    Incredibly safe and nice driver :)

    Having in mind that this is a driver, not a tour, it is fantastic to be able to move at your own pace in such a long trip, Mr. Nai was incredibly kind and drove nicely and professionally all the way, we totally recommend to get it and enjoy with ease the amazing temples and everything that is offered here :)

    Highly recommend!!

    We originally hired Jo as a private guide to Chiang Rai. On the way, we made two short stops: a hot spring and Long Neck Village. Besides being an excellent driver, Jo is also very responsive, reliable, patient, kind, and respectful. We greatly enjoyed his company and appreciated his advice about other plans for our trip. He struck a perfect balance between accompanying us and giving our family space and time to explore on our own. We never felt rushed or pressured by him. We decided to hire him again as a private driver for the following day. With his advice and guidance, we created a wonderful itinerary for the our last day in Chiang Mai — Wat Phra That Doi Suthep, Tiger Kingdom, Land of Angels, and Bua Thong (Sticky) Waterfall — which was incredibly fun and memorable. Our whole family loved Jo and we highly recommend him. Traveling with Jo will undoubtedly make every experience even more memorable and special :)

    Amazing private tour - Highly recommend you to book a tour with him

    The tour was amazing. Highly recommend you to book this private tour and make your own schedule. Jo was very patient and made sure every tinny detail will be perfect. He was there, patiently waiting for us and giving us advice of what or where to go if we want. He had no issues when we asked him to visit things that weren’t initially planned and all he wanted was to make our visit to Chiang Rai memorable and unforgettable - he definitely achieved that. I have no words of how a good guy and amazing driver he is and all I can say is book him as a private tour as you’ll definitely won’t regret it. The luxury of seeing what you want, when you want and for as long as you want is priceless. Thank you Jo again for this experience and we hope your private tour driver job will get more and more rewarding because you 100% deserve it!

    Long Day Trip That’s Totally Worth It!

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 – A Long Day Trip That’s Totally Worth It! We took a full-day trip from Chiang Mai to see the White, Blue, and Red Temples in Chiang Rai – and it was absolutely worth every minute! The drive was long, but our car was super comfortable with great air conditioning and plenty of space Each temple had its own unique charm: the White Temple was stunning and surreal, the Blue Temple was beautifully intricate, and the Red Temple was peaceful and less crowded. The contrast between them made the whole experience really memorable. Highly recommend this trip if you’re in Chiang Mai and have a day to spare. Just sit back, enjoy the scenic drive, and prepare to be wowed!

    Response from the operator: Thank you for your kind review, Madam. We are pleased you loved your visit and sincerely hope to welcome you again in Chiang Mai soon :)

    Great guide for our Chiang Mai excursions

    Jo was our guide and driver for 2 days while visiting Chiang Mai. Being a family trip with 2 young ones, Jo was always up to our changing plans, and even attentive to our needs. He was always there when we needed a photo clicked or help with communications in thai. Highly recommend him for your trips to Chiang Mai.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for your kind review, Mister. We are pleased you loved your visit and sincerely hope to welcome you again in Chiang Mai soon :)

    Exclusive Northern Thailand Tours: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Chiang Mai.

    How much does Exclusive Northern Thailand Tours cost?

    +

    Prices start at $149 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Chiang Mai usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Exclusive Northern Thailand Tours take?

    +

    Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Chiang Mai is not rushed.

    Is Exclusive Northern Thailand Tours worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 13 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Chiang Mai, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Exclusive Northern Thailand Tours?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Exclusive Northern Thailand Tours suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Exclusive Northern Thailand Tours?

    +

    Around 5 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Chiang Mai can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Chiang Mai and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Exclusive Northern Thailand Tours start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Chiang Mai within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Chiang Mai?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Chiang Mai experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Half-Day Thai Cooking Class at Organic Farm in Chiang Mai, Full Day Thai Cooking at Farm (Chiang Mai), Chiang Mai Elephant Sanctuary, Bamboo Rafting and Waterfall Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Chiang Mai?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Chiang Mai?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Exclusive Northern Thailand Tours?

    +

    Included: Private transportation; Bottled water; Gas expanse; In-vehicle air conditioning; and Comfortable for 4 people, Maximum 6 people. Not included: Entrance ticket fee for $3; Lunch; and Dinner. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Exclusive Northern Thailand Tours include hotel pickup?

    +

    What languages is Exclusive Northern Thailand Tours offered in?

    +

    +
