How we set prices

Our fixed price per car includes the car, a licensed driver, fuel and tolls, and also checking drivers, the booking, replacements and support. On short airport runs this makes us more expensive than a taxi or app, and we say so on those pages, with the source and date of the comparison price.

Per car vs per person

Group tours sell seats; we sell the whole car. For 3–4 people a private Ayutthaya day costs about $150 in total, and you leave and return when you want.

Cheaper alternatives

Trains and buses are very cheap in Thailand — about ฿20 to Ayutthaya in third class, ฿260–400 by Green Bus from Chiang Mai to Chiang Rai (visitthailandtoday.com, October 2026). A car is worth it for comfort, time and several stops in one day.
