Hi plien
Welcome. We had a big do down south of Bangkok. about 220K south. As there was quite a few we hired a 12 seater mini bus from VIP with driver cost 1500B a day, 24Hrs, plus fuel, They also do car rentals, I had no problems with them and very good service. There main office is near airport.
Cheers Doug.

Yes I used them quite a few timers over the years. They always did a prompt and efficient delivery service. Once I gave them very short notice when something cropped and they had a car delivered to me soon after. Highly recommended.
