Chanakan Chayut-Akkharaphakorn

​I am a top-performing tour guide and travel consultant with over 25 years of experience in the luxury travel industry. Based in Chiang Mai, Thailand, I specialize in immersive tours throughout northern Thailand and Laos. I am highly skilled at creating customized itineraries that perfectly fit my clients' specific needs, abilities, and budgets, while securing the best arrangements for a seamless trip. I am deeply passionate about providing informative and engaging tours that leave travelers with a truly memorable experience. I always listen closely to your preferences and utilize technology to efficiently plan and manage every detail of your journey, ensuring exceptional customer service from start to finish. ​In addition to my traditional tourism background, my guiding values are heavily shaped by unique experiences working with non-profit organizations to develop sustainable tourism initiatives in rural Laos, as well as volunteering my time to lead tours of refugee camps in Thailand. These invaluable experiences have taught me the profound importance of responsible tourism and the need to ensure that travel positively impacts and benefits local communities. ​I am eager to share my knowledge, regional expertise, and passion for travel with you to create an exceptional, sustainable, and unforgettable adventure.
