Thanks. I don’t drive abroad. I barely drive at home. Around how much would a driver cost and where would I find a good one? I’m traveling solo, so this could be a budget buster for me.
I haven’t checked Grab for a baseline, but I’ll guess it’s at least 1200 baht each way. There’s a tour company I’ve used before that offers a hiking day trip to Khao Yai for 2500 baht, which is the max I’d probably want to pay. Wouldn’t a personal driver who’s going to wait for me the whole day while I hike cost much more than that?
