domdom Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Hello We reach Pattaya beginning of march and we plan to hire a taxi the second day to go around the town and do quite a lot of things we have to do (go to immigration to get the residence certificates, go to the garage for the car we purchased and so on..) Could anyone give us the price which costs such type of service for half day or full day and would anyone have a recommandation.. We are french (nobody is perfect..lol) but we can accomodate with a driver speaking even pinguin english and we speak some pinguin thai also !! So pls if possible be nice to give us some options Have a nice day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bartender100 Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 You can hire a baht bus for your own use.....a few hundred baht.... For a whole day? your joking, several thousand baht at least for a taxi, baht bus would be minimum B1500 probably more. They charge B200 for a single journey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krisb Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Dum dum, I'd say 3000 for the day at a guess. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PattayaPhom Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 You can hire a baht bus for your own use.....a few hundred baht.... For a whole day? your joking, several thousand baht at least for a taxi, baht bus would be minimum B1500 probably more. They charge B200 for a single journey There are still those that believe anything above minimum wage 300 for a full days graft, regardless of qualifications, experience or profession from navvies to brain surgeons and including travel time, expenses, equiptment and associated costs is a rip off. THB 1,500 is going rate in Pattaya for 8 hours local driving. Long distance will be charged accordingly 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The manic Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Yeah: 1500 hundred for a full eight hours seems about right to me....as I said a few hundred baht... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has anyone a contact as I would like to plan and contact them.. per mail would be great.. telephone will do if no other way and if they speak a bit of english Thanks a lot Have a nice day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BngkkB Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Most drivers rent taxi for 500-800 Baht for 12 hour shift from company depend on how new car is and how long driver work for company. Driver has to pay all gas and return car clean and full. So half a day offer pay full rental for day plus 1000 to driver. Should work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a whole day? your joking, several thousand baht at least for a taxi, baht bus would be minimum B1500 probably more. They charge B200 for a single journey I agree, baht bus for the day isn't going to be a few hundred, I reckon 2500 all day.

gk10002000 Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 on one of my first trips I met up a with a gal and she had an uncle I believe that had a decent AC pickup. I paid him 750 baht each day plus lunch which wasn't much and he drove us around. He took us to Nong Nooch and he hung around. The next day crocodile park and a few other places plus a little scenic drive outside of Pattaya. Just saying there are private options instead of a taxi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
domdom Posted February 13, 2015 Author Share Posted February 13, 2015 Hello Yes, surely, but reaching on 4th and needing a cab on 5th, I won't have time to arrange for "private options".. and it doesn't seem so simple because I am trying to find something for over 2 weeks and for the moment.. nothing Thanks anyway Have a good night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gk10002000 Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 If casual is OK, I would go for just about any Baht bus. Or ask any of the small taxi stands around that have a car for hire sign on them. You will have plenty of takers should you choose one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
