torrenova Posted December 8, 2013 Report Share Posted December 8, 2013 I need decent and reliable transport from Suvarnabhumi to Buriram around 22nd December 2013. Aside from googling, I'd really prefer a recommendation. It is a decently long drive and the last thing I need is Somchai on a mix of Red Bull and speed amphetamines after a night on lao khao. Happy to pay a decent rate but not willing to be gouged by the 5* hotel connections. Any ideas ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baa99 Posted December 9, 2013 Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 Doesn't Nok Air fly to Buriram? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TroyinEwa/Perv Posted December 9, 2013 Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 Is it a one way trip and how much are you paying? I have a good friend that has her own car that likes money and she also has friends that have cars. Very reliable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torrenova Posted December 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2013 Doesn't Nok Air fly to Buriram? Yeah but flying into Swampy (short haul) and when you work out the time to get to Don Muang and then from Satuk to where they want in Buriram (60/90 mins from Satuk) then the car has an advantage - perhaps just !

Thanks but looking for a bona fide company, not an individual, though very capable I'm sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

torrenova Posted December 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2013 Just to update. I was in Swampy and asked the AOT desks for some prices etc. An Isuzu Mu7 would be Bt5700 which is fine and though could perhaps be beaten, it would not be beaten by much for a 4x4 semi large car. However, I was told to phone the number on the business card to book. A few days before I need it, I think I'll call ahead and book, hoping to get a driver who wasn't out at the races the previous night, knowing he had a 10 hour round trip to the boonies. "Cannot" was the bullshit excuse when calling to book. This was in Thai, from one Thai to another and then the same shit when I phoned. Digging deeper the excuse is that booking finished last September until the airport authorities give them a new license. Crap, bullshit, wank, lies - whatever you'd call it. Anyway, we're winging it tomorrow and we'll see what happens ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
