March 1, 201511 yr Looking to hire an English speaking car driver for a couple days in a couple weeks, where can I find a cheap but reliable one?
March 1, 201511 yr where are you? it is still possible to find one in London if you look hard enough sorry not cheap
March 2, 201511 yr A 10 seater(?) van and a driver cost about 2000Bht from car hire places, I would imagine cars are a bit cheaper. I usually hire a sorngtao driver that I find drives quite well and rates are between 700 and 1500 for the day including fuel and depending therefore how far you travel. Car hire companies are the most comfortable and best insurance cover, but the most expensive. I personally preferred the sorngtao and have had some great days with the drivers. they seem to know the best places to eat and have taken me to places I would never have thought of. Last time went to see the drivers family who run a noodle making factory on the way to Chiang Dao. But you will find plenty of TV members who will tell you the baht buses are dirty, uncomfortable and death traps. I have also hired private cars with the owner driving. Not particularly cheap but at the time it was convenient. Never actually tried to hire the CM taxi service itself so I can't comment. Give them a call and find out - let us know if you do so. If you do a search on TV for Car hire with driver you will find other suggestions. Edited March 2, 201511 yr by Mousehound
March 7, 201511 yr When I have visitors they always use a certain songtheaw driver. They enjoy riding in them, dress how they like, stop when they like, he doesn't rush them home and as a previous poster said not only do they see what they want plus stuff they never knew existed and some great eating places.
