Taxi from Bangkok to Korat

[TotallyOz]

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?

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.

They have a one year old crying baby. 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?

Knowing Thais, I suspect they would put the taxi money in their pocket and take the aircon bus.

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?

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.

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

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.
