Seeking a local driver

Post by Roppongi »

G'day boardies,

Returning to Hua Hin in October for the first time in about 5 years.

Can anyone recommend a good safe local driver with a decent vehicle?

I'll need a ride to a few golf courses, out of the way beaches, etc.

We'll be staying near the Hyatt.

Thanks.

I can't help you with finding a driver, but making the assumption that you have found a safe driver could cost you your life in Thailand.

The last trip from Hun Hin to Bangkok my taxi driver hit a truck, and almost fell asleep at the wheel.

It is "up to you" to monitor your driver. Good luck.

And make sure you have a smart phone with something like Google maps or a GPS program, so you can show your driver where you want to go. They have no clue where anything is.
I really like this forum because there are no personal attacks. All the members contribute in a positive way to my posts.
