Chiang Mai - Doi Inthanon taxi service
About our taxi services
With our full-day private taxi service, you can visit a number of attractions in Doi Inthanon National Park. The places you wish to visit should be agreed in advance so that we can provide you with a clear quote.
Our regular taxis are SUVs for up to 4 people. For larger groups, we use minivans for up to 10 people. All vehicles are spacious, air-conditioned and comfortable.
Our taxi services are private, meaning no other guests will join you.
We work with a local team of drivers from Chiang Mai. Unless a driver has recently joined the team, our drivers are very familiar with Doi Inthanon National Park. We have worked with some of them for nearly a decade, and we do not simply use random drivers.
Service hours
Our standard price is based on pickup from Chiang Mai City. Additional charges apply if your pickup location is elsewhere in Chiang Mai Province.
The service hours are flexible. For a normal full-day visit, we suggest a 7:00 am pickup from Chiang Mai, with service inside the national park until around 4:00 pm. You will then be returned to Chiang Mai City.
If you would like to see the sunrise from Doi Inthanon, we can start as early as 4:00 am for an additional 300 Baht. The taxi service can then continue inside the park until around 1:00 pm.
Sunrise times vary throughout the year. You can easily check the sunrise time for your chosen date online, for example by searching “Sunrise in Chiang Mai on 1 June”.
Popular spots
- Doi Inthanon Summit
- Ang Ka Luang Nature Trail — the boardwalk on the opposite side of the road from the summit trail (closed September–October)
- Kew Mae Pan Nature Trail (November to May)
- Two Chedis
- Hmong Market on the main road
- Wachirathan Waterfall
- Sirithan Waterfall
- Pha Dok Siew Trail (June to October)

- Sakura trees in bloom — usually for a brief period in February. The exact dates vary, and there is no guarantee that the trees will be in bloom on any particular day in February.
Price
Due to increased fuel costs in Thailand, a temporary fuel surcharge may apply to the prices below. The exact surcharge, if applicable, will be confirmed during the enquiry process.
The prices below are per taxi, not per person. They include fuel and the driver's and vehicle's entrance fees to the national park, but not the entrance fees for passengers.
The standard service period can be extended for an additional 200 Baht per starting hour.
The price does not include your personal expenses, such as passenger entrance fees, trail guide fees, meals or refreshments.
There will be no additional costs beyond those agreed with you in advance.
Full day taxi service
| Service | SUV (1-4 pax) | Minivan (5-10 pax) |
|---|---|---|
| Chiang Mai – Doi Inthanon (full day service) | 3,200 to 3,300 THB | 3,800 to 4,000 THB |
* The price includes one pickup/drop off location. An additional 200–300 Baht is charged for each additional location, regardless of how close it is to the first pickup.
Additional charges apply if you include a visit to:
- Mae Ya Waterfall, south of Doi Inthanon National Park: +500 Baht
- Doi Suthep Temple (temple visit only): +500 Baht
- Pha Chor in Mae Wang National Park: +300 Baht (SUV only, max 4 people; closed in March/April)
- Mae Pan Waterfall & Campsite, west of the park: +500 Baht
Because visiting the first three locations involves significant additional driving time, we recommend including no more than one of them in the same taxi service.

We had an amazing day in Doi Inthanon NP with our driver Nara. Everything was well organised (also during booking and information upfront) and Nara was so funny and sweet.

Prompt reply from before the trip with tailored itinerary and also on the day update on the driver and taxi details. ease of mind and secured. The driver is responsible. and patients while waiting for us. We enjoy the visit to the national park. Despict the only unfortunate is heavy storm when reach in royal pagoda and not able to see the popular panoramic view. Will definitely come back next time. Also will promote this link to other travellers for ease of planning. Overall:Well Organized and smooth trip from the taxi service.

The day was really great thanks to our driver Piak ! A really good people, with smile, speak English,…
He knows the road so don’t worry about the turns in the uphill sections.
The reaction of the answer was also quick so all it’s perfect and correspond to our expectations

Great service! Was hesitant at first to book this or a guided tour or a different private taxi service but this is 100% the right choice!
Definitely recommend this for couples and families with young kids who may need to go more at their own pace :)
1. Customer support chat is helpful, friendly, and knowledgeable. They didn’t mind that I had so many questions and Rushen even helped me understand what “downtown Chiang Mai” is for the hotel pick up.
2. The car was comfortable with no strong smells, good air conditioning, and the driver, Piak, was friendly, knowledgeable, respectful, and very grateful. He was patient that my partner and I really take our time at each attraction. Every time he dropped us off he always guided us where the bathrooms, food stalls/restos, and pick up will be at. He also always opens the door for me like a gentleman!
Piak also made sure we did the attractions in order appropriate for the sun and heat and that we got to see the best waterfall!
Excited to book this service next time I come to Thailand again!

Nous avons eu un très bon chauffeur qui était très sympathique qui nous déposait aux différentes attractions selon le programme. Nous avons pu laisser toute nouvelle liste toute la journée dans le monospace. Citation le temps que nous voulons aux différents arrêts et le chauffeur nous attend toujours sur le parking même si nous faisons une randonnée de deux ou trois heures.
