Thailand's best sights sit well apart: Bangkok's temples and markets sprawl across a vast city, Chiang Mai's mountain viewpoints ring the northern capital, and in the south the beaches, viewpoints and piers of Phuket, Krabi and Koh Samui are spread across islands and coastlines with slow, winding roads. Hiring a private driver with an air-conditioned car for the day — or the whole stay — is the comfortable way travellers cover the distance.

Where travellers hire a driver in Thailand

Bangkok drivers cover the temples, floating markets and day trips to Ayutthaya. In the north, Chiang Mai is the base for Doi Suthep, the elephant sanctuaries, Doi Inthanon and the Chiang Rai loop. On the coasts, Pattaya drivers run the bay and the Koh Larn piers, while Phuket, Krabi and Koh Samui drivers cover the beaches, viewpoints and island piers of the south.

Day rates and longer bookings

A full day is usually quoted for around eight hours and includes the vehicle, fuel and the driver. Entrance fees, national park tickets and meals are paid separately. Booking a week or more automatically applies 15% off the daily rate, and 25% from 21 days.

Why a private driver beats songthaews and taxis

Fares add up quickly when every sight needs a separate negotiation, and outside the tourist centres availability thins out. One driver for the day means one agreed price, a car waiting at every stop and the freedom to change the plan as you go.
