A day in a life of a tuk tuk driver – this is a unique experience for everyone who wants to explore the pristine northern Thai countryside a bit differently
“Get ready for a wild ride through the Mae Wang countryside on your very own tuk tuk! Our expert instructors will give you the skills you need to become a confident and capable tuk tuk driver, and then it’s time to hit the open road. We’ll take in the sights and sounds of the countryside, stopping at a weaving center to learn about traditional techniques and even create our own woven masterpieces. But the best part? (ADD ON) A visit to an elephant sanctuary where we’ll get to feed and bathe these gentle giants. It’s a day of thrills, skills, and unforgettable memories – don’t miss out!”
