Be aware that if renting a 4x4 the insurance is unlikely to cover off road use.

I have got that covered. I'm only interested in going off road.

What is the need for a 4x4?  All wheel drive vehicles do exist here.  They do not rent Jeeps at the Luxury Car rental places

a Fortuner will work but the price is

Mostt of the rental Fortuners appear to be 2wd.

There's no 'real' 4x4 on the rental fleets that will be up for the 'off road' that I reckon the OP plans on doing.

 

They will come with those AT 'all terrain' tires that will only get you into trouble in the least challenging mud and gravel. At best they are for the recreational cross-country sort, popping into town to pick up some foie gras from Villa.

 

At least that's all the 4 x 4 Vigo I got from Budget in Chiang Mai was good for.

I've found a tour company now in Chiang Mai.

I also have contacted my old 4x4 specialist. The problem being if they rent me a vehicle, it will be massively expensive.

As for tyres - well there are AT tyres and there are AT tyres - I suspect the normal run-of-the-mill rental companies won't fit much in the way of grip. That' why I was looking for a specialist 4x4 rental company.

there used to be a place within walking distance of the East Gate at CM that rented 4x4.

They did not have any when i wanted one, but plenty of prior advertising & lots of pic on the  walls of mainly Suzuki set up for off road use (ie MT and lift to suit)

Also used to be a place in Kanchanaburi area that did proper organised off road trips (fully kitted hilux).   Ran by a pom from what i could make out.  Ive lost the details, sorry
