Amazing private guide in Chiang Mai. Very knowledgeable and professional with many thoughtful and meaningful touches 🙂 We will certainly hire Jack again the next time when we visit Chiang Mai.

  An absolutely fantastic day out - we have been in Thailand for 6 months and this was by far our best trip!!!!

  Jack is an amazing tour guide and we enjoyed our time immensely. He’s very knowledgeable and speaks perfect English. We will definitely be using his service on future trips.

  We spent two fabulous days with Jack during our visit to Chiang Mai. If you are looking for a guide or driver, look no further...hire Jack. He is... read more an absolute gem.
For our first day, we drove the couple of hours to Doi Inthanon in Jack's super-comfortable and spacious van. We hiked in the beautiful park with a local guide for a couple of hours, and visited the King and Queen pagodas. We also went to a beautiful waterfall. Perhaps the highlight of the day, though, was the lunch we had with Jack's friend Mr Charlie and his wife. They graciously welcomed us into their beautiful bamboo home in a small hill village, and made us lunch from delicious fresh vegetables picked that morning from the farm where they grow crops for The Royal Project. They were such lovely people and it was an incredible experience...do not miss this if you have the opportunity.
The second day Jack picked us up early to drive to Doi Suthep before sunrise. I highly recommend this. The temple is beautiful in daylight, but simply breathtaking before dawn. It is still pretty quiet there at that time of day, and watching the sun come up over the city was lovely. We then visited two other lovely temples (Wat Phalat and Wat Umong) before wrapping up with delicious Khao Soi at a local restaurant. Try not to eat anything for breakfast and hold out for this delicious (and filling) meal.
Jack is patient, relaxedand flexible. He has a great smile and an infectious laugh. When we return to Chiang Mai we won't hesitate to book more time with him. Sabai sabai Jack...until next time!

  Jack is the kindest and warmest person we could have ever asked for as a guide. After experiencing other private tours, his was by far the one I liked the... read more most. He created a tour based on our needs. For two days we visited Sukhotai, had some wonderful temple tops on the way and even managed to visit Sanchanalai before heading to the airport the day after.

If you are looking for an adaptable and understanding your guide, this is your place. We went to see the sites we were interested in, and got to eat amazing food based on his recommendations (local Thai food, not westernised versions). On top of that, he was kind enough to take pictures of us with our phones and his camera.

Overall, these two days were a memorable experience making a new friend who I would wholeheartedly recommend for anyone looking for a knowledgeable guide, with great humour and very kind human nature.

  Jack is very professional and experienced. What made him excellent is his ability to gather information on what you want and provide you with the best options. His understanding of... read more traffic patterns, and other variables gave him the insight to provide great suggestions, which I'm glad we followed because he was right about the best food, coffee, and views and historical sites that had the least amount of crowded tourists. We also got to see the only elephant hospital! So cool!

Jack also has an exclusive relationship with a specific hill tribe that only allows his guests to visit as if they are family. We stayed in a very clean and bamboo home, picked fresh vegetables and cooked them with our hosts and enjoyed a hot shower in the jungle. Wow. What a way to unplug and enjoy the peaceful nature!

  Jack was recommended to us by friends. We booked a 2 day private tour, we visited Doi Suthep, Bua Tong Sticky waterfalls which are both amazing, climbing the waterfall... read more was a task in itself but glad we did it. Jack took us to Doi Inthanon National Park where we went trekking with Mr Charlie, we also visited a hillside tribe where my husband ground the coffee beans, one of the ladies was weaving scarfs, purchased several. Jack is so knowledgeable on the history and culture and gave us so much information on the Thai people and Buddhism. Jack has a big heart and has a wonderful sense of humour, nothing was too much trouble, we never felt rushed and would have no hesitation in booking with him again. Jack gave us recommendations where to eat, places to visit once we had finished our tour with him. During the 2 day tour Jack became our friend rather than tour guide.

  We hired Jack in early January for a day-trip to the Doi Inthanon National Park. We visited the Wachirathan Waterfall, had a coffee with a coffee farmer in a small... read more village ... and a lot of fun. Jack is a very likable guy, who takes good care of his clients. He speaks English very well, knew a lot about the places we visited and told us many interesting things about life in Thailand. Strong recommendation!!!

  We went on a tour with Jack to Doi Inthanon, stopping at a couple of beautiful places a long the way.

Jack is very friendly and it was... read more so much fun to converse with him about this and that while learning many things about the area and the places we would visit.

His car is super comfortable and he is a considerate driver, making us feel safe throughout the whole trip.

Overall we had a fantastic day - thank you Jack!

  Book Jack.
Our family of 4 from Australia have just spent a great couple of days with Jack.
Lucky for us he was available, post Covid tourism is only just... read more picking up speed.
He is a lovely guy, good guide, safe driver, great vehicle and ammenities.
We at the last minute added on elephant (living green elephant sanctuary) tour which he was able to accommodate and combine our preferences at short notice, customising other details to suit us along the way.
We discussed our plans via email first and he was able to recommend and essentially play-it-by-ear on the day.

  We did a 3 hour private city walking tour with Jack in Chiang Mai.
It was an excellent and very informative tour and we would highly recommend Jack as... read more your personal guide.
From the outset he offered advice on what to wear, where to meet and places to visit.
Even suggested places to visit ourselves after the tour. Great value for money. Forget the companies that advertise on internet and contact Jack.

  We (me and my wife) definitely enjoyed our half day tour with our tour guide Jack.
The arrangement in advance was smooth, Jack suggested some key locations by email, which... read more we finally agreed on.
Jack speaks english quite well (which I cannot say about some other Thai guides).
On a tour he showed us very nice places, and also flexibly recommended some other ones, which he thought would be suitable for us. We liked them very much.
We started at 5:30 going to Doi Suthep to experience beautiful sunrise. Our tour lasted totally cca 6 hours. There was no rush on time and we felt that Jack is fully present with us. It was great that we got some background information about the temples, Thailand and it's people, buddhism, we also talked about our personal lives. I feel I would have enjoyed talking to Jack for few more days :).
Jack is an open, warm-hearted man who smiles a lot and is apparently loving his work, which he does with passion. For us, it was a refreshment after dissapointment with our guide from our tour previous day.
It was great that Jack took his own camera for photographs, and he also used our mobiles, so we have a lot of nice photos from the tour.
If I had to mention some downside, it would be that on the tour there wasn't much time just to be and enjoy the atmosphere of the places without speaking (what me and my wife enjoy doing). But to be honest, that most likely isn't our guide's fault, as we told Jack at the beginning that we would like to know a lot of interesting information, and we wanted only a half-day tour and had a lot of places to see. Nevertheless, after the first half of the tour Jack probably felt this and gave us time alone at a nice place, which was a great highlight for us.
Overall, we recommend Jack as a tour guide, and if we happen to come to Chiang Mai again in the future, we will gladly use his services.
