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...

    Cannot recommend this tour highly enough. We actually did the self drive tour so we got to drive our own Tuk Tuk. The staff were amazing Nam, Yuth and Win looked after our every need. We were picked up from our hotel by Bruce and the team and transported to our first accommodation. We did a training session followed by a fantastic lunch. Then we got to drive our Tuk Tuks. Over the next few days we got to see great scenery visit temples and most importantly get up close and personal with the elephants. The day with the elephants was totally amazing and is a memory my family and I will cherish forever, Our second accommodation, whilst not being as luxurious was still very comfortable with amazing views over the rice the fields. I could not fault the tour, the staff were amazing and everything was so well organized. We did not want for anything. All our delicious meals were provided for as was all entrances and transport as needed. We didn't have to think about anything except enjoying the trip and having a great time. Our only problem was deciding what awesome things to buy at the markets. If I could give it 6 stars out of 5 I would. Thank you for an awesome adventure.

    So good I did it twice! I enjoyed a 5 star tour with my daughter in 2019 and came back in 2022 with my wife. The guides, locations, food, etc are all excellent but the star of the trip will always be the opportunity to drive the amazing Tuk-tuks. This trip is something really different and creates memories that last......

    We had an excellent adventure into the nature side of Northern Thailand. Both Graham and Boi were really open, friendly and sympathetic guides who took well care of us, adding new activities (i.e. Tie Dyeing) and helping with the small things like finding a missing cap. We met good people throughout, from Trish and Keith (Our fellow travellers) to Kenn, his family and the Tribal village. An adventure like no other, with the time behind the wheel of a Tuk Tuk only being a contributing factor.

    My Daughter and I had an excellent time. Driving the Tuk Tuks was a highlight and a wonderfully novel way to travel through the beautiful countryside. Our guides, Ken and Jaya were knowledgeable and thoughtful and ensured we had a great vacation.
