Bluebell Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 What's the going rate (outside Bangkok) per Km for staff who use their own vehicle for company business? We are currently using a set figure for short journeys depending on distance but occasionally staff have to travel to other provinces and we need to set a fair mileage allowance. Any advice appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuban Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 I remember this being in a thread within the past six months or so - before recent price increases I think 3-4 baht per Km was mentioned. The other issue was insurance and the impact of any accident that occured during driving on company business in private vehicles - wise to resolve the question in your staff's mind before it is tested with a real life example.

VocalNeal Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 If it helps. BKK taxi 2-12kms 4 baht 12-20kms 5.5 baht over 20kms 6.5 baht. Of course they are making money on the deal but there again they run on LPG which is a third of the cost. Years ago in Canada we used to get 22c / km which is coincedentally 6.6 baht/km. That was when gas was equivalent to 16.5 baht/l. You may be better off to pay a fixed monthly "bonus" and reimburse the fuel at cost. Depending on their regular duties a road trip is not sitting behind a desk so they may be willing to suffer a little. I pay my salesman 10,000 per month for the use of his car. But that lowers his salary so if I have to dismiss him I am not liable for so much severance pay. It is all swings and roundabouts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
