkok, from the first request to the end of the tour.

What a private female tour guide is in Bangkok

A private female tour guide is a personal guide who stays with you during your visit and helps with planning, navigation, and adjustments during the day.

This is a flexible service. There is no fixed route and no strict program. The day is built around your interests and your schedule.

This service works for solo travelers, couples, families, and small private groups.

Step 1. Collecting your preferences

When a customer requests a private female tour guide, the first step is to understand what they want to visit.

Some clients already have a clear list of places.
Others only give general ideas, and we build a full program for them based on our experience and past requests.

We usually ask about:

  • Temples and historical sites
  • Museums
  • Markets and shopping areas
  • Places of interest
  • Bars and nightlife
  • Shows and entertainment
  • Special activities

This defines the structure of the day.

Step 2. Choosing the duration

After we understand what you want to do, we confirm the tour duration.

Most bookings are:

  • 4 hours
  • 8 hours

If you need longer than 8 hours, we can plan it in advance and quote the right price before the day starts.

Anything not planned and not confirmed in advance is outside Jetset responsibility.

Step 3. Building the draft itinerary

Once the duration is confirmed, the Jetset team prepares a draft itinerary.

The goal is not to visit as many places as possible.
The goal is to create a realistic route that fits your time and pace.

We focus on:

  • Logical sequencing of locations
  • Minimizing unnecessary travel
  • Allowing flexibility during the day

The draft plan is sent to the customer for approval.
We adjust it until the route is clear, practical, and comfortable.

Step 4. Group size and transportation planning

This service can be arranged for individuals, couples, families, and small private groups.

Group size rules:

  • Up to 6 people: 1 guide is usually enough
  • More than 6 people: we arrange 2 guides or more

Next, we confirm transportation.

  • If the client wants a vehicle and driver, we arrange it through our transport team.
  • If not, the guide meets the client at the agreed meeting point.

Step 5. Guide selection and confirmation

We work with a small team of selected guides.

Based on:

  • Availability
  • Schedule compatibility
  • English level

We send a short list of guide profiles and photos.

The customer chooses the guide they prefer.

After the choice:

  • We lock the guide for the date
  • We take a deposit
  • We send the final itinerary to the selected guide

This is not an on-demand service.
Every booking requires planning and preparation.

Booking, deposit, and payment rules

For most bookings:

  • 4 hours: 1,000 THB is kept in case of cancellation
  • 8 hours: 2,000 THB is kept in case of cancellation

  • 30% deposit, or
  • Full payment in advance

Cash payment on the day is rare and accepted only for trusted repeat clients.

Accepted payment methods:

  • Cash
  • Bank transfer
  • Crypto payment
  • Credit card only if booked at least 10 days in advance, with 5% fee

Advance booking and short notice requests

For full itinerary planning, we require:

  • At least 48 hours in advance

If the customer already has a clear plan:

  • Minimum 12 hours notice is possible

Short notice bookings can be arranged, but:

  • A 1,000 THB surcharge applies

If the customer wants only a guide without planning:

  • We skip the itinerary process

Meals, tickets, and extra bookings

During the tour, the client pays for:

  • Guide’s meals
  • Entrance tickets
  • Activities

Jetset prepares the itinerary, but does not book every activity by default.

If the client requests bookings such as:

  • Muay Thai matches
  • Canal tours
  • Shows
  • Special attractions

We arrange them in advance at additional cost.

Any additional activity can be arranged on request and quoted separately.

Overtime, buffer time, and end of tour

We include a 1-hour buffer in both half-day and full-day tours.

We do not leave the client suddenly when time is finished.

The guide usually:

  • Completes the last activity
  • Makes sure the client is back at the hotel
  • Then ends the service

Anything after working hours is outside Jetset responsibility.

How the tour works on the day

On the day of the tour:

  • The guide meets the customer at the agreed location
  • She follows the approved itinerary
  • She adapts the plan if the customer changes their mind

The itinerary can be completely changed if time allows.

Avoiding tourist traps and common scams

One important advantage of booking through Jetset is local knowledge.

Our guides are experienced in:

  • Avoiding overpriced tourist areas
  • Identifying common scams
  • Skipping low-quality attractions
  • Choosing reliable venues and services

This helps:

  • Save time
  • Avoid unnecessary spending
  • Reduce risk during the visit

The guide actively advises the client during the day to avoid places that are known for poor value or dishonest practices.

Dress code and appearance

There is no fixed dress code.

The guide adapts her clothing to the places visited.

The general rule is:

  • Casual
  • Appropriate
  • Never provocative

Multi-day bookings and travel outside Bangkok

Multi-day bookings are possible.

The guide can travel with the customer to:

  • Pattaya
