Gimbo Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 (edited) Grandma in Buriram is getting frail, and due to covid we have not been in Thailand for 4 years as we where set to go when international travel simply closed down. Time to get the family home. It may be the last chance for my wife and the grandchildren to see her. On all previous trips we rented a car from Bangkok to get up there. But this time the wife insist on flying from Bangkok to Satuek. So we need to rent the car from there. I cant find anything online, but thought there might be someone in here that can clue me in? Wheels down planned fro mid july. Edited April 11, 2022 by Gimbo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post KhunBENQ Posted April 11, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted April 11, 2022 (edited) The topic title is a bit unfavorable. Sure the airport is quite away from Buriram city in Satuek district but of course referred to as Buriram Airport ( code: BFV). Even Avis shows some booking site for that: https://www.avis.com/en/locations/th/buriram/bfv Another option might be taking transport to the city and find something there?

Anyone in a position to offer advice would be more than familiar with Satuek. The title of this thread is not an issue. Neither is Buriram a city. To the OP, there is car rental at the airport. If there happens to be nothing available when you arrive, it will be easy to get minibus transport into town. Have a Google of the local forum in Buriram for expats. The owner of that site has a car rental business. They are close to the bus station. Edited April 11, 2022 by youreavinalaff 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fulhamster Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 As Satuek is fairly remote, it may be easier to get transport into Satuek (about 15 minutes) then get a bus to Buriram, Should be far more options there for car rental. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fceligoj Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 Why don't you check Google Maps for Buri Ram Airport. I just did and there is at least one Car Rental place there called CarPluz. They even have a website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most buses to Buriram don't stop for the airport In order to get a bus into Sateuk, you would need to walk to the main road. There you will notice buses going to Buriram, obviously. Minibus transport is available at the airport, as I mentioned in my previous post. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In addition CarPluz, ThaiRent-a-car and VIP Car Rental all had booths at the airport. I believe Avis and CarPluz are still active. In addition BuriramExpats used to have a bookable transfer for all points within the province. Google them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gimbo Posted July 4, 2022 Author Share Posted July 4, 2022 Life happened and I forgot about this, sorry about that. Anyway, we are not going to Buriram city, as my wife is from a Village near Satuek, so we are staying in that area, and will use that as base for traveling around some. But we have had a change of plans. Her brother just bought a new Double cab- Pick-up , and will lend us that one, as he has a smaller car he uses for commuting to work. So instead of flying up to Satuek, we'll stay a couple of nights with her brother in Chon Buri, get rested from the flight, and relax on the beach and let the kids meet their cousins, and then drive up to the Satuek area, like we did often when we lived up there back when we got married 15 years ago. And we'll torture the kids with stories about that on the way, lol. Is a a fine for "Driving while farang" still a thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
