5 Day Tuk Tuk Adventure in Chiang Mai - with driver

What a delightful, 5-day tour with The Tuk Tuk Club and Khun Bigg! We chose the self-drive option, and my husband and I had such fun driving our own Tuk Tuk and following Khun Bigg's Tuk Tuk on this adventure. He was a most excellent guide - engaging, informed, attentive, and full of love and enthusiasm for his culture and his part of Thailand. Bruce, the founder of The Tuk Tuk Club, was very helpful in finding a spot for us in an otherwise fully booked month. The pace of our tour was just right, with interesting sites, activities and hikes, as well as some time just for the two of us. The food was delicious, very fresh and local and we enjoyed discovering new dishes from Northern Thailand. The accommodation (2 nights in the Mae Wang area and 2 nights in a small bungalow in a Karen Hill Tribe village) was just as described on their website - appealingly unique, comfortable and clean. And last, but certainly not least, our Tuk Tuk. Colourful, clean, with its own personality, "Rock" (each of The Tuk Tuk Club's tuk tuks have their own name proudly displayed on the front, and all are named after members of Bruce's family), was great fun to drive and we both enjoyed being a passenger as well (comfortable bench seat, with seat belt if you wan, and plenty of leg room, and great views). Several of our friends are now interested in this tour and we may gather a group of us and book an 11-day trip next year! Lynn B

I can't say enough good things about this experience! My friend and I were talking about it on our way home and had trouble choosing our best moment of the trip because every day and every activity was awesome in its own way. The whole experience was very well planned, balancing active adventures like hiking, rafting, and swimming in waterfalls with cultural experiences in the Buddhist temples and village markets and of course the great fun of interacting with elephants. The tuk tuks (and even the driving lessons) were a blast, and we loved getting to know our guides, who combined insider knowledge, humor, and experience to teach us about our surroundings, answer questions, and keep things running smoothly. They were also respectful of vegetarian and food allergy issues in my group and made sure we had delicious options throughout the trip. Highly, highly recommend!!

Absolutely fantastic, beyond expectations, from day one , being taken to learn the tuk tuk , to driving up in the hills , our guide Boz was a fountain of information, his English was very good . And anything to do with Thai food , he was great . We went to see the elephants , did bamboo’ rafting , walking up to the waterfalls, and even got a blessing from a monk for my wife’s 60 th birthday. I still haven’t come down from this cloud I’m on . We were treated more like friends, than tourists .
