Our experienced group of local tour-guides
Daro tours is founded by Damrong Katu in 2018. "I started as a tour operator, not only because we love Northern Thailand and its beautiful nature, but also to connect you with our local communities and nature in an authentic way." Daro tours is working together with local tour guides and people from hill-tribe villages in Northern Thailand.
This way you support tourism in regions with not many paid jobs when you book a tour with us.
​
Our team is made up of well-experienced, English-speaking guides who are certified by the
Tourism Authority of Thailand with a TAT license.
All profits raised by Daro Tours remain in our local communities.
