smig Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 (edited) Hi, I will start by saying that I'm not very good with computers so please don't shoot me down for not finding my answers through the search. Not got a clue how to go about that lol. I'm looking to hire a minibus from the Jomtien/ Pattaya area so I can bring the in-laws down for a week, then maybe hire again to take back. I wonder if anyone could recommend a reputable company who have good vehicles and all the appropriate insurance cover etc? Many thanks in advance.

NCC1701A Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 not sure that is legal for you to drive that many people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KittenKong Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 Probably simpler and cheaper to hire a bus and driver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the legality would depend on the type of licence plate the vehicle has. A car with a regular licence plate can be driven by a farang but I think the minibuses I have seen have a different type of plate and to drive one would probably require a professional licence (which a farang probably wouldnt get). It would probably require a work permit also. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Driving_licence_in_Thailand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johng Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 I doubt the minibus owner would rent out their (expensive) vehicle to someone they dont know...normally they insist that they drive it....then as mentioned the registration plate issue...l believe its yellow for "taxis" green for "companies" vehicles and white for "private" vehicles...not sure if you need a "special" licence to drive yellow plates.

A "personal car" Thai driving license is valid for up to 7 persons in vehicle. I also doubt very much that they rent minivans etc. to holders of such license. Yellow plates: these are registered as "commercial truck" (I think it's possible instead of blue/white which are usual for minivans). No way that it would be legal to drive a "yellow plate" with a personal car license. Edited December 31, 2018 by KhunBENQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
