What the fixed price covers on a long trip
Fuel and tolls are in the price, and so are the pick-up at the airport, a child seat, waiting time and free cancellation up to 6 hours before pick-up. On a drive of 2 hours 20 minutes that matters, because nothing runs on a meter. A slow stretch of Highway 4 or a downpour inland does not change what you pay.
The driver waits at Gate 2 next to Exit 2 for international flights, or at Gate A for domestic ones, and follows your flight number. You pay when you book, by Visa, Mastercard or PayPal. Fast Track is an optional extra at the airport, for arrivals only.
How the four prices step up
| Car | Price | More than the sedan |
|---|---|---|
| Sedan, up to 3 | 2,999 THB | Base price |
| SUV / MPV, up to 4 | 3,499 THB | 500 THB |
| Minibus, up to 9 | 3,999 THB | 1,000 THB |
| VIP Minibus, up to 8 | 4,999 THB | 2,000 THB |
The jump from sedan to SUV is small, so if you are four adults, or three with a lot of bags, take the SUV. Six travellers can choose between two sedans at 5,998 THB in total and one minibus at 3,999 THB. The minibus is cheaper and keeps the group in one car.
What can change the price
- The car. A larger car costs more, as the table shows.
- The dates. For trips on 24 December to 5 January, a holiday surcharge of 400 THB per car is added. A sedan then costs 3,399 THB, an SUV or MPV 3,899 THB, a minibus 4,399 THB and a VIP minibus 5,399 THB.
- The drop-off point. This price is for the Khao Sok area on the main road. A stay that starts at the Ratchaprapha Dam pier for Cheow Lan Lake is a different drive, so message us before you book. Other places have their own price on the price page.
Costs that are not in the transfer price
The price covers the car trip. A boat or ferry, such as the one on Cheow Lan Lake, is paid separately. National park entry, your lodge, any boat or ferry on the lake and the tours you join are set by the park and by the operators, so ask them for their current rates when you plan the budget.
Setting it beside other ways of getting there
Buses, minivans, street taxis, ride-hailing and tour packages are all priced in their own way and change with season and demand, so we do not quote them here. Ask for the current figure, and count the luggage and the waiting. The how-to-get page goes through the options one at a time.
