Anyone know a decent (safe) minibus driver in CM?

Featured Replies

Hi, I have visitors from the UK next month and we want to spend a few days in and around CM. They want to fly as it's an all day drive from my home. I don't fancy hiring a car so we'll need to hire a minibus & driver. Can any of you locals recommend someone reliable please? They don't have to speak English as my wife speaks decent Thai (as she is Thai).

Yes I know one I have used a lot and before for years he drove my daughter to and from school.

His name is Prapan, phone number 0813864509.

Thanks again, he was not available when we called and unfortunately we had already booked by the time he called back.

Thanks for the recommendation.

We called this guy and booked him.

For anyone else looking, we hired them for three days, travelling around the CM district. On the first day we had "Papa" then one of his brothers. Both of them were very pleasant and more importantly both were good drivers, keeping at appropriate speeds and distances and not reacting to any bad driving by others. Cost was 1,800 THB / day plus diesel, which I thought was reasonable. Apparently they have twelve vans driven by two generations of their family. Both of the vans that we traveled in were clean, looked new and seemed well maintained.
