The Tuk Tuk Club was the result of too many long flights, too much thinking / dreaming time and a few too many nights of far too many beers. Surely it’s possible to drive a Tuk Tuk around the mountains of Thailand we thought, everyone else seemed to think it wasn’t. A few months of navel gazing...

    Good tour to experience northern Thailand. It's great to get out of the city, drive thru the mountains, see some National Park areas, and get an introduction to the people and culture. One of my favorite days was the visit with the elephants, but there were many more highlights on the tour. We took turns driving our Tuktuk, but if you want to relax and just take it all in opt for a chauffeur driven Tuktuk.

    Such a fun way to explore the less travelled roads of Chiang Mai area and northern Thailand. The 11 day tuk tuk holiday with Yuth and Nahm as guides was so interesting and adventurous. Both are very knowledgeable about local history, temples, foods, agricultural crops and have great general knowledge of their home country Thailand. Walking with elephants down to the river, rafting, hiking, exploring caves, visiting local markets and tasting local street foods as well as seeing some astounding scenery from the mountainous terrain and driving those switchbacks was exciting. The group of 11 gelled well with 3 leaving after their 5 day tour and clearly wishing they had stayed on………as they followed our jaunts for the next 6 days and we theirs. The tuk tuks are now automatic transmission and comfortable to ride in as the refreshing perspective of seeing everything from such a novel vehicle is a huge part of this fun adventure. I can’t recommend this tour enough……just do it! Bruce Paxton the fearless leader is very professional and responsive to every question before, during and after.

    Fantastic tour leaders, Boyz and Bigg. Nothing was too much trouble. We saw places in the mountains we would never have seen by ourselves. It was so relaxing sitting in the back of the Tuk Tuk with a lovely cool breeze. We were able to enjoy all the sights. Bruce the owner, greeted us on the first day and shouted us all drinks on the last day. Much appreciated.

    One of the best experiences I have done. Our drivers & tour leader were knowledgeable , knew the roads & traffic conditions ( believe me that is a necessity). Boys, Ao & Milk shared so much knowledge of Thai culture. We started our tour with a monk blessing, experieced swimming with elephants, rafting, amazing views, swimming in waterfalls, exploring caves, hiking and so much more. The food was sensational, coctails amazing & who could forget the massages? Beds are very firm but an extra pillow solves that. Best of all those amazing Thai smiles!!

    For anyone that wants adventure and a fabulous experience, I would suggest the 11 day Tuk tuk club trip. So much fun. Words cannot express how wonderful the guides were, and how they took care to keep us safe and teach us about the beautiful country of Thailand. Lots of walking, but at 75 years old, I did fine. So many places that most tourists don’t even know exist. . So very happy I did this trip. Carpe dien!

    Absolutely awesome experience!! Tony our guide was brilliant- v caring, informative, witty and clever. Mr Win was a great back up guy - so polite and helpful :) Nothing was too much trouble for either of them - they looked after us all v well. The Tuk Tuks were amazing - great fun to drive and training was all done at a very nice gentle pace to suit everyone - even I passed the driving test on day one! ;) Fantastic route - so many bends, inclines, declines and narrow country roads too. Definitely the way to travel this part of the world and get off the tourist trail to see the real Thailand and meet it's people. Great stops/activities/accommodations en route - esp the afternoon with the elephants - walked with the elephants to the river and helped with their bath time- awesome :))
