👋 Meet Richard — Your Private Local Guide in Chiang Mai

Hi! I’m Richard, a fully licensed private tour guide and a proud Chiang Mai local. I’ve spent nearly 50 years living, exploring, and falling in love with this city and its surrounding nature, culture, and people. In 2013, I founded Richard’s Chiang Mai Tours with a simple mission:

   - To share the real Chiang Mai with curious travelers — not just the places, but the stories behind them.

​

🌟 What Makes My Tours Special?

Forget the tourist traps. Forget rushing from place to place with strangers.
When you travel with me, you’re not just booking a tour — you’re booking an experience that’s:

• 🧭 Fully Private & Customizable
  Just you (and your travel group), going where you want, at the pace you enjoy.

• 📚 Rich in Stories & Local Knowledge
  I don’t just drop you off — I share history, culture, and real-life perspectives along the way.

• 🍜 Full of Authentic Moments
  From village visits to local markets, hilltribe coffee to hidden waterfalls — these are things you won’t find on big group tours.

• 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Perfect for Families, Couples & Friends
  Whether it’s your first trip or your fifth, I’ll help tailor a day (or week!) that fits you perfectly.

🌿 Beyond Sightseeing — Real Travel
