Where the Sidewalk Ends offers an incredible Sak Yant experience.
From the moment I booked my Sak Yant Bangkok the staff at WSE made me feel very comfortable and answered any questions I had. The morning of pick up from my hotel was easy and the guide very helpful. The entire experience was incredible and one of the most spiritual days of my life. Ajarn To was so pleasant and did amazing work that I could not be happier with. I already have plans to return to Thailand in January '26 and use WSE Chiang Mai for more Sak Yant.

Thank you so much for your kind words, Chris. We are honored you chose us for your Sak Yant in Bangkok and glad to hear the day felt so comfortable and spiritual for you. It means a lot to know that Ajarn To’s blessing and Khun Nong’s guidance helped make the experience so memorable. We are grateful for your trust and look forward to welcoming you again in Thailand in 2026, or beyond.

We had amazing experience with our tour guide Laura and the family in the valley. Laura was so talkative and informed, and always had something interesting to offer. The family was more than generous. It was so wonderful to see you in generational craft. I lived in a in Mexico for a year so I was worried about non-authentic tour experiences. This fall, extremely authentic and intimate, and felt like we were contributing positively by going on this tour to the families life. We also learned a lot and my mom who is a weaver Was overjoyed by the experience

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review, Sarah. We are honored that you and your mom joined us for this weaving experience in the valley. It is wonderful to hear how much Laura’s knowledge and warmth added to the day, and that the generosity of the host family and their craft made such an impression. We are grateful you chose us for an experience that felt authentic and positive, and we would be delighted to welcome you back anytime in Oaxaca, or beyond.
The idea was great but poor implementation
Although the idea was great, the implementation of it was poor. We booked two different experiences with them and both were disappointing, especially for the cost, as it was not cheap. (There were two of us)
The mask experience did not have much instruction or history provided. We started late because two people showed up very late and we still had to walk to the studio. We would’ve loved some history and perhaps some examples for inspiration. Instead it was a mad dash for the blank masks and there weren’t enough options. In the end, they did offer some help but it would’ve been nice to see different masks that the artists had made so we could get some ideas.
The face painting and the photo shoot sounded like an amazing idea. The face painting went well and the artists were local. The photographer was just okay (I am a photographer myself so direction is crucial to get amazing photographs). It then took forever to receive the photos, long after our experience especially for Day of the Dead itself. And to be honest, the editing was very simple and could’ve been done much quicker.
Communication was mediocre at best, and timing was not very good. Would I book them again or recommend them? I’m honestly not sure. Nothing to rave about, but yet the experience wasn’t exactly terrible. Perhaps o wouldn’t have had as high of expectations if it weren’t for the prices I were charged.

Thank you for sharing your feedback, Annie. We are glad to hear you enjoyed aspects of the experiences, but we are sorry to know that other parts did not fully meet your expectations. With the photo delivery, we do advise a 3–4 week timeline in advance and always aim to stay within that, though we understand how important it is for guests to receive them sooner around Day of the Dead. Your comments on instruction, communication, and timing are appreciated, and we will use them to continue refining our services. We are grateful you joined us in Oaxaca and hope to welcome you again in the future for another special experience.

Khun Khai, your licensed guide, translator and driver, will be so happy to know his support helped make the experience possible. We are grateful you chose us and would be delighted to welcome you both back anytime in Thailand, or beyond.
Weaving excursion
We had a wonderful experience spending the day with a family of weavers. Our guide, Laura, was excellent! She not only showed us a bit of the town, but added so much to day due to her warm relationship with the family who shared their home and weaving studio with us. This day trip was a highlight of our week in Oaxaca.

