Can anyone recommend a English speaking driver who could drive a friend around, fly in to CM Fri night, required to pick up early morn sat, head up north to the gardens and possible the G Triangle and drop off at airport and Sunday arvo / evening with hotel and stuff being paid for by the farlang.

just trying to help out a buddy to do a fleeting visit to CR instead of CM.

Bump, anyone know any ?

I always drive myself and play chauffeur to friends who stay with us so have never used a driver. I am pretty sure this question has been asked before but I didn't pay attention at the time so I can't be of any help. Sorry.

Thanks anyway VF

A friend of mine is a licensed tour guide, low on work lately. Speaks Thai, English, Chinese and various hill-tribe languages. Send me a personal message and I'll supply a phone number. His accent is a little bit thick at first, but easy to get used to, quickly enough. I had a driver once in Burma, took me a couple days to find out that we could actually communicate quite well!

Oh, I've hired this friend as a guide for visiting dignitaries before, and all worked out quite well, but for reasons I don't recall, he wanted someone else as a driver. Will ask him about that. But for sure, he'll know someone.

Actually, I think you could find someone easily on your own... if you're not in town, search the net using google. If you are in town, ask at the place opposite Wiang Inn. But if you can't find anything, I'm sure my friend can help out.
