Taxis, Uber, for-hire transportation in Phayao

[Donnythecat]

Does anyone know of any cab service, car service, Uber, Grab etc that exists in Phayao? I haven't seen Uber or Grab here nor have I seen taxi's. 

 

I imagine it's possible to go to the bus station and hire a samlor or songthaew for the day but if I need someone in a pinch, say for example if I've had a few too many at the pub or I need an early morning ride to the airport with my luggage, does anyone know of any numbers to call? 

 

Thanks in advance!

I have lived near Phayao full time for the last 6 years. There are no taxis or Uber except for motor cycle taxis that have  a side carriage attached. These only run in daylight hours. 

In all villages you will find a local who will transport you to where you want to go. They use their private car and charge you a set fee. The closet airport is Chiang Rai and the minimum cost of Airport taxis is 1200 baht. The locals from Phayao will charge a little less once you get to know them.

I hope this helps

Thanks for your response ripstanley, I appreciate it. What a bummer! I guess there are just not that many options around here. Good to know in any case, thanks again
