Hello! I’m Richard — a licensed private guide and lifelong Chiang Mai local who has called this city home for nearly 50 years. I’m passionate about helping travelers discover the real Chiang Mai: its rich culture, flavorful cuisine, lush nature, and the warmth of its people.
With my own private vehicle, I offer comfortable, flexible tours that are fully personalized to your interests — whether that means visiting sacred temples, meeting rescued elephants, or diving into the city’s vibrant street food scene. As a self-proclaimed foodie and history enthusiast, I love sharing both hidden gems and meaningful stories that bring this city to life.
What truly sets me apart? I don't believe in rushed schedules, tourist traps, or commission-based stops. My tours are designed around **you** — no fixed routes, no shopping detours, just genuine experiences. Whether you're looking for a peaceful escape into nature, a deep cultural dive, or a little bit of everything, I’ll tailor the perfect day just for you.
Let me show you Chiang Mai the way only a local — and a friend — can. I look forward to exploring this incredible city with you!
