Reviews from our guests

I decided last minute that I wanted to take a trip from Chiang Mai to Doi Inthanon. I had no car or idea how to get there but knew I didn’t want to go with a big group. I found this company online and messaged them the day before in the afternoon and they immediately responded to set me up with a driver. Shortly after I was given a confirmation and my time desire was easily met. My expectations were exceeded as my driver showed up on time in a really nice SUV with his brother. They were extremely nice and took me to each spot on my itinerary even opening and closing the door for me (not expected). My driver even told me about another area I hadn’t planned that he liked and took me there with no additional cost. No additional costs, hidden fees, and they even turned down my offer to buy them drinks and snacks when we stopped before the park. Being an American, the cost for this type of service was incredibly low for what I got in comparison to a slow moving group thing would have made me miserable. So glad I went there, as it was beautiful, and so glad I used this service. If you’re in Chiang Mai and want to go to Doi Inthanon use these guys and you won’t regret it. Happy travels. Cheers and thanks Thai National Parks for taking care of me on such short notice. Trip to Chiang Mai wouldn’t have been the same without this part to Doi Inthanon.
Tour operator's response
Thanks for your positive feedback. However, we are very disturbed to hear the driver had his brother in the car for a private taxi service. We will pass the word to our drivers that during a taxi service they can't have their friends/relatives or anybody else in the car other than our guests.
Tour operator's response
I understand your desire to maintain a safe and consistent service for your clients. It is much appreciated. If you are going to communicate to your drivers that additional individuals are not allowed, please do not discipline my specific driver. The service was beyond expectations and the addition of his brother was welcome and even added to the positivity of my experience due to his added positive interaction, even opening and closing my car door. Holding this against them will certainly cause me to change my opinion and review of your company. Thank you
Tour operator's response
We won't discipline for this case or for other minor cases. It is a cultural issue, and we prefer to update our drivers with a soft tone, and explain. In this case, we would simply explain the etiquettes of different cultures, that it is not ok to have someone else in the car.
We already passed your review to him that you are happy with the service to soften the chat with him. We worked with him for a long time, we never heard any complaints. :)
However, we get very upset when we hear incidents like this. I think this is 3rd or 4th time it is happening over the all years.
We "discipline", often means "stop working" with a driver when showing some serious degree of dishonesty or other more serious behavior.

This is the best way to see Doi Inthanon Natiiotnal Park! It was convenient, clean, and relaxing. My driver, Piak, was so friendly and helpful from the very start. While there was a bit of a language barrier, we used Google Translate to help when needed. One of the best parts was the Kew Mae Pan trail. Don't miss it!

The driver, Bank is able to understand English and communicate with us. He is very helpful as he is the interpreter for us with the home stay owner. Once again, we want to thank Bank for our enjoyable trip.

Our driver was prompt, friendly and very helpful. He was well informed. He was waiting at each stage, exactly as he said he would be. It was a lovely way to experience the park.
The communication by email to arrange the taxi service was very prompt and helpful. Thanks so much!

Our itinerary:
- Doi Inthanon Summit
- Ang Ka Luang Nature Trail
- Two Chedis
- Hmong Market
- Siriphum Waterfall
- Sirithan Waterfall
- Wachirathan Waterfall
- Pha Chor
Our driver, Piak, was brilliant! He didn't speak great English, but we managed to communicate via Google Translate on our phones. We agreed an itinerary in advance with the helpful staff online the day before, discussing what was a good plan for the day ensuring we would have enough time in each place.
Piak picked us up and drove us to the Doi Inthanon summit which was beautiful, we walked along the trail and Piak met us at the bottom. We then moved onto Two Chedi's - Absolutely incredible, and one of the benefits of a private driver is we were able to spend as much time as we wanted in each place without being rushed.
We were then driven to a market briefly to look for food or souvenirs - No pressure to buy anything.
Piak then took us to the waterfalls - Sadly one was closed due to a landslide, but the other two were remoarkable.
One extra thing we did was Piak took us for a free coffee in a village he knew, freshly made and provided us with a banana too. A nice surprise!
Finally we went to Pha Chor, which we added to the itinerary as it's a little off route. A great stop and walk to explore the old waterway. Piak then dropped us off in good time.
The driver was excellent, and the car was perfect - Definitely a better experience than cramming into a small minivan with 13 other people. Couldn't recommend this method of exploring the national park more highly!

Mr M is very nice driver.
Although we didnt see the sunrise because of the fog it was an excellent trip.

Loved our trip and loved our driver who ensured we made a quick stop to the restroom before going all the way up to Inthanon. He was very polite and kind :)

The taxi service was wonderful. The driver was polite and friendly, waited for us and gave us clear instructions as to where he would be waiting. The national park itself is gorgeous and is well worth a visit! I would highly recommend using the service as it is great value for money. My one complaint was that we asked for the sunrise service so met our driver at 4.30am, following the advice of the company. When we reached the park, the sun had mostly risen so we missed getting to see the whole thing. We still got some fantastic pictures so it is a minor complaint and didn’t take away from the overall experience of the day whatsoever.
