Travelling on 24 December to 5 January? A holiday surcharge of 400 THB per car applies to those dates. Going somewhere else? Every transfer is on the price page.
What is inside the price
The fare includes fuel, tolls and the pick-up at the airport. International arrivals meet the driver at Gate 2 next to Exit 2, and domestic arrivals at Gate A. The driver follows your flight number, so a delayed landing does not cancel the pick-up, and the service runs at any hour.
You pay when you book, by Visa, Mastercard or PayPal. Fast Track at the airport is optional and works on arrival only.
Bigger groups and what they cost
Cars are priced one at a time, so for a group the question is which combination of cars costs least.
- Five people with full cases do not fit in an SUV / MPV, which takes up to 4. One minibus at 1,499 THB carries them. An SUV plus a sedan would cost 2,198 THB.
- Ten people need two vehicles. A minibus plus a sedan costs 2,498 THB. Two minibuses cost 2,998 THB.
- One person travelling alone still pays for the car, and the sedan at 999 THB is the lowest price. The passenger count never changes it.
What changes the price
Three things. The car comes first: the bigger it is, the more it costs, as the table shows. The date comes second. Trips on 24 December to 5 January carry a holiday surcharge of 400 THB per car, which makes a sedan 1,399 THB and an SUV or MPV 1,599 THB. The destination comes third, because other beaches have their own pages. Layan and Surin are the neighbours of Bang Tao, and every route is on the price page.
Why a short drive keeps a fixed price
Eighteen kilometres is quick, yet the rule is the same as on a long route. The price is set for the route. A slow stretch near Cherngtalay or a wet evening on the coast roads does not add to it.
Comparing it with other ways to Bang Tao
Buses, shared vans, street taxis and ride-hailing all price differently, and the figures change with the season and the hour, so look at the current ones on the day. On a trip this short, waiting time and a possible change of vehicle can matter as much as the fare. The how-to-get page sets the options side by side.
