How much is a taxi from Sukhothai Airport to my hotel?

฿800 by sedan, ฿1,000 by SUV and ฿1,300 by van, per vehicle, to any hotel in New Sukhothai or the Old City.

Is the Old City the same price as New Sukhothai?

Yes. One fare covers both, and they are about 12 km apart. Si Satchanalai, about 55 km north, is quoted by message.

Should I fly into Sukhothai (THS) or Phitsanulok (PHS)?

Sukhothai Airport is closer, about 40 km (about 45 minutes), and its flights come from Suvarnabhumi. Phitsanulok is about 80 km (about 1.5 hours) away, with flights from Don Mueang. Choose by where your flight leaves from.

Where does the driver meet me at the airport?

At Sukhothai and Phitsanulok airports, outside the arrivals exit after you collect your bags; the exact spot comes with your confirmation. At Suvarnabhumi, after customs, go up to Level 4 (Departures) and out through the doors near Gate 4, where the car waits in the pickup lane. At Don Mueang, come to Level 1 (Arrivals): Gate 5 if you land on an international flight, Gate 11 on a domestic flight. The first 60 minutes of waiting are free, and a name sign at the arrivals exit is +฿100 on request.

How long is the drive from Bangkok?

About 440 km, 5.5–6 hours, from central Bangkok; about 6 hours from Suvarnabhumi and about 5.5 hours from Don Mueang. The sedan fare from Bangkok is ฿5,200.

Can I go on to Chiang Mai or Ayutthaya?

Yes, at fixed fares: Chiang Mai is about 320 km, 4–5 hours (฿4,200 by sedan); Ayutthaya about 370 km, 4.5–5 hours (฿4,700 by sedan).

In Thai baht cash to the driver at the end of the trip. Nothing is charged when you book. Card payment: if you need it, ask our customer service team and we'll send you a payment link (an extra fee for creating and handling the payment link may apply).

Can I cancel or change my booking?

Yes. Cancellations and changes are free up to 24 hours before pickup; after that the fee is 25% (less than 24 h), 35% (less than 12 h) or 50% (less than 2 h) of the price, and 100% for a no-show — also when you pay the driver in cash. We charge the fee by payment link. A new hotel or address in the same area, a flight number or the number of passengers can be changed free of charge. Message us on WhatsApp to cancel or change.

Is the price per person?

No, per vehicle: up to 3 passengers in a sedan, 5 in an SUV and 7 in a van.

Can the driver wait while I see the Historical Park?

The fares here are one-way transfers. Back the same day? Book the way back as a second one-way ride — you can book both at once. Waiting time or a day out is quoted by message. Park entry fees are not included.

Which airport?

Sukhothai Airport (THS) or Phitsanulok (PHS)?

Flights: Bangkok Airways, from Suvarnabhumi (BKK).
Fare to your hotel: Sedan ฿800 · SUV ฿1,000 · Van ฿1,300

PHS

Phitsanulok Airport

Distance: About 80 km to your hotel in New Sukhothai or the Old City: about 1.5 hours.
Flights: Flights from Don Mueang (DMK).
Fare to your hotel: Sedan ฿1,100 · SUV ฿1,400 · Van ฿1,800

Phitsanulok Airport → Sukhothai

Pick by where your flight leaves from: Suvarnabhumi flies to Sukhothai Airport, Don Mueang to Phitsanulok. The fares are above; either way the car is yours alone.

Meeting your driver

At Sukhothai and Phitsanulok airports the driver waits outside the arrivals exit once you have your bags; the exact spot comes with your confirmation. At Suvarnabhumi, after customs, go up to Level 4 (Departures) and out through the doors near Gate 4; the car waits in the pickup lane. At Don Mueang, come to Level 1 (Arrivals): Gate 5 if you land on an international flight, Gate 11 on a domestic flight. The first 60 minutes of waiting are free, and a person checks your flight, so a delay moves the pickup. A name sign at the arrivals exit is +฿100, on request.
