Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai day tours

Our day tours start from Chiang Mai or Chiang Rai. We will meet you at your hotel and drop you off there. Unless stated otherwise, we will pick you up at 0800. Usually, our excursions finish at around 1700 unless stated otherwise. All our day trips are private, so our guide and driver are at your service. We can customize all our trips. If you want to skip something in the itinerary, just let them know. If you want to add something, please tell them.

Customization of our day trips

We have designed our tours so that you won’t spend more than four hours in a vehicle on the day. We don’t recommend the day trips to the Golden Triangle starting from Chiang Mai and ending there. It is just too much driving. We leave the final decision to you, though. All our tours can be customized, of course.

Our sister website Chiang Mai a la Carte also offers a wide array of day trips starting from Chiang Mai or Chiang Rai. In general, these trips are more focused on culture and history and are less adventurous than the tours of Green Trails.

Chiang Mai on Three Wheels offers half-day and full-day tours. If you are looking for an elephant day trip, the Tong Bai Elephant Tour is perfect. This tour is only on Wednesday and Saturday.
