Niloc Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 I am meeting four people at the new airport next Monday. Is there a strict limit on the number of people allowed in a cab and is it enforced? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jumnien Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 If you have a lot of luggage you might consider one of the toyota VIP vans which cost 1100 baht into town including toll. The trunks on the taxis are awfully small for luggage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopburi3 Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 Unless you are the only one with baggage I would not even consider it. Thai taxi have LPG tanks in trunk so even smaller than normal. Either take two taxi or a van would be my advise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h90 Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 I am meeting four people at the new airport next Monday. Is there a strict limit on the number of people allowed in a cab and is it enforced? the limit is the volume of the people and how much you can squeeze them together.

gpt Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 Phone a taxi company the day before and pre-book a 7 seater Thai Rung taxi or Toyota Innova. Tell them what you will be wearing and give them a code word (to stop anyone else pinching 'your' taxi) and also which exit you will be waiting at. Some companies use the 7 seat Suzuki APV but I don't recommend them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either take two taxi or a van would be my advise. I agree that luggage is the real limiting factor. We just go up to the official taxi stand at the airport and tell them how many people we have and show them what we have in luggage and they either get us a regular taxi, the slightly larger taxi, or they point us to the minivans. It has always been a very quick and simple procedure for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbowman1993 Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 How many in a taxi? If you are a bunch of fat ass yanks or euro's - 3 If you are a bunch of skinny thai students - 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
