Udon Thani Taxi Service

[Sapillyder]

I called the phone numbers taken off the sign outside the limousine office in Udon Thani Airport but they seem to be no longer in service. I want to hire a taxi one way from the Airport to Kham Muang, Kalasin, next Monday. Anyone have any suggestions please?

I think it would be closer and easier to fly into Khon Kaen but...:

Thank you Maxjay, I'll drop them a line and let everyone know the result. Re K.K. the travel distance and time from Khon Kaen to Kham Muang is significantly longer than from Udon Thani, (I've driven it often), but would certainly be closer if I was going to Kalasin City itself.

Well I tried the e-mails and didn't get a reply so I called and both agents were very nice and helpful but neither had any leads on taxis or private car services. One referred me to a passenger van (Rot Dtoo) service company that could do the job but they wanted 1,800 baht for the day day plus petrol. Not bad for 24 hours with a driver on call but rather more than I was looking to pay for a 90 minute journey. I had in mind about 1,200 max.

But surely there's something out there for situations like this in a city the size of Udon - if not then some enterprising individual should think about buying the wife a second hand car and employing the out-of-work brother to drive it.

The clock's ticking and I still need to find a logistic solution or else it's the bus and three hours on a dusty road.

Is your arrival at Udorn relatively early in the day, say before noon? If so, just go out to the parking lot and ask most any pickup truck driver if he'll make the run for baht 1,200 plus fuel. Bet many would, or would call or wave down a friend.

I hear what you say about Udon airport being a better starting point, but if all else fails there is a taxi service from Khon Kaen airport. You book at the desk in arrivals. I paid about 900 baht for a saloon for a trip of about 65km (one way distance). A van is about 1200 baht. Of course the downside is that Air Asia to Udon is a lot cheaper than Thai air to KK.

Yes, there is Taxis service, but is on the expense side, you might be better off renting a car/or car and driver. Lek car rental (042 242 587) or 086 0593028 may be a good place to check out. You might also want to go to this web site: www.udonmap.com There are many major hotels on this site offering Taxis service/rental service/pick up and return to airport etc etc, for a HEFTY FEE for sure. Good Luck hope you have a great/safe trip.

Reliable

approx 300B to airport depending where you leave from to give you some idea of price; but am sure you could negotiate a price with them

Recently spent a week in Udon, used taxi's often, good and reliable.

The phone-in service also good, adds 30B to the meter fare.

When in town, the best pick-up point was the main bus station near Central...............Ignore the dirty looks from the Tuk Tuk brigade!
