Chiang Mai & Northern Thailand

Private Driver Day Trips, Airport Transfers & Road Journeys

One fixed price per car. Your own schedule, your own stops, and a local driver who knows every mountain road from Doi Inthanon to Pai.

Most sights around Chiang Mai sit one to three hours out of town, on roads where songthaews don't run and Grab rarely waits. A private car lets you leave at sunrise, stay longer where you like, and skip what you don't.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the price per person or per car?
Per car. A sedan seats up to 3 guests with luggage and a van seats up to 9. The price stays the same however many people ride.
What's included in the price?
The driver, fuel, tolls and parking. Entrance fees, meals and the driver's tip are not included.
Can we change stops during the day?
Yes. The itinerary is a starting point. Tell your driver on the day and they will adjust, as long as the total hours stay close to what was booked.
Do you provide child seats?
Yes, on request. Let us know the ages of your children when you book so we can fit the right seats.
How do I book and pay?
Message us on WhatsApp or LINE with your date, hotel and route. We confirm a fixed price; you pay a small deposit and the rest in cash or transfer on the day.
Is it worth visiting in burning season (March–April)?
Air quality is often poor in March and April. Mountain trips like Doi Inthanon can still be clear above the haze, and we can suggest routes that suit the day's conditions.
Hard to get there on your own?
