As far as I'm aware, Immigration offer three classes of transportation namely:-

 

Economy Class

 

Business Class

 

VIP Class (Free internet provided)

Not sure if they have meters fitted, but even if they do you can bet your bottom dollar they wont be working so price will be negotiable.

 

Sorry I just could not resist.  To be honest, I have no idea if they charge for transport but as you said there is possibly some hidden cost.  I will ask my wife's friend the next time we meet.

Yes, they take a charge for transportation. From Trat to Bangkok I would take a guess on about 2k baht.

That would barely cover the fuel cost.

Maybe they do it in the same way as some forms of public transport - you'll have to wait until the truck is full. So depending on how many others they catch who need to be transported to Bangkok, it could take a while. ????

Think at it like this. Do they pay the fuel with their pocket money? Answer: NOooo!

Number two: Hey, how would it be if we tell this guy that the transportation need to be payed by him, and not by the government? Yeah, that´s a great idea! What should we say? 2000? One for you and one for me? Ok, sounds good. Done deal!
