Bangkok to Chiang Mai Destination Reviews

CB
While this is listed as a hotel transfer, there were no issues with us booking this from Bangkok bus station to Chiang Mai bus station. I booked this transfer to get from Bangkok Mochit bus terminal to Chiang Mai bus terminal after missing the overnight bus I'd booked. I made my order at 10pm and by 10:30pm I was text on whatsapp by the company with a picture of the vehicle (a SUV, actually, which was a pleasant surprise) very professional driver arrived in a clean and comfortable SUV and drove us the 10 hours to Chang Mai, stopping at rest stations every 2hrs where we could access toilets and 7-11s. All in all it was excellent. I would definitely recommend this to anyone needing a taxi the long distance from BK to Chiang Mai. Firstplan Transport are 10/10.

While our first booking with another operator, which was already paid for, was cancelled by 12go, everything was quickly and easily solved. The trip from Bangkok to Chiang Mai itself was smooth. The 9pax minivan was spacious and clean. The driver did an excellent job. We were happy to book our return trip again with 12go and the same operator, BangkokTaxi24.

The whole trip was excellent. They were on time, straight away made me feel comfortable, telling me that we could stop any time for toilet breaks or food. They updated me on the expected time and in general were just lovely people. Safe driving and a nice ride. Would 100% recommend.

Travelling by taxi essentials

  • To ensure you are picked up when required, book your taxi transfer in advance. It is vital to plan your journeys early if you are going to travel during the busiest periods – high season or just rush hours. Sometimes it will be impossible to book a long ride with the immediate departure – in the best-case scenario you will have to wait for hours, in the worth one – to postpone or cancel your trip.
  • Make sure you have clearly agreed on pick up and drop off locations prior to the trip. If getting to your location requires special instructions – e.g., road closures, non-resident cars are banned from entering your compound, etc. – let the driver know it in advance.
  • If you need to make a detour or are planning any stops during your taxi ride, want to check any tourist attractions or pick up additional passengers in locations other than your pick up point, inform your taxi company beforehand. Extra fees may be charged – or may not, depending on your route, the car type, and the company’s policy. Anyway, it is always better to confirm everything before your trip. If you fail to do so, your driver may not be able to meet your request enroute due to his further schedule – he may be assigned for another trip.
  • Not all the taxi drivers in any country are able to speak English. If you require an English-speaking driver, inform your taxi company about it in advance and get their confirmation. If your trip does not require any additional stops or deviations from the route, you can most probably survive it even with a non-English-speaking driver, can’t you?
  • If you have any other special requirements, e.g. a car seat for your kid or baby, a female driver, no car perfume, etc. require in advance. Additional fees may apply. Do not hesitate to ask your driver to switch off the music or stop talking if you do not feel like chatting – it is totally ok, just do it politely.
  • The majority of cars on offer are non-smoking, yet your driver can be a smoker and smoke outside the car, e.g. during the stops. If it is of importance to you, do not forget to mention ‘a non-smoking driver’ in comments or special requirements section.
  • It is usually prohibited to drink alcohol while in taxi – yes, even if you are just a passenger. The same refers to smelly foods or foods in general. In some Asian countries you will not be allowed to have durians in your luggage, either.
  • It is compulsory to use seat belts for all the passengers in a car no matter whether you occupy a front seat or rear seats. Locate your safety belt and fasten it even if your driver does not insist on it.
  • As a rule, there is a short waiting period included into your taxi rate quoted, especially if you travel from/to the airport or train station. Often it does not exceed 15 or 30 minutes. If longer waiting time is required, you will be charged extra after the trip. Check the rates your company offers before the trip.
