⭐ Top 3 Affordable & Safe Chauffeur in Thailand

Thailand is a popular destination for travelers around the world, with its vibrant culture, delicious food, and stunning beaches. Getting around in Thailand can be challenging, especially if you don't speak the local language. Hiring a chauffeur service is a great way to explore the country without worrying about navigating the busy streets or public transportation.

#MyGoTo Chauffeur service in Thailand is Thoon Bangkok Taxi Service 👍🏻 The driver's name is Thoon and he is able to travel to almost all parts of Thailand: from airport to city hotel and tourist attractions, from Bangkok all the way to Chiang Mai (that's ~10h away for a one-way non-stop drive)

1️⃣ Thoon Bangkok Taxi Service is one of the most popular chauffeur services in #thailand 🇹🇭 There is only one driver and that is Thoon himself, who lives in #bangkok with his family (he has 2 kids so that's a plus point for me because as a father himself, I feel #safe with his private hire service coz there is low chance of him kidnapping me 555)

💰 For a full day drive including overnight stay (meaning outside of Bangkok city), price is 4,500 baht per day for up to 6 pax (price inclusive of his accoms and vehicle petrol)

💰 For a day trip drive excluding overnight stay (meaning end the drive and drop everyone off within Bangkok city), price is 3,500 baht for up to 6 pax

💸 Deposit is 2,000 baht to reserve and block out his calendar for you (let him know which exact dates you will need his chauffeur service) and I paid via promptpay through OCBC payanyone app

⭐ His vehicle can sit up to 10 pax but the price will be slightly different (still very affordable if you split the price with everyone)

📝 For overnight accoms (meaning end the day outside of Bangkok city), he will usually find budget hotels to stay near to your accoms (so easier to pick y'all up the next day)

Pros:

✅ Thoon is professional and very knowledgeable about the local area, so he can provide recommendations for your itinerary

✅ Able to communicate in English (for text messages in English, he usually google translates them so his English replies via text may be a little off, but his spoken English is decently good)

✅ Free super-fast WIFI within the vehicle (his WIFI was faster than my hotel's WIFI and personal overseas roaming data)

✅ Free TV screen (you gotta request him to activate the TV screen, I think he has netflix too! we watched football for awhile in his vehicle during the Bangkok jam but sometimes the TV connection not so good haha)

✅ Free drinks (such as pepsi, water, etc) and wet wipes (but we did not use his items or drinks because we will feel bad using them haha so we bought our own instead)

✅ Free karaoke (need to request from him if keen)

Cons:

❎ Not considered affordable for some who are on a tigher budget (honestly this is the only cons I could think of, everything else was great, Thoon service is #affordable and within our budget even tho we only had 4 pax but still same price as 6 pax)

❎ May ask his friend (Mr Sing) who isn't as familiar as Thoon to drive if he isn't available (according to tripadvisor review)

Alternative chauffeur service in Thailand:

✅ Seem to have a few drivers (so higher chance of your travel dates avail for booking in their calender)

❎ Did not reply to my whatsapp questions regarding how will the deposit and full fee will be paid etc, so feels a little weird and perhaps his English isn't that good (but this may lead to potential miscommunications)

While all three of these chauffeur services are reliable and safe, Thoon Bangkok Taxi Service is #MyGoTo option in #thailand 🇹🇭
