Chiang Mai Day Tours

“We had an excellent experience with Pongchat during our trip through Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai. He was very kind, professional, and always attentive to us and our family. He took us to see incredible temples and also the long-neck village, making the entire tour very interesting and special. He was always willing to help and share information about the culture and history of each place. We highly recommend Pongchat for his excellent service, kindness, and dedication. Thank you very much for making our trip an unforgettable experience!”

“I did several day tours with Chet, including Chiang Rai and other Northern Thailand highlights, and every single day was incredible. Chet is one of the most thoughtful, patient, and knowledgeable drivers I’ve ever met. His timing was perfect, his driving was smooth, and he always knew the best viewpoints, hidden stops, and quiet moments away from the crowds. I can’t wait to go back again. If you want private tours that are relaxed, beautifully paced, and truly memorable, I can’t recommend Chet enough.”

“Our day with Chet was everything I hoped for and more. I’m in my 60s and traveling with family, and from the moment we met him, I felt at ease. He took care of every detail, made sure we never felt rushed, and brought a calm kindness to the whole experience. If you want a day that feels personal, meaningful, and effortlessly smooth. Chet is the one to take you.”

“I first met Chet seven years ago, and from that moment my understanding of Northern Thailand changed forever. Since then I have returned to Chiang Mai many times, and every visit begins the same way with a message to Chet because for me he is no longer just a driver or guide. He is family. Over the years he has taken me on countless journeys, from peaceful mornings on Doi Suthep to long days exploring Chiang Rai and the quiet beauty of Doi Inthanon. No matter where we go, Chet brings a sense of calm, kindness, and genuine care that is impossible to describe. He never rushes, never pushes, and somehow always knows the perfect place to pause for coffee, photos, or a quiet moment to breathe in the cool mountain air. Last year we spent twenty three days traveling across Northern Thailand with Chet and his wife, and it felt like being welcomed into another home. We shared stories, laughed together on the road, and ended each day feeling grateful for the company. His wife cooks with so much heart that her food became one of the unexpected highlights of the entire trip. I cannot recommend Chet enough to anyone who wants to truly experience Northern Thailand, whether it is for a single day or a long journey through the region. He is patient, trustworthy, gentle, and genuinely proud of the places he shares. If you want more than a tour if you want to feel cared for and understood Chet is the person you want by your side. He has shown me the mountains, the temples, the gardens, and the hidden corners of this remarkable part of the world. More than anything he has shown me kindness. And that is what keeps bringing me back.”

“We had the most wonderful experience on our Chiang Rai tour with Pongchat from Chiang Mai Private Driving Tours. From the very beginning, Pongchat was friendly, professional, and incredibly accommodating. He made sure we felt comfortable and safe throughout the entire day. The itinerary was perfectly paced, and Pongchat was very nice replying to our questions, and adapt plans to our needs. What impressed us most was his genuine kindness and willingness to make the tour special for our family. He truly went above and beyond, and we felt like we were traveling with a friend rather than just a guide. We highly recommend Pongchat and Chiang Mai Private Driving Tours to anyone visiting northern Thailand. Thank you for an amazing day! 🙏💛”
