The Team
The Team
The guides, support crew and those working hard behind the scenes are all integral to what makes The Tuk Tuk Club very special. All of us are in love with Northern Thailand, Tuk Tuks and making sure you have the best travel experience of your life.
Managing Director - TOM haxton
Growing up between Thailand and the UK, and having been dragged all over the world by his parents as a child it's perhaps not surprising that Tom has ended up following them into the world of travel. He cut his teeth working for one of Thailand's top DMC's and then joined The Tuk Tuk Club, learning every aspect of the business from the ground up. After showing his talents running the Sales and Marketing side of the business he is now the Managing Director, focussed on ensuring that The Tuk Tuk Club continues to deliver amazing adventures throughout Northern Thailand. It should also be noted that, just like his father, he's a huge Leeds United fan, but don't hold that against him!
Founders – Tik and Bruce Haxton
After years running various adventure travel businesses Bruce founded The Tuk Tuk Club, with the steadying guidance of his wife Tik, to help others see the very best of Thailand. After driving thousands of kilometres around the mountains in a borrowed Bangkok Tuk Tuk (that’s a whole other story) they knew that exploring the mountains of Northern Thailand in one of these iconic vehicles was the best way to experience Thailand to the full. Committed for years to helping travellers experience the laid back, charming Thailand that people fell in love with 30 years ago, Bruce and Tik are obsessed with making sure every traveller gets to see the ‘real’ Thailand – a place bursting at the seams with amazing scenery, fascinating culture, incredible food and warm welcoming people. And to make this a truly family business, Tik and Bruce's son, Tom, is the Managing Director and their youngest daughter, Katy, recently joined the Support Team enjoying working with the Guides on our adventures
The Operations Team
The unsung heroes of The Tuk Tuk Club. Our Operations team, led by Khun Yaya, are the people that make sure everything happens as it should. From minivan transfers and making sure the best food on the planet is ready to helping us secure the best rooms for our travellers, this team are true experts at what they do. Hugely experienced in the travel industry and totally obsessed with making sure travellers get to experience their homeland properly, the wheels of The Tuk Tuk Club operate smoothly thanks to their dedication, knowledge and ability to find a solution to anything that arises. Every single one of them is an expert Tuk Tuk driver enjoying nothing more than heading up into the mountains to explore new villages, Temples and communities.
Maintenance manager - oa
What OA doesn't know about engines and Tuk Tuks really isn't worth knowing! With a strong background in pretty much every sort of vehicle OA and his team do a incredible job of making sure that the Tuk Tuks are in good shape and ready for the adventures ahead. Definitely one of the unsung hero's of The Tuk Tuk Club OA is one of the original members of The Tuk Tuk Club and you might also be lucky enough to meet him on an adventure - not only is he an engine genius but he's also an awesome Tour Guide. And when he's not working he likes nothing more than heading off for adventures on one of his collection of motorbikes!
