Once in a lifetime experience! Big was a great teacher and came prepared with everything we needed for the trip. Driving to and from the areas was a breeze and the elephants were amazing to experience.

Fantastic experience with an amazing guide ;) definitely recommending it for everyone to try and drive tuk tuk - it’s so much fun. Same as all other activities :)

Nam made the experience come to life! She was so knowledgeable and could answer all our questions. She has the greatest personality and worked well with everyone she came into contact with. Very caring and made sure we had a fun time and took tons of pictures for us. Thank you Nam!

All in all good day, Tuk Tuk was a little temperamental, and a very stiff throttle, but thank you for your hospitality, and a great lunch
Response from Host, Jul 2023
Many thanks for having spent the day with The Tuk Tuk Club and great to hear you had a good day out
We're sorry that the throttle was a little stiff on the Tuk Tuk - it's being looked at and fixed as I type
Hope you have a fantastic rest of your travels in Thailand and thanks again for having joined The Tuk Tuk Club

This was a really fun day driving through remote areas that I would not have seen otherwise. They give you instruction and you practice driving your TukTuk before you head out on the road. You get to feed and bathe the elephants in the river and just spend time with them. They all seem to have their own personalities. I saw temples and went in a cave that a monk once lived in and ended the day on a bamboo raft ride down the river. There were several water buffalo in the river that we passed by and elephants along the banks. I ended up being the only one on the tour that day so I got personalized attention. I am terrible remembering names but my guides were amazing and took sooo many photos and videos of me and sent them to me. I really wish I remembered their names because they were great. I highly recommend this adventure.

AWESOME EXPERIENCE, this is a must if in Chiang mai. They are very safe, have you do an obstacle course with the tuk tuks, after that have auch a unique experience driving through remote areas with tuk tuk. The feeding and bathing with elephants is wild and so fun, and end it with river rafting

There is only in need of one Word fantastic!!!!
It was a great day from start to end. Super super guide!! Really fun day driving own Tuk Tuk!! And the elefants, they were so cute and had their own mindset due to they were allowed by the staff to actually be animals and not totally trained elefants. You as a turist you are there on their turms, and that is fantastic!!
At the end we were in bamboo rafting totally Nice Way to end the day..in warm water…what is not to like….nothing everything was just totally great!!!!

OA was a number 1 guide, my partner and I were lucky enough to have this tour to ourselves so the personal treatment was excellent. 30 minutes to learn the intricacies if the tuk tuk and away we go. Temples, elephants, lunch and rafting all while operating your own tuk tuk. Small group recommended excellent tour.

I must admit I was a bit apprehensive on this tour as I was not sure I’d be able to drive the Tuk Tuk – but worries soon fell to the side once I learned to shift with the left hand (Being from the US and shifting with the right). Oa was the tour guide we had and he was F U N! He laughed as I, along with others, stalled, ground the gears and skipped to the 4th when trying for the 3rd (as the shift is way smaller). After a quick training session we took to the back roads heading to a mountain temple, an elephant sanctuary and then log rafting down the river – the water was cold. The Tuk Tuk was the highlight of this tour and would like to see more adventure with this in furthering the days for treks and camping. Highly recommended!

The guides were great. The experiences or feeding the elephants and then just taking a journey with them through their daily routine was amazing. They are such beautiful animals and you can tell they are well taken care of. Learning how to drive a tuk tuk was fun, and bamboo rafting was great. I just wish we had a little more time with the rafting otherwise. Great experience.
Response from Host, Feb 2020
Many thanks for the lovely review and for having chosen to spend the day on our Tuk Tuk Adventure
I'm really sorry that the rafting is a little shorter at the moment - we've had a serious lack of rain up here and river levels are much lower than the norm.
Thanks again for travelling with us and for taking to time to leave a review.
Best wishes from all at The Tuk Tuk Club

Bruce and his team were amazing from the start. Great communication and so helpful in providing tips for Chiang Mai. The one day trip was well organized and our guides OA and Mr Big were so kind and fun. I wish we had more time . Driving the Tuk Tuk was a blast and my family loved the elephants the most. The multi day trip is now on my bucket list!

Mega toller Tag. Super Guids. War mit unter einer der besten Tagesausflüge die wir in zwei Wochen Thailand gemacht haben und wir haben einige gemacht. Habe es noch am selben Tag einer Freundin empfohlen die in ein paar Tagen nach Chiang Mai geht. Das absolute coolste ist, dass jeder eine eigene Trinkflasche bekommt, die er mit nach Hause nehmen darf.
