Self-drive a tuk tuk in Thailand’s rural north

Diethelm Travel Group has launched the industry’s first tuk tuk self-drive tours to discover the rural outskirts of Chiang Mai.

The one-day Northern Thailand Self-Drive Tuk Tuk Adventure programme takes travellers on the three-seater rickshaws through the heart of northern Thailand’s jungle-covered hills and rice fields, with stops in rural villages and an ethical elephant sanctuary, a traditional Thai lunch and bamboo river rafting.

In addition to visiting the elephants and driving around the outskirts of Chiang Mai, the five-day Northern Thailand Self-Drive Tuk Tuk Adventure experience also takes travellers up to the top of Doi Inthanon, Thailand’s highest peak, with overnights in homestays and a day spent trekking.

The 11-day Northern Thailand Self-Drive Tuk Tuk Adventure itinerary builds on the five-day option by giving travellers more opportunities to drive through the mountainous north, plus plenty of time to explore at leisure, lounge by hotel pools and spend time in the town of Pai.

Drivers are required to be 18 years old or older and hold a valid manual driving licence from their home country, as well as attend a safety briefing and tuk tuk driving lesson.
