The experience
The driver meets you at the airport holding a sign with your name, so you don't scan the crowd for a stranger or wonder if you're in the right place. From there, it's a straightforward ride in a spacious, air-conditioned van with room for luggage and passengers. Toll fees are covered, and if you're traveling with children in a pram or stroller, that travels with you. The van is wheelchair accessible if you need it.
Hotels within 7km of Tha Pae Gate, the center of Chiang Mai, are covered by this service. That radius includes most of the Old City and the neighborhoods around it. If your hotel sits outside that zone, confirm the pickup location when you book. The driver speaks English or Thai, so communication is straightforward. One piece of standard luggage and one carry-on per person are handled as part of the service. Anything beyond that can be arranged at checkout.
You pick the direction when you book: arrival transfer (airport to hotel), departure transfer (hotel to airport), or round-trip. The vehicle type may vary depending on your travel date, but it will be spacious and air-conditioned. Confirmation arrives at the time of booking, so you have the details in hand before you land.

What if I need to change my pickup or drop-off location after booking?
Confirm your exact hotel or pickup address when you book. If you need to change it after confirmation, contact the operator using your booking details as soon as possible. Changes depend on whether your new location falls within the 7km radius of Tha Pae Gate.
Do I need to tip the driver?
Gratuities are not included in the transfer price. Tipping is at your discretion and is not required.
