CFC Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 I want to hire a driver when I arrive in Phuket to find a place to live. My motor bike days are over. Can anyone recommend a decent driver and what should I be looking to pay per day for their time and the fuel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

honoluabay Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Try and ask chai at kitchen Kata Beach, he always knows someone that can help, or any taxi driver. Sent from my A200 using Thaivisa Connect Thailand mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colonel_Mustard Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 I pay 12000 a month but that's for a full-time driver/handyman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NamKangMan Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 (edited) I pay 12000 a month but that's for a full-time driver/handyman. Is that using your car, or his? Also, if his car, and I know it's a minor issue, but does this make him an illegal taxi? Edited October 26, 2013 by NamKangMan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When friends/family visit me, or for tourists as well, I wonder if hiring a car, but having a Thai drive it (nominated driver on the hiring contract) could be a possible way to get the transport issue here. It could also be employment for more Thai's. So, your driver meet you at the airport, you hire your car, then he, and the car, is yours, 24/7, for the duration of your holiday. The car stays at your hotel, and the driver rides his motorbike home, and meets you again the next day. I wonder if these guys would be pulled out of the car and assaulted by the tuk-tuk guys?

It's something family members have done before without any problems but if it became more widespread, who knows what the reaction would be? Having said that we do know the likely reaction.
