Bus, train, minivan and ferry fares are approximate and were last checked in September 2026. Our own fares are live from our booking system.
Your driver meets you at the pickup address you give us — for airport pickups, in the arrivals hall after you clear customs, loads your bags, and takes you straight to your destination. There are no other passengers, no stops you did not ask for, and no detours to souvenir shops. The journey covers about 32 km and takes 45 – 60 minutes in normal traffic.
The fare is agreed before you travel and does not move. If your flight is delayed, we track it and the driver waits — 60 minutes of waiting time is included at no charge, which is more than enough for immigration and baggage. You pay in Thai Baht cash when you arrive, so there is nothing to settle in advance and nothing to claim back if plans change.
