i would like to rent a car (camry, e class, 5 series, even a nice minibus etc) and a driver for a day trip to Bangkok

about 9am to 6pm should do the trick

no running about in the capital only 2 stops and home again

too lazy to drive myself, parking, high blood pressure, etc etc

does anyone have any recommendations ?

Limo Pattaya will fulfill your requirements at a reasonable price. Good safe drivers who speak English.

From their website:

Shopping Spree

Let our drivers handle the parking hassles and allow yourself to indulge in a shopping spree at Pattaya or Bangkok. No more worries about struggling with too many bags around. Just leave them to our chauffeur who will take care of the rest while you continue your shopping!

Have used them before . Quiet satisfied with the service.

I've used Mr. T a couple of times going to the Airport. Very satisfied. I'm sure his drivers will take you anywhere. Soi Dianna Inn Office phone 038 720318, mobile 012587716
