tubehero Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Dear all, on the streets I only see small taxi coming by. Now I have a group of 5, 6 adults and don't know how to book a taxi for them: 1. To go around Bangkok 2. To travel to the international airport Your help is greatly appreciated.

beano2274 Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 you can book a bigger taxi by phoning the taxi companies, am doing at the moment to get prices for a trip to Swampy from my home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShopBoy Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Why not just split them into 2 groups and hail 2 cabs ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tubehero Posted February 27, 2012 Author Share Posted February 27, 2012 Dear ShopBoy, the reason is most of them don't speak English or Thai, so we need to travel as a group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShopBoy Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Dear ShopBoy, the reason is most of them don't speak English or Thai, so we need to travel as a group. I think the biggest cab u could get is probably the Isuzu Mu-7. Can fit 6 passengers but not comfortable arrangement worst if you are stuck in traffic. Definitely no room for luggages as well for all the 6 passengers if the car is fitted with NGV tank. Consider a Van. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FritsSikkink Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Dear ShopBoy, the reason is most of them don't speak English or Thai, so we need to travel as a group. Get somebody to write the adress in Thai twice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonititan Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 I agree - book a van instead, if you have specific plans. They'll be more comfortable, and sometimes they actually work out to be cheaper (like when booking a van vs. a taxi for the entire day). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopburi3 Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Believe some car rental firms have drivers/van available or you can just ask around as there is normally someone in the local area who provides such service. Price per day will likely be in the 1,500-2,000 baht range plus fuel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tubehero Posted February 27, 2012 Author Share Posted February 27, 2012 Oh, do you mean that if I rent a van, they will charge me the whole day, not a single trip? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShopBoy Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Yes. You rent a Van on daily basis with driver for about 2500 Baht per day without gasoline cost. The van will come with full tank of gasoline you go wherever you wish and end of the day you would need to fill back the gasoline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tombkk Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Oh, do you mean that if I rent a van, they will charge me the whole day, not a single trip? Depends on what you want. Your OP is not clear, do you want to go around town or to the airport? Discuss prices with the rental company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tubehero Posted February 27, 2012 Author Share Posted February 27, 2012 When I was in Vietnam, apparently every taxi company there has a 4-seater or 7-seater taxi. You just call them and tell them which car you want. It is very simple: the use of meter is just the same. Similarly, I want to have a 7-seater taxi to go around town, but I only want to pay for each trip, not for the whole day. Is it possible to do that?

tubehero Posted February 28, 2012 Author Share Posted February 28, 2012 I checked some taxi companies which have websites, and all of them ask for at least 1200 baht if you want a mini van /minibus to the airport. I remember while I was at the Bangkok airport, it cost us 700 baht to rent a mini van to downtown Bangkok. Do you know any company with that price so that we can go from downtown to the international airport? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
