Outstanding! I booked a private full day tour and could not have asked for anything more. Aday was my guide/driver, and he was such a delight to spend the day with. The thoughtful personalization and go-at-my-own-flow pace made for a fantastic day. I was interested in visiting some of the coffee farms up north on the Myanmar border, as well as visiting the main temple sites. Aday knew the area very well and made sure we stopped at all the best coffee shops in the small villages. He took me to his favorite nam ngiao spot for breakfast. And he went the extra mile to help me locate something valuable I had left the previous day in a Grab ride. It was a very full, but relaxing and enjoyable day. So all I can say is ขอบคุณมาก to both Aday and M for a great tour and a day I will always remember!
Was great to engage with Chiang Rai Lanna Tours for our private tours during our stay in Chiang Rai. They were very responsive on WhatsApp right from the enquiry all the way through the confirmation of the day on the tour and even when we adjusted some of the timing at the late evening on the day before. Our tour guide Khun M (or M&M as he would joke 😃) was very knowledgeable and passionate on his sharing for each of the locations we visited and made sure we took all the time we needed without rushing us. Thumbs up and highly recommend this tour company for whoever that needs a customized tour that delivers!
I had a day with a driver booked through Chiang Rai Lanna Tours to see the sights in the surrounding area. What a wonderful day I had. My driver Fido, was amazing. We had a great time. It was fun, educational and at my pace. If you don’t want to be in a group then I recommend this option. Ask for Fido.

Tips for Visiting Activities & Tours
Vet Elephant Sanctuaries
Only visit sanctuaries that prohibit riding, use no chains or bullhooks, and let elephants roam freely. Elephant Nature Park in Chiang Mai set the standard. If a place offers painting shows or circus tricks, walk away.
Book Popular Activities Online
Booking platforms like GetYourGuide give you instant confirmation and, on many activities, free cancellation — and you can read recent reviews before committing. Compare with local agencies for multi-day trips where negotiation might save more.
Do Outdoor Activities in the Morning
Heat and humidity peak from noon to 3 PM. Schedule jungle treks, cycling tours, and outdoor cooking classes for early morning. Water activities are more flexible since you're in and out of the sea.
