Overnight transfer to Bangkok

Hello everybody

I am looking for a transfer to Bangkok from Khao Lak. I consider VIP 24 seat Bus or a private minivan. I need to be at Suvarnabhumi early morning, 8 am at latest so I thought the overnight option is not bad. There are no flights during night and I wanted to stay in Khao Lak as long as possible. Doeas it take 11 hours to drive to BKK? Wouldn;t be a cheaper %26amp; faster option to hire a privat minivan? (There is a group of 9 of us). What do you think?

Driving at night is dangerous in Thailand (not that safe in the daytime) due to the accident rate, high speed driving etcetc. Also, you%26#39;ll be exhausted by the time you get there. IMO you should fly to Bangkok.

I agree entirely with dragonc and in any event I do not think it is a practicable proposition. Firstly I do not think there is a Khao Lak based vehicle hire company/agen with a self-drive mini-bus to accommodate 9 persons or that would go for a one-way hire to Bangkok.

Try Khao Lak Land Discovery on www.khaolaklanddiscovery.com/bookings.php as they have a variety of vehicles with driver or Khao Lak Travel Centre on www.khaolaktravelcenter.com/index.php… who may quote for two mini-vans with drivers.

And, yes, 11 hours is a reasonble estimate of time to Bangkok. Dutch friends of ours drove non-stop (apart from comfort breaks) from Khao Lak to Hua Hin which is about 3 hours from Bangkok last March overnight in 8 hours. They said they will never do it again!!!
