Taxi - Korat To Pattaya

[welshchris]

Hi Guys

My wife and I are bringing our one year old to Korat.

Rather than the hassle of buses i was wondering if any one had any numbers for companies in Korat that did a taxi service to Pattaya.

If so any idea on prices.

Thanks in advance

Chris

Better to avoid Pattaya, not ideal holiday destination for a family from what i have read here from other posters.

In most taximeters there is a chart on long distance prices , according per city and amount of miles . I sat in a taxi once in BKK and the price on the trip from BKK to Udon ( which is further ) was 5000 baht ( if i remeber correctly ) . We talked about it and the driver said , if you want to go , i take you for 4000 ( 1000 off ) . We didn't do it ( we weren't interested in the 1st place ) but i guess the price isn't that bad if you go with a couple off persons .

just contact the front desk of one of the bigger hotels in Khorat, they help you with direct offers or redirect you to a taxi co.

Just had my mother transfered to Swampy. The driver did it for 3,500 Baht, incl toll charges, the distance being about the same. If done on a metered rate I believe the cost would have been 2,600, but you'd need to find a driver that has just started his shift as it's roughly an 7-8 hour round trip.
