HER Tour and Car Service ( Chiangrai Guide - driver) Dao Raya.

Hiring a car with a driver who also guides is the sensible way to see Chiang Rai, and that's exactly what this is. Dao Raya runs it as a private service, so you're not counting heads on a minibus or waiting twenty minutes at every stop while someone finishes their photos. You say what you want to see, she works out the day.

That flexibility matters more here than in most parts of Thailand. The things worth seeing in this province are spread out, with temples, hill tribe villages, the border towns, and a lot of countryside in between. On a group tour you get three of them and a long lunch. With a driver you can chop the itinerary as the day goes, or skip something entirely if it's not landing.

Bookings go through the Facebook page, and there's a phone number listed. I'd get in touch well ahead of your dates, especially between November and February when everyone else in the northern hemisphere decides to visit northern Thailand at once.
