Hal65 Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 I'm used to taking the 200 baht "limo service" (shuttle van) to the Nong Khai border but this time will go to central plaza in Udon Thani instead. Are there mototaxis outside? I'd guess fare to be around 100 to 150 for one person to Central Plaza? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KhunBENQ Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 I drive to Udon on a regular basis and I can hardly remember having seen a motorbike taxi at all. If they exist they must be rare. Absolutely never seen at Central. Some three months ago I paid the airport a visit and also can't remember having seen motorbike taxis. Regular taxi is the way to go (should do it within the price you mentioned). On the net you can read that there are minivans from airport to the city. But can't say from own experience.

Hal65 Posted August 17, 2019 Author Share Posted August 17, 2019 I was there a year ago and remember moto taxis outside central plaza. But given the curb space they did appear a niche market compared to the tuks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ54 Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 There’s a shuttle type bus you can catch at airport ask at the information counter. Or if staying at a hotel ask if they have service. No motorbike service I know of or seen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mackayae Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 Yes the new City Bus stops at the airport every 20 minutes. 20 baht. Aircon. Stops at Central Plaza, but you can exit anywhere on route. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any chance you know the bus number in both directions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the minibus to central plaza ticket bought at the same counter as the 200 thb ticket to the border? I assume the driver understands "Centran" as Central Plaza (that's what they call Central Festival)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tabarin Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 120B for a tuk tuk at the parking area (tuk tuks in UTH are nice), 140-150B for grab. Border deal Grab 600B (book to a near by location and then negotiate to Nongkhai in cash). Minivans and Airport taxi's are a rip off, they even let you wait for 1-2 hours if it is quiet, also relatively easy to find someone to share the Grab with you..

Not sure where u buy tickets to the border but for the minibus drop off service it is the counter just to the right (inside) of the door as you exit. Yes 'Centran'...lol! Ive never discovered why the Thais change 'L' to 'N' at the end of words. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is in their own language by the way, so if the word ends with R (ro ruea to them) it changes to N! l ---> n r ---> n y ---> n ch ---> t j ---> t d ---> t s ---> t b ---> p f ---> p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
