Thailand Travel 🇹🇭🐘

Line Man

You need to have Line installed with a Thai phone number, but you can order Motorbike taxi's to pick you up and drop you off from anywhere.

If you are in Chiang Mai, there are also red trucks that are kind of shared taxis - you flag them down when you need a ride, and the back can hold 8 people or so (depending on baggage, and how tightly you cram in). If they already have passengers, they may not take you if you are going a completely different direction, but it's usually not an issue. The prices are fixed, and are printed on the side of the trucks - at the time I was there, it was 50 baht per person to take you anywhere in the city (if you need to go outside the city, you can negotiate a price with the driver). Some of the drivers may try to get you to pay more - just confirm the price ahead of time, and point to the price on the side of the truck if they try to object.

I believe some other cities may have similar trucks, but they were primarily a feature of Change Mai while I was there.

It's a good idea to have multiple taxi apps setup.

You can flag taxis down on the street, and most streets have motorbike taxi guys available too.
