When I send a plan, I usually finish the email the same way: “You can consider with your friends first. Or you have any suggestions, it’s ok for me too.” That is how it works.

Every trip on this site started as a guest’s request. One family asked me to organise their son’s tenth birthday at an elephant sanctuary. A couple from New Zealand wanted a zipline, two temples, the umbrella village and four craft factories in one day, and we did it between half past seven and five. Others want a driver for a week and a plan that changes every evening. Tell me what you have in mind.

Highlights

  • Airport and train station transfers to your hotel, any time of day or night
  • Half-day and full-day trips built around your interests
  • Multi-day journeys across northern Thailand
  • Things guests have asked me for: a zipline, a Karen village, the monkey cave, a birthday party at an elephant sanctuary, the night bazaar, a six-day loop through Chiang Rai and Mae Hong Son
  • Planning is free and happens before you arrive

The day

A typical day. We can move, skip or add stops.

  1. Tell me your ideas

    Send me a WhatsApp message with your dates, how many you are, and what you would like to see or do. If you have no idea yet, tell me what you enjoy and I will suggest something.

  2. I suggest a plan

    I reply with a route, timings and one price for the van. I also tell you what does not fit in a day. Some guests want the White Temple and Doi Inthanon on the same day, and that is not a good idea.

  3. We adjust until it feels right

    Change anything you like and I send a new plan.

  4. Your trip

    I am at your hotel at the agreed time. If you change your mind during the day, we change the plan.

Along the way

Included

  • Private air-conditioned van for 2 to 9 people with me as your driver
  • Pickup and drop-off anywhere in Chiang Mai
  • Fuel, tolls and parking
  • Bottled water

Not included

  • Entrance fees, activity fees and meals
  • Hotels on multi-day trips

Bring

  • Depends on the day. I will tell you when we plan it.

Good to know

Many guests book me for three to six days and mix my day trips with their own ideas. It is cheaper per day than booking day by day, and you don't have to explain yourself again each morning.

For airport transfers, send me your flight number. I check the arrival time before I leave.
