ABOUT US
At Bandzlam, we believe travel isn’t just about visiting places. It’s about living meaningful moments, building genuine connections, and finding beauty in simplicity.
Founded in Chiang Mai by Manow, a traveler, nature lover, and storyteller. Bandzlam was created to share journeys that feel authentic, personal, and real. From hiking mountain trails and learning traditions with villagers, to uncovering hidden corners of the city, every tour is designed with heart and care.
Our mission is simple: to create travel experiences that go beyond the ordinary. We value authenticity, sustainability, and joy, bringing people closer to nature, culture, and one another. Whether you’re seeking adventure, cultural immersion, or a peaceful escape, our hope is that you’ll feel at home, inspired, and part of something truly special.
Bandzlam was born from a dream of freedom, a passion for travel, nature, and storytelling. Every journey we take together is a piece of that dream, and we invite you to be part of it.
Come curious. Leave connected.
Warmly,
Manow
Founder of Bandzlam
