“Sixteen years ago, on our honeymoon, he met us at the train station holding a small handwritten sign: 'MR BOON, TUK TUK FOR HIRE'. We came back with our family in 2025 and he was still there, now with a minivan. He is kind, humble, caring and gentle, with outstanding English and a deep love for his city.”
“He was honest and told us it is cheaper by metered taxi, but I wanted peace of mind and to meet him before our 4 days of trips. He was a very safe driver and so friendly, it was like being driven by a friend.”
“It was a truly memorable experience for our family of 5 with Mr. Boon. He is very polite, kind, patient, and professional. His pricing is very reasonable, and communication via WhatsApp was incredibly easy.”
“Amazing! Cannot recommend more highly. Our family of 9 were expertly navigated around Chiang Mai. Mr Boon regaled us with history, funny stories and genuine insight into Thai life.”
“Every place we went he told us the story behind the monument or the temple. Also took us to local restaurants with amazing traditional food. So far, the best guide we found during our stay in Thailand.”
“We traveled as a group of four adults and two babies. The private elephant sanctuary experience he suggested was a highlight of our trip.”
“He picked us up at 7:30 and dropped us home at 5, and we had a wonderful day. He is friendly and accommodating and totally to be trusted.”
“He was always punctual, professional, and very attentive to our comfort throughout the Chiang Mai, Mae Salong and Chiang Rai trip. He was extremely familiar with the routes and offered great suggestions for scenic stops.”
“There were 10 of us, two families. He organized everything for us and it was so easy and smooth. Very fond memories and a heavy heart to leave him.”
“Mister Boon was a very good, nice and safe driver. He was very flexible whenever we wanted to stop somewhere or stay a bit longer.”
“He provided excellent service to the 7 of us, he was like a family member. He also arranged my son's 10th birthday celebration in the elephant sanctuary.”
“We had our own interests that Boon respected, and he also optimized our itinerary. Our teenagers, who are more into beaches, asked if one day we could come back.”
“He suggested a good 6-day itinerary for us and was very flexible to our requests for changes. Boon is attentive, helpful, speaks good English, drives safely and best of all, knows all the good local eating places.”
“Mr. Boon is very friendly, efficient, timely and knowledgeable. The vehicle was very clean and comfortable. He is a great example of the charm and gentility of the Thai people.”
“We contacted Mr. Boon 2 months before our arrival in Chiang Mai and agreed on a program of visits. Not having to find a driver between visits is a real comfort.”
“He helped us in ordering our veg food in Chiang Rai where people did not understand our language. Very neat van, perfect driving.”
“Mr. Boon is an excellent guide. This is the 3rd time we have traveled with him. He is a very attentive, kind person. He drives very carefully.”
“He was so patient with us even though we changed our minds multiple times throughout the days we were with him. He showed us lots of things we hadn't heard of, off the beaten track.”
“We had an amazing experience with Mr Boon for 4 days. He is a perfect driver, is kind, funny, full of care, knowledgeable.”
“Exceptionally professional from first contact via email to driving us for 2 days in Chiang Mai. Patient, friendly and extremely knowledgeable about the area.”
“He was a clear communicator and checked in with us again ahead of the day. He took us to a cave where we saw monkeys and he brought food for the kids to feed them.”
