BFD Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 Hi there friends and neighbours, I'm hoping to rent a van and hire a driver to go from Bangkok to Chiangmai on about April 12th or so. I have four Canadian friends coming in earlier in the week, and I think it would be a fun way to show them a bit of the breathtaking countryside while getting drunk in a van. I am talking about a one-way trip, if possible; we'd probably fly or take the train back to BKK. Anyone know any options? Thanks, BFD! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ask any Thai travelagent I would think around 3000,- baht/day + diesel. cheers onzestan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope you know what that means for road travel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFD Posted March 20, 2008 Author Share Posted March 20, 2008 Yeah, I realize the timing is not ideal. We'd be whooping it up with drinks etc in the van, so I think we could keep ourselves entertained. All of this is very last-minute, so anything that can be done will do. Please keep the suggestions coming, folks . BFD! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFD Posted March 25, 2008 Author Share Posted March 25, 2008 Just wanted to bump this. I felt sure that there would be more people who would have advice on neat ways to get to Chiangmai... After all, you're such knowledgeable folks! BFD! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After all, you're such knowledgeable folks! BFD! Hi "BFD", As mentioned by "Tung_Thaid" it is the height of Songkran, so finding a Driver would be a problem as most wish to be with their families. I would recommend flying there for Songkran and then taking a minibus back to Bangers and Mash after the Thai New Year, as the roads will be full of craziness during this time of the year. Good luck and stay safe and sound. Yours truly, Kan Win P.S. This will be me 17th Songkran, so I should know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big A Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 (edited) There'll be carnage on the roads. It really doesn't matter what state you are in in the back of the van if some liquored-up arsehol_e comes ploughing into you. Better off driving to Pattaya, less chances of a smash for a much shorter distance. Be dam_n careful!! Edited March 25, 2008 by Big A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