We’d love to welcome you back for more incredible cultural experiences in the future! 🌿🧶✨

overall bad experience
make up review
i must say it’s a disappointing experience. On the email it says there would be complimentary drink - that never happened. and during the experience my make up was done by an artist instead of a make up artist. the make up that came out was nothing like the chosen reference photo. when it comes to photography, it was done in a really rush way with 2 other guests and literally was done in around only 10 minutes, which we didn’t even get to walk more than 2 blocks.
and when the photos were ready, they could not remember who’s who, asking us to send a selfie for them to identify us in the group! thats really unprofessional, and the photos came out really bad too… overall bad experience and not worth the money

Thank you for your feedback Esther; we’re truly sorry to hear you felt disappointed with your experience.
We’re very surprised by your review, as we took great care to deliver what was promised and ensure everything ran as smoothly as possible, as well as from our friendly and appreciative communications with you on WhatsApp.
Complimentary drinks, including fresh coffee and tea, were available at the studio, and many guests enjoyed them — we’re sorry if this wasn’t communicated clearly. Had you only asked while there, the drink station was right behind the seat where you had your make-up done.
The local makeup artist is a seasoned professional, internationally recognized for her art, and Day of the Dead makeup has been something she's been doing for years. We're sorry if her interpretations of the example weren't in line with your vision.
The photo shoot was intentionally held in Jalatlaco, steps from where the studio is located to avoid unnecessarily long shoots, and due to its beautiful cobblestone streets, murals, and decorations to enhance the images. We’ve double-checked your photos and feel they beautifully captured you surrounded with Oaxaca's charm, with photos of you laughing and smiling, with creative reflections in the water and in windows, and traditional elements like marigolds and flag banners — similar to the examples on the tour page. Many of the guests have shared their photos online, though we understand tastes can differ, and are sorry it was not what you had in mind.
Regarding the request for a selfie, this was only needed for a few of the guests who arrived out of order, ensuring no one’s photos were mixed up. Despite this, we knew who you were, and your photos were correctly placed in your folder, which was made private as you requested. We’re sorry if you felt this was unprofessional, as we were trying to ensure professionalism through doing that.
While we regret that the experience wasn’t to your standard, we’ll take your comments to heart as we continue improving year over year. Thank you again for your input. We hope the rest of your time in Oaxaca was memorable, and should you ever revisit, we'd happily help with another photoshoot for you, perhaps with some examples of what you would like done and how they differ from what we show online.

Nice Experience
Nice Experience
My guide was very empathetic and professional, with a real knowledge and familiarity with Thailand and especially Phuket culture. Ajarn Oh that made my sak yant granted a traditional high level experience and he is both skilled in the esoteric level and artistic creation of the tattoo. Just a detail, the agency may assure its own car for the transfer but moving with efficient taxi of Phuket was confortable for me.

Regarding transportation, we aim to provide the most efficient and convenient option based on each client’s location, whether that’s a private vehicle, taxi, (or public transport, particularly in areas like Bangkok where traffic can be a challenge). We’re happy to hear that the taxi service in Phuket worked well for you and appreciate your feedback as we continually refine our services.
Thank you again for letting us share this special experience with you. We wish you safe travels and look forward to welcoming you again in the future! 🙏🌏

This was a wonderful tour
This was a wonderful tour. Everyone in the group loved the experience. We all got to participate in making the cheese and loved talking to the family. This was a very cultural experience. Tour guide was very friendly and even took us to other places afterwards so we could get the most out of our trip. Highly recommended.

Sak Yant
I booked in for my Sak Yant through WSE & they had very good customer service - they were flexible in allowing me to change my mind on my Ajarn Master which i really appreciated. Lots of information provided re: preparing for the day and experience, aftercare etc. Ajarn Dej was amazing. Could sense that he was very real and genuine and as soon as he started tattooing me i felt a sense of calm. Noi was wonderful and upbeat - thank you both. Was a wonderful experience and couldn't be happier with the result of my Sak Yant or the experience.

Nice experience, good value
Joined this experience to learn more about Day of the Dead in Oaxaca. It was nice to connect with other visitors and locals. The group was large (about 40 people). Only one lead/guide was not enough.
Food and drinks were served. The dance exhibition needed a better venue than the sidewalk.
When we made it to the Pantheon General, I expected to visit the pantheon of the family member of the lady that gave the short talk. The translation by the guide did not really cover all the beautiful things she said and the history she talked about. The effect was lost in translation, which is a shame.
Overall a good experience that needs improvement.
Thanks!

Two amazing tours in Oaxaca
We had two amazing tours in Oaxaca from Where Sidewalks End. The alebrije tour was a great way to get to know the craft of making alebrijes. We then got to paint our own. And we did a cheese making tour - delicious cheese and got to learn about the process. We had two great tour guides and two great experiences!
