One of my best adventurous memories of the books!
It was such a fun adventure with Boys & Katie - I loved it (Not sure if that’s the correct way to spell our tour guide though). From getting trained/driving my own tuk tuk to getting to meet the cutest elephants to bamboo rafting, I had so much fun! Since I am the solo traveler, I really appreciated the pictures and videos Boys took for me and our tour group of the fun moments I had with the elephants! Boys also lent me his slippers and that truly saved my feet! I wore a short light-weight waterproof boots but during our walk with the elephants, we had to walk through the rivers that my boots were not long enough for. Slippers were fine for me but I would highly recommend you to wear a long waterproof boots or water sports shoes or sandals with straps to walk comfortably!
Response from the operator: Many thanks for having joined the 1 Day Adventure and we're delighted that you had a great day out with Boyz and Katy and had lots of fun. Wishing you a great rest of your time exploring Thailand and we hope we might be lucky enough to meet you again one day

An unforgettable day – far exceeded our expectations!
We booked the one-day Tuk Tuk tour after seeing it mentioned in the Lonely Planet guide to Thailand. In hindsight, the guidebook completely undersold what turned out to be one of the highlights of our trip. Neither of us had ever driven, or even ridden in, a tuk tuk before, so we weren’t quite sure what to expect. We were collected from our hotel by bus and taken to a private training centre, where we were given clear, patient instruction until we felt completely confident driving our own tuk tuk. From there, we headed into the beautiful hills around Mae Wang, visiting a Buddhist temple where we learned about the new buildings under construction and saw the caves where monks used to live. It was a fascinating insight into the local culture and history. The next stop was an elephant sanctuary, where we enjoyed a delicious lunch before feeding the elephants and walking some of them down to the river for their bath. Spending time with these magnificent animals in such a peaceful setting was a truly phenomenal experience and one we’ll remember for a long time. To round off the day, we took a wonderfully relaxing bamboo raft trip along the Mae Wang River before returning to the sanctuary to collect our tuk tuk and drive it back. Our guide was outstanding throughout the day. The driving instruction was excellent, they were incredibly knowledgeable about every place we visited, and, above all, the hospitality was exceptional. We felt looked after from start to finish. The whole day offered fantastic value for money, combining adventure, culture, wildlife and stunning scenery into one unforgettable experience. We’ve come away with some truly special memories, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend The Tuk Tuk Club to anyone visiting Chiang Mai. If you’re looking for a unique and memorable day out, this is it.
Response from the operator: Many thanks for having chosen to join us for a precious day of your travels and we're all delighted that you enjoyed your day on three wheels so much Wishing you a fantastic rest of your time exploring Thailand and we hope we might be lucky enough to meet you again one day

Best fun tuk tuk adventure
Wow!! This was a fantastic 5 day adventure loved by our 16yrs old, 21yr old plus us 50+ . Everything from booking to end was perfectly arranged. The guides were sensational! And even though we were chauffeur driven we still.got to drive on day 1. All the stops along the way, food and accommodation was brilliant. My only negative was that I didn't book the 11 days, I didn't want the adventure to end 😪
Response from the operator: We're delighted that you all had a fantastic time on your 5 Day Adventure and many thanks to you all for being such adventurous travellers and throwing yourselves into everything that Northern Thailand has to offer We hope we'll see you again some time - do come back and join an 11 Day Adventure!

11 Day Tuk Tuk Adventure Tour
11 Day Tuk Tuk Adventure If you are looking for a fantastic holiday travel experience with a professional company then look no further than the Tuk Tuk Club. I came along with my wife after a recommendation from a friend and was immediately impressed. Our tour guides Nahm, Bigg & Ou were brilliant . All were conscientious, safety minded & great fun. They had a genuine concern for our wellbeing & ran everything with happy efficiency & were always available if required. Every element has been thought through & is delivered efficiently and with care. The Tuk Tuk club excels on many levels. It is well run, trains you safely to drive and opens a door to a slice of Thailand you can’t get anywhere else. We learned a lot about Thai culture, religion & way of life and visited some special places well off the beaten tourist track. The Thai people made us welcome & showed a generosity of spirit. We had some experiences & memories that will last a lifetime. We stayed in accommodation which ranged from the best available local-style in a local village right through to a top-end super comfortable resort hotel with infinity pool. All accommodation was always clean & well presented. The food was varied & plenty of it, & the beers at the end of a day in our special vehicle were always cold. I could go on & on. Book with confidence that you will be welcomed by people who run a great company and are focused on you having a fantastic time - every day. Thank you all, from the first quick reply to my email from Tom right to the last hug from Nahm when she dropped us off at the end of a not to be forgotten 11 day Tuk Tuk Adventure!
Response from the operator: Many thanks for taking the time to write such a wonderful review and we're all delighted that you had such a great time on your adventure. And thank you for the special mentions for Nahm, Bigg, Ou and also Tom - we're incredibly lucky to have such a wonderful team of people all coming together to deliver the adventures Thank you for having thrown yourselves into everything that Northern Thailand has to offer and for being such adventurous travellers

Why this scores 88
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Full-Day Guided Tuk Tuk Chiang Mai Adventure and Rafting: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Chiang Mai.
How much does Full-Day Guided Tuk Tuk Chiang Mai Adventure and Rafting cost?
+
Prices start at $185 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 Full-Day Guided Tuk Tuk Chiang Mai Adventure and Rafting take?
+
Plan for about 10 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 Full-Day Guided Tuk Tuk Chiang Mai Adventure and Rafting worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 88 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 149 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Chiang Mai, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Full-Day Guided Tuk Tuk Chiang Mai Adventure and Rafting?
+
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 Full-Day Guided Tuk Tuk Chiang Mai Adventure and Rafting suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Full-Day Guided Tuk Tuk Chiang Mai Adventure and Rafting?
+
Around 52 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 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Full-Day Guided Tuk Tuk Chiang Mai Adventure and Rafting 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), Thai and Akha Cooking Class in Chiang Mai. 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.
