Real reviews from guests who explored the North with JTTT
"Absolutely the best tour experience in Chiang Rai! Small group meant we got personal attention at every stop. The White Temple was breathtaking."
"Incredible value and perfectly organised. Hotel pickup was so convenient and our guide spoke excellent English. No rushing at all."
"JTTT customised everything for us. The Golden Triangle was unforgettable and Stone was always available for questions. Best in Chiang Rai!"
No payment is needed to enquire. Send your dates and group size and we confirm availability within 24 hours. A 30% deposit then secures your dates, and the balance is due 14 days before you travel. Booked and operated directly by JTTT — a local Chiang Rai team, not a reseller.
Prices include comfortable 3–4★ twin-share hotels with breakfast (3 nights Chiang Mai + 2 nights Chiang Rai). Prefer 4–5★ or a private room? We will quote it — the single-room supplement is +฿6,000 for the 5 nights.
Yes — your group only, your own guide and vehicle the whole way, including the inter-city crossing. The pace and stops are flexible, you can swap the Chiang Rai mountain day for a full-day jungle trek at no extra cost, or add an extra night.
If you arrive into Chiang Mai it saves a transfer — you begin right away and finish in Chiang Rai. Same tour, same price; we run both directions with weekly departures and can also arrange private dates.
Yes. The itinerary includes a morning at a rescue valley where you watch the herd from a respectful distance — no riding, no bathing, no shows, no hooks. We only work with parks that put animal welfare first — for example Kanta Elephant Sanctuary or a similar ethical park; your exact park is confirmed in your booking pack.
This is a multi-day tour booked with a 30% deposit. The deposit is non-refundable — we pre-book hotels, vehicles and guides for you in advance. If you cancel 14 or more days before departure you forfeit only the deposit; for cancellations within 14 days of departure or a no-show, the full tour price is charged.
Easy to moderate. Expect stairs and some uneven paths at temples and waterfalls, but nothing technical — and because the tour is private, the pace is always yours. Doi Inthanon has an easy boardwalk at the summit.
Yes. Children from 4 years are welcome (child seat on request), and the pace works well for older travellers — there is an elevator at Wat Huay Pla Kang and a funicular at Doi Suthep. Tell us about any mobility needs and we plan around them.
Yes — just tell us when you book. Breakfasts are at your hotels and we choose lunch restaurants that can cook for your needs.
Yes. Two travellers get the same private guide and vehicle for all 6 days at ฿34,900 per person. We never merge you with another group.
November to February is the classic cool season. May to October is greener, quieter and just as beautiful — see the season guide above. We run weekly departures all year.
Your tour is run by JTTT's own team of licensed, English-speaking local guides and professional drivers. Full guide, driver and vehicle details are sent to you (or your agency) in writing 7 days before departure, so you know exactly who is picking you up.
Send your details and we reply within 24 hours. No payment now — a deposit secures your dates once we confirm availability.
