Daytime company by the hour, in public places. Every meetup is a request; they answer it themselves.

I'm Plai, 29, a history graduate who works at an old-town museum on weekdays and walks with people on days off. My favourite route runs from the flower market past Wat Pho and ends at a coffee shop behind Tha Tien, and on the way I tell you what isn't on the signs: why this temple faces the way it does, who built the shophouses. It's a walk, not a lecture, so ask anything; if I don't know, I'll say so. Museums and galleries are good too, taken slowly. Honest note: I'm a walking companion, not a licensed guide. Where a site requires an official guide, we hire one on the spot.

Plai's own rules
- Temples, museums and the streets between them. We start early because the afternoon is too hot to walk.
- Temple dress: shoulders and knees covered. I'll remind you once.
- Where a site requires a licensed guide, I don't guide. I can still come along as a friend while a guide does the guiding.
- No politics inside a temple. Outside is fine.
Plai's assistant will say up front if your plan runs into one of these.
