Car With Driver Advice

[TJH]

Hi,

Am new to Bangkok and will be wanting to get a car with driver in December (but with a view for a full time job/car hire), to ferry me around for work and to take the wife and baby around town during the week. I am prepared to pay the driver overtime at the weekend as needs be. My requirements are as follows and would greatly appreciate any advice and or contacts on how to go about this the best way:

• Only need a smallish car (Honda Civic/Honda Freed/Toyota Altis) etc
• Driver to work 5 or 5.5 days a week, speak reasonable (ish) English and know his way around Bangkok
• Would appreciate advice on overtime payment, what is expected etc
• Preferred budget of no more than 30K Baht per month for car and driver (is this the right ballpark?)
• Any pitfalls or advice on what to be aware of?

Many thanks in advance for any advice that you may have.

Cheers

Tim
