Based in Mae Yao, Chiang Rai, Japa Tour Company is a tour and travel agency specialising in personalised experiences across northern Thailand. The agency offers a range of itineraries including multi-day jungle treks, cultural immersion tours, and private transport arrangements, making it a practical choice for both adventurous travellers and families exploring the region.
Visitors consistently praise the agency's flexibility and responsiveness, with guides noted for strong English communication and a willingness to tailor trips to individual preferences. Family-friendly treks have included hands-on activities such as traditional cooking with locals, bamboo cooking techniques, and chopstick making. The jungle trek and survival tours cover significant distances on foot — one reviewer noted approximately 13 kilometres on the first day — so participants should be prepared for moderate to strenuous activity. Private transfers to destinations such as Chiang Mai can also be arranged, with the agency known for organising comfortable, reliable transport on short notice via WhatsApp.
As a practical note, Japa Tour caters well to last-minute bookings and custom requests, so travellers who haven't planned their itinerary in advance can still reach out directly through their website or messaging apps. Those considering multi-day tours should review the full itinerary details on the agency's website, as experiences can vary between days — particularly for river-based activities. Comfortable walking shoes and appropriate clothing for jungle conditions are advisable for trekking tours.

We booked a 2 Days 1 Night Jungle Trek and Survival Tour. Everything was well organized, the guide was very friendly and good English speaking person! On the first day we trekked for about 13km through the jungle, we made a break to swim in a creek and had some lunch with some local rice farmer on the way up to the mountain. Later we were lucky to find some Turtle mushrooms, which are quite rare in that area. We spend a night with his family in the village and cooked a tasty dinner from the collected mushrooms! The accommodation was basic but clean and the family were very good hosts. On the next day we continued our trekking. We learned how to build cups and chop sticks from bamboo trees and prepared our own food using traditional bamboo cooking techniques in the middle of a green rice field. Finally we arrived the hot springs to relax from those days and returned to Chiang Rai. Over all there was nothing to complain! It was a great experience! Thank you all at Japa Tours for this trip!
Fabulous, very good experience of a 2-day family trek with 3 children (7,12,14 years old). Discovery of local culture, traditional cooking with the locals and cooking with bamboo. Make chopsticks, spoons, cups. We loved this unique experience. Our guide was perfect. I recommend Japa tours without hesitation.
I did the 2 day tour as per their website plus private transport to Chiang Mai.the tour was nice even if I was expecting a bit more from second day where the tour on mekong was not really nice. It is just crossing the river and arriving in this very depressing island with casino.in the island there are few stands of fake products and it is mostly deserted. A trekking or a more nature oriented experience would have been much better. The tour guide Charlie was prepared, nice and he spoke good English.
