TotallyOz Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 My Boy Special's family has been with us in Phuket and they are flying back to Bangkok this week. Does anyone know what the cost for a taxi should be from Bangkok to Korat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 GT, I'd bet a dozen donuts that nobody here has ever done that so they wouldn't know. Up to you (yea, I know cost isn't likely a big factor for you) but I'd bet they'd be happy as clams taking an air-conditioned bus back home.

I think they need the fastest way home. Plus, the taxi seems fast and easy. They are not use to airports. Any idea on a taxi price? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest lvdkeyes Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Knowing Thais, I suspect they would put the taxi money in their pocket and take the aircon bus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Fastest way home? I suppose that's possible but it doen't sound very "Thai." I'd also bet that a direct bus wouldn't take 10% longer than a car (bus from Bangkok Ekamai to Pattaya bus station generally took about 2 hours and 20 minutes whereas you normally did that in a car in 2 hours). Perhaps you could just buy them a car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest GaySacGuy Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 I have no idea as to taxi cost, but I believe the train to Ubon stops in Korat, and that would be quick and comfortable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colmx Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 I paid 3000 fora taxi from Suvanabhumi to Khorat in Late December 2007.... I would imagine that the same price still applies Think we did the journey in 2.5 hours Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 They got a ride for less than my ride to Pattaya. But, I told them to go without me as if they see a falang, it will cost them more. I was right. They got it for less than I had to pay AOT for my ride. I had a big bicycle with me and needed an SUV for the ride and it was 2800. He got to Korat in a taxi for less than 2,000.
