Doi Inthanon Private Tour

A private day to Doi Inthanon comes in two kinds: a guide with the fees paid, or a car and driver who take you round while you read about the stops yourself. For the first, TripGuru Thailand’s Chiang Mai: Doi Inthanon, Twin Pagodas & Waterfalls Day Tour sells a private option alongside its group ones (the booking box says from US$38, the group price; checked November 2026): hotel pickup at 7:00 AM, an English-speaking guide, the park and pagoda fees included, US$231.91 for one adult on 28 November and 15 December 2026 and US$234.90 on 24 March 2027.

In the calendar, pick “Private Tour – Hotel Pickup – Entrance Fees Included”. We read the price for one adult only; the calendar shows the price for your party.

Three private days compared

GetYourGuide checked November 2026; Viator checked November 2026. We did not read prices for two or more on any of the three.

A guide and the fees paid

TripGuru Thailand’s private option is its group day for your party alone: Mae Klang Waterfall, the summit, the Ang Ka boardwalk, the twin pagodas, lunch at a hillside restaurant (paid by you), the Karen village of Ban Mae Klang Luang and Wachirathan Waterfall. It starts earlier than the group options, at 7:00 AM, and includes the fees. The small-group options end at Central Chiang Mai Airport; the private option is sold with hotel pickup, and its drop-off is not described separately.

Pagoda View Tours' private day on Viator adds a hike and lunch to the summit, the twin pagodas, a waterfall and a hill-village coffee, with a local guide, a private minivan and the park and pagoda fees included. It is from US$144 a person (checked November 2026); the price a head depends on how many of you there are.

Check the private option

A car and driver

Chiang Mai Private Tour's day is the cheaper private way up for one person: a car and an English-speaking driver for 8 hours, hotel transfer in Chiang Mai, the summit, the twin pagodas, lunch at the Royal Agricultural Station Inthanon and 40 minutes at Wachirathan Waterfall, with no hiking. The driver is not a guide; an English e-book covers the stops. The park fee (300 baht an adult, 150 a child), the pagoda ticket (100 and 50 baht) and a 20-baht entry to the station’s restaurant are extra. On 20 January 2027 it cost US$149.62 for one adult; 26 November 2026 was not on sale.

Who it suits

A private day suits a family with children who need stops on their own schedule, a couple who want the pagodas without a van of strangers, or anyone who wants to end the day at the hotel. If you are travelling alone, the group days cost a fraction of these prices: TripGuru Thailand’s meeting-point option without fees was US$38.66 to US$47.88 on the dates we read.
