Does any one know of a company, in Chiang Rai, that has a minibus/van that can take 13 passengers?

Thanks

Waiting for a friend at Chiangrai Bus Station a Mini Van from Phrae pulled in and -- wait for it-- 25 Thais wormed their way out and also the driver. To this day I dont know where or how they fitted in but they did. It should be no problem to find a Mini Van here to take half that number.

Try the tour places near the Wang Come hotel, I hired a smaller one with driver a few years back.

1500 a day, but it was a good 5 years ago.

I used a guy from the airport (who gave me his card) the other week - he drove me from Chiang Rai to Phayao for a very good price...

His driving was great and he had a Toyota minivan, which seats 13 I believe (I was the only person in it at the time)...?

I can give him a call and see if he can help out if you like? Let me know when you need it for and for how long and I'll give him a shout - you can then discuss prices with him directly for whatever you want to do.

Cheers,

Just curious.I live near Phayao. What was the price?

The price shown on the board in the airport taxi thread is 1200B.

May have gone up a little since then.

Yeah it is 1200 as we pay that to phayao

Just to clarify I need a van for 13 passengers, that has seat belts as I will be bringing a school group from Australia. I would prefer a company that has insurance.

Thanks, for the replies so far.

Definitely go for one of the mainstream car rental places at the airport.

It is 1200 to the centre of Phayao - I paid 1300, as I live a short way to the other side of Phayao (south)... Like I say, I thought it was a pretty good price for over an hour's worth of driving; especially as he had to make the trip back again at 10:30pm!

The booking was via the airport taxi number - I arrived quite late on a Sunday, so I had called them in advance to make sure someone would a) be there; and be willing to drive me down to Phayao....!

The guy was a good driver, the minibus was new and in good condition (it was his own) but I'm not sure about seat-belts in the back to be honest. I threw my bags in the back and sat up front with him!

I would imagine he has insurance (given that he was working via the airport company), but you never know with cars/buses/drivers here...?? You aren't likely to find out the truth unless you actually crash either, sorry to say...
