Once again ~ annually in fact ~ I must do my part for my old man and do a little flogging of his business on this Gentleman's Board. I assure you ... you will only see this post once (besides the normal bumping any replies provide).
High season in Thailand starts around the beginning of November, so a post on this subject seems appropriate at this time.
The man in question ~ the genial and courteous Mr Suphot-of-Surin-&-Hua Hin ~ has a taxi / tour guide business which he has on offer to all on this Board and the others ~ and all folks in fact, gay dudes being only a minority of the total ~ to take him up on the invitation and opportunity of enjoying a guided tour of Thailand's pleasures (you choose your own definition of 'pleasures' and decide wherever you'd like to find them. Needless to say I'm sure ... but some 'pleasures' are not available :o ).
He newest vehicle much improves the comfort of your journey ... in the main because the back seat is now a 'full' regular car-style seat rather than the cramped half-seat of the old truck. The wheels are also bigger and wider and the suspension more robust, giving a more plush ride overall.
As always, he keeps it immaculate.
THE THINGS HE CAN DO FOR YOU:
- He can pick you up at the airport and bring you to Hua Hin.[/*:m:10bxht44]
- He can take you back to the airport (if you are going there from Hua Hin & environs).[/*:m:10bxht44]
- He can pick you up anywhere, and then take you anywhere. (A bit of an explanation on this one. Recently we've received emails or PMs from members inquiring about trips which include a start point quite a long way from Hua Hin. Pot has done quite a number of these ~usually the pickup is Bangkok ~ but mostly they are longer trips of 3 or 4 days at the shortest up to 2 or 3 weeks longest. However, a one day trip where Suphot picks up a customer in some remote spot, takes him to his destination, then he drives back to Hua Hin would 'normally' be too expensive for a customer to consider, as he would be paying for distance and time of which he gets no value. Hope that makes sense.)[/*:m:10bxht44]
- He can take you on long trips (i.e. overnighters) or short day excursions around Hua Hin and environs. [/*:m:10bxht44]
- He can be your guide, or just wait around for you to sightsee on your own.[/*:m:10bxht44]
- He can guide you into the dark and erotic gay (or otherwise) bowels of Bangkok.[/*:m:10bxht44]
- He can guide you through 'tourist' Bangkok or other cities you may think intriguing.[/*:m:10bxht44]
- He can guide you through up country Khymer temples, back country isaan roads, rarely-visited towns along the Mekong, gun fight cities like Mae Sot ..... yada yada yada.[/*:m:10bxht44]
Basically wherever your Thailand adventure calls for a little more personal experience.
He speaks quite fluent English.
Boardies get a discount!
This is the vehicle, a Toyota Vigo 4-door diesel: Very comfy passenger seat & back seats, lots of leg room, full aircon, and a quite impressive sound system. Passengers can watch movies (in the front seat anyway) or listen to their favourite CD's or DVD's.
The back seat is big enough for two big farang plus a small Thai, 5 small Thais, 3 medium-boned farangs, or any combination thereof. Three larger farangs in the back seat is a bit of a squeeze and not recommended for longer trips.
Luggage can easily be loaded into the backseat if only two customers are engaged, or, if more than two, it can be safely stored in the truck's box as it comes with a top quality waterproof cover (shown rolled-up in the photo below).
And this is the driver: Mr Suphot is a mature, 42-year old Thai man born in Buriram, but who's family moved to Surin Province when he was very young. His/our home is of course in Hua Hin now.
Phot speaks very good English, and will drive as you ask him ... stop where and when you want him to stop ... speed up and slow down as you'd like it. His passengers' safety and happiness are his main concerns.
He has Number 1 insurance for both car and passengers.
Prices for the 'taxi' part of the service are at the regular going rate for similar vehicles in Hua Hin.
Prices for guided day trips throughout Hua Hin and environs are along the same idea ... a flat fee, discussed in advance, slightly below the rate of other services, although that can also depend on how long you wish him to stay out with you during the trip. Normally the customer would be expected to provide a meal depending on time spent away.
Prices for long, multi-day guided tours include the customer paying the cost of fuel, meals, and accommodations (where necessary), plus a daily stipend (negotiable within reason, in advance). To save you baht ... on multi-day trips he is quite happy to book into a (cheap!) Thai style hotel while you, his customer, lazes about in luxury at The Four Seasons Resort and Spa.
