Experience Car tours in the best of
Phuket with Withlocals

"Pathu was amazing. She gave us an overall great overview of Phuket. We got some history of Thailand during our drive. Went to some Buddhist temples, and she was really great with the history and stories about each temple. She was patient as we meandered around and took photos. She took us to a great restaurant for lunch. And she took us to try durian ... upon our request ... (maybe not our best decision!!) Then we went around old Phuket, and again, she really showed us lots of great locations. "

"Vatin or VJ was a great guide. We were able to personalize our tour with just the stops we wanted to go to. He was our driver and tour guide, providing us with interesting facts and answering our questions. VJ was super friendly and helpful. We would definitely recommend him as a guide."

"What a pleasure it was to meet Pathu! It was fun to explore Phuket with someone so energetic and knowledgeable. We must return!"

"Our experience in Phuket was truly elevated by the best tour guide. From the very beginning, they were incredibly knowledgeable—not just sharing surface-level facts, but offering deep, meaningful insights into Phuket’s history, culture, and traditions that made every stop come alive. What stood out most was the flexibility. They really allowed us to craft our own trip, tailoring the itinerary to what we were most interested in rather than following a rigid schedule. That made the experience feel personal and intentional, not rushed or generic. Beyond the guided portions, they also took the time to recommend places we could explore on our own—hidden gems, local spots, and must-see locations that we may have otherwise missed. That extra effort made a big difference in how much we were able to enjoy Phuket even outside of the tour. The comfort level was also top-notch. The tour van was clean, spacious, and air-conditioned—such a relief in the Phuket heat—and having cold refreshments available made the journey even more enjoyable. Overall, it was a seamless, thoughtful, and enriching experience. If you’re looking for a guide who is knowledgeable, accommodating, and genuinely invested in making your trip special, this is absolutely the best person to choose."

"We booked two tours with Ruetai (Pai), and both exceeded our expectations. The first was a Phuket highlights tour, including the Big Buddha, a temple, Phuket Old Town, a scenic viewpoint, and a beach. The second was a relaxing day of snorkeling and beach time on Coral Island. Everything was well organized and perfectly suited for our group of families with children and friends. Pai is extremely knowledgeable, engaging, and made the whole experience special and unforgettable.Definitely recommend!"

"We’ve used With Locals for all of our travels over the last 4 years. They have all been excellent experiences, but I have to rate our day with Pathu as the best we’ve ever had. Her historical knowledge of the country and the area were excellent. And she took us to the most memorable spots across the island in a mere six hours. Any English speaking tourist should definitely utilize her services. "

"Our tour with Vatin in Phuket was truly exceptional and an absolute highlight of our trip. From the moment we met him, VJ was kind, enthusiastic, and incredibly knowledgeable about Phuket’s history, culture, and most beautiful spots. His passion for what he does is clear, and his positive energy made the entire day feel joyful and easy. What made this experience especially meaningful was how thoughtfully VJ accommodated my recent knee injury. With very limited ability to walk, I was worried about missing out, but VJ went above and beyond by driving us to all of the best viewpoints and locations and carefully planning the day so I could see everything with minimal walking. I never once felt rushed or like an inconvenience. Instead, I felt completely cared for and supported. VJ’s warmth, patience, and genuine kindness truly set him apart. He made sure we were comfortable, engaged, and enjoying every moment while sharing his deep knowledge with such enthusiasm and heart. If you are visiting Phuket, a tour with VJ is an absolute must. This was not just a tour, but a thoughtful, memorable, and beautifully curated experience we will always remember."

"We liked Pai the minute we met her, very warm and welcoming. We had no idea our day with Pai was going to be so enjoyable. She is very knowledgeable and customized our itinerary to leave out old town Phuket.(we had already seen what we wanted to there) She represents Thailand so well, shares insight to the culture and Buddhism “way of life” (not just a religion) Sweet Pai can take a great photo too! There was not a single bad picture from the day and we will greatly enjoy the memories when we look at these pictures in the years to come."

"Jo was an amazing guide! She was so friendly, funny, and full of great stories about Phuket and Old Town. We loved how relaxed and enjoyable the day felt — she really made the experience special. Her driver was also fantastic, super helpful, and even stayed late to take us back after dinner, which we really appreciated. Highly recommend booking a tour with Jo if you want a fun, personal, and memorable experience in Phuket!"

"We had an incredible experience with our tour guide. She was extremely knowledgeable and clearly very experienced, which made every part of the tour engaging and insightful. Her outgoing personality brought great energy to the group, and she shared information in a way that was both interesting and easy to understand. Most importantly, she was an absolute pleasure to be around — warm, friendly, and always happy to help. We truly enjoyed every moment and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a memorable and informative tour! Thank you again Ruetai!❤️"
