Chiang Mai Tours - a variety
of tours in Chiang Mai and around Northern Thailand.
Welcome
to Wayfarers Travel - Chiang Mai Tours. We have more than 20
years experience in organising and guiding tours in and around
Chiang Mai, Northern Thailand. We are a TAT registered tour company
based in Chiang Mai and licensed
to organise tours and trekking throughout the whole of Thailand.
This season we
have made a special effort to include extra tour itineraries so that
we cover all the popular areas and activities around Chiang Mai. As always, our one day tours
from Chiang Mai, are
very popular and we have added some extra itineraries so there's
something for everyone.
Please note all
our tours are private trips. "Private" meaning that if you book
as a group of two you will trek as a group of two. If you book
as a group of six you will trek as a group of six. This enables
us to guarantee itineraries and departure dates. There is no
risk of getting to Chiang Mai to find the trip has been
cancelled because there are not enough people to form a group.
If you would like
further information or if there is something you can't find on
