Private Taxi

We work directly with a private transport company to get the the best service at the best price. You can CONTACT us directly to arrange a private ride if you are arriving from the airport. If you book with us, there will be someone waiting for you at baggage claim holding a sign with your name on it.

 

While you are here enjoying the island, we are happy to call a taxi to pick you up at your doorstep.

There are 2 types of taxis on Lanta- Tuk Tuks and Song Taos.

Unlike in Bangkok, a Tuk Tuk on the islands looks like this:

If you are in a larger group, going a longer distance, or would just feel more comfortable, the option of a taxi truck is also readily available.

This is a “Song Tao”- a taxi truck:

They are usually the same price as a tuk tuk, and as with all taxi service on Lanta, they unfortunately charge per person. We have the phone number for a very friendly and reliable driver, and are happy to call him anytime if you’d like a ride from the house.

We can’t give exact rates, as they are ultimately up to the specific driver, but I would except to pay a minimum of 60b to get anywhere, and maybe up to 300b to get to the pier (7km). We’re happy to ask for an exact quote from him before you commit to the ride (a good habit in general).
