scorpio1945 Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 There's definitely no taxi rank in the airport.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harrry Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 There's definitely no taxi rank in the airport.? Not for the metered taxis. You can either phone them and they pick up at the gate or walk to the gate and see them parked opposite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bifftastic Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 I found a meter taxi in a petrol station as I was on my way to the airport from Chiang Saen (intending to go to the bus station first) in one of the mini vans that goes to and from the old bus station (this was in May 2013). He told me that it would be ฿600 to Chiang Saen (฿10 per km) and gave me his number so I could call ahead from Bangkok 0827607890 It seems from what others have posted that they wait outside the airport, but if you're arriving late, might be worth a call. Glad to see meter taxis in Chiang Rai! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamMunich Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 There's definitely no taxi rank in the airport. _________________________________________ I just was flying in early last week (middle of Feb 2014) and there was even at nighttime a number of meter taxis waiting outside the airport building. I paid 110 + 40 Baht together. The taxi from the counter inside the buidling was charging 300 Baht.The meter taxis were waiting exact opposite the exit of the building... Another question for me is, why there is no public transport system in Chiang Rai. The size of the town would justify it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jb5music Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 These fares accurately reflect the distance of the 3 legs of the journey? 700B to fly to Chiang Rai - 300B for the counter taxi to the old bus station - 50B for the mini van right back past the airport and the rest of the 9/10ths of the way to Mae Sai? Great. Does anybody ever walk the 1.6 miles out to the 1? You can see a Farang on Street View with a backpack. Looks like he walked from the airport all the way to the 1 and then heading back toward Chiang Rai- He's just approaching Makro on the East side.

sceadugenga Posted March 10, 2014 Author Share Posted March 10, 2014 Well I was out there today, the hire cars appear to have gone and this was open. The taxi lady sounds intriguing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drakulich Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 Fact of the matter is that the taxis at the airport charge over twice the price of a normal taxi. Walk out of the airport and across the street and there will be half a dozen taxis waiting to take you into town for 120 Baht instead of the 300 the airport charges.

orchis Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 You do not have to walk outside the airport anymore, the meter taxis now stand in the parking lot. 30 thb supplement and then normal prices (10 thb/km out of town). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sceadugenga Posted March 15, 2014 Author Share Posted March 15, 2014 As is clearly states on the board inside the office. I meant the cars that can be hired with driver no longer have a booth in their usual spot. The rental vehicles are still available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CP3 Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 Those metered taxis are now inside the airport compound. Just need to pay 30THB airport charge additional. Just notice, the taxi has factored in the return leg for them in the charges. Booked a taxi from mae sai back to CR airport and the charge is the same.

But today I flied and they weren't there and had to take one that just dropped off passenger. Seems they are pretty busy at the airport. The last time I took one I had to wait for one to arrive but the wait was less than five minutes. If you're among the first out of baggage claim you likely won't have to wait at all though.

HeyNow Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 Can anyone tell me if the larger, Toyota Innova minivan taxis are also available curbside at the airport? I have a group of six or seven that I'd like to take from CEI to Mae Sai and would rather that we ride together instead of splitting across two taxis. Any information on rates or availability for this type of vehicle would be much appreciated. Thanks, HeyNow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sceadugenga Posted December 29, 2015 Author Share Posted December 29, 2015 This is the local taxi number if you want to give them a call, maybe you can book a larger vehicle. 053-77-34-77 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
