Car Rental in Thailand


Bangkok

 

Bangkok is the bustling capital of Thailand. It is Southeast Asia’s most popular city and a top destination for travellers. Back in the 15th century during the Ayutthaya Kingdom, Bangkok was only just a small trading post. Today, Bangkok’s borders have expanded to include 6 provinces, namely Nonthaburi, Pathum Thani, Chachoengsao, Samut Prakan, Samut Sakhon and Nakhon Pathom.

 

Modern Bangkok is party central. It is famous for its dizzying array of nightlife, which boasts luxurious rooftop bars and upbeat nightclubs. The notorious Khao San Road and Sukhumvit Road are among two of the most popular party hotspots, bringing new meaning to a city that never sleeps. If the commotion happening is too much for you, try Soi Rambuttri and Thonglor for a more laidback version of Bangkok.

 

Bangkok’s retail scene is one of the most dynamic in Southeast Asia. Featuring hypermodern and luxurious shopping malls, night markets at every corner down to the floating markets on the river, you are bound to find something exciting in this wonderful city. Among the more prominent shopping malls are Siam Paragon and Central World. If we’re talking floating markets, then Chatuchak is the place to go.

Cha-Am

Cha-Am (also known as Chaam) is located 170 kilometres south of Bangkok and can be reached approximately three hours by car. Cha-Am is well known for its tranquil and laid back atmosphere, featuring a wide variety of eateries and accommodation. If there is one other thing that Cha-Am is famous for, it is definitely the 5 kilometre Long Beach. With Thai-style beach parties being a highlight, there are usually drinking and performance marathons along the shore. Banana boats are also available for those seeking some thrill on the water.

 

Cha-Am is located 25 kilometres north of Hua Hin, which has more facilities and entertainment to offer to tourists. Cha-Am also happens to be less costly as compared with other Thai cities. Because of this, it is frequently visited by older Europeans who want to escape winter back home to relax and take in the sun.

 

Car rental Cha-Am is available at Cha-Am hotels.

 

Hua Hin

 

Hua Hin is located 25 kilometres south of Cha-Am, Thailand. The city is known for its breathtaking scenery. In fact, it can also be considered as the most traditional Thai holiday destination. Something you probably did not know about Hua Hin is that it is still, until today, an active fishing port. This is why Hua Hin is the main holiday hotspot for not just foreigners, but Thai locals as well.

 

Hua Hin provides an impressive range of accommodation and eateries, where tourists and locals of all classes can choose from. For golf lovers, Hua Hin offers the highest density of gold courses that comply with international standards.

With all that being said, Hua Hin is by no means lacking in nightlife and shopping facilities. Exquisitely fresh and delicious seafood is served at seaside restaurants.

Khon Khaen is one of the “Big Four” cities of Isan, which encompasses Udon Thani, Khorat and Ubon Ratchathani. As compared with other established cities, Khon Khaen is relatively new in Thai history. Historical artefacts reveal that the culture is closely linked to the Khmer Empire, which once expanded its presence in the 12th century. This makes Khon Khaen nonetheless as culturally rich as other Thai cities. The city is an important commercial area in Northeast Thailand. It is also a university hub.

Nonetheless, it is a strategic pit stop for people who are travelling to the northern region of the country. It is also a great starting point to access the ancient Thai capital of Sukhothai.

Pranburi Hotel

Think Thailand is all party and nightlife? Think again. Tucked away about 30 kilometres from Hua Hin is a tranquil getaway destination called Pranburi.

It is an open secret that Thais who are tired of city life are making Pranburi their favourite coastal haunt. Many beautiful villas and holiday homes are mushrooming along the coastal route. Follow the road and it will bring you the Khao Kalok (Skull Mountain), a cliff that shelters a beautiful bay in the south. This particular beach has yet to be populated by mass tourism hence it holds appeal in its white sandy beaches amidst a peaceful backdrop. Travel further down south and you will find yourself in Dolphin Bay, featuring sightings of bottlenose dolphins and finless porpoise. Travel even further and you are rewarded with the views of the Khao Sam Roi Yot National Park.

Perhaps one of the reasons that Pranburi is most famous for is the production of dried squid. Every morning, fishermen dock their boats and unload the day’s catch and start with the drying process. Indeed an interesting sight for first-time visitors.

Car Rental Pranburi is available in Pranburi hotels.

 

Rayong Hotel

Rayong is home to many beautiful national parks and beaches.

The best thing is it doesn’t take too much effort to head to this paradise on earth! It is possible to fly into the island and take off into the sunset with a car rental Samui.

 

The island wasn’t the ultimate tourism choice back in its history. In the late 20th century, Samui was a self-sufficient island community that had little to do with mainland Thailand. Today, the island has decent infrastructure that enables everyone to travel around without fuss. The island is big enough for serious adventurers to explore yet compact enough to navigate with car rental in mere hours. Although mainstream tourism has crept upon its shores, there is still plenty of beauty amidst its white sandy beaches, lagoons, waterfalls and all the natural features.

 

Car Rental Samui is available in Samui Airport.

Surat Thani Airport

 

Surat Thani (sometimes abbreviated as Surat) is the largest Province in South Thailand. The name means “City of Good People” in Thai. It is the gateway to the islands of Thailand’s Gulf Coast, namely Koh Samui, Koh Phangan, Koh Tao and many more beautiful gems. Travellers usually go to Surat Thani as a pit stop before making their way to their beach destinations. Essentially, Surat Thani is not your typical Thai tourist town, so expect a more laidback vibe in this city before you set off to the excitement happening in the islands. If you love Southern Thailand food and colourful Chinese temples, linger just a bit more in this authentic city.

 

Car Rental Surat Thani is available in Surat Thani Airport.

Ubon Ratchathani Airport

If you fancy becoming one of the first people to view the sunrise of Thailand, then Ubon Ratchathani is the place to be. It is the easternmost province in Thailand, making it one of the first locations to be basked in glorious sunlight. In fact, there is a signboard on the Mekong River that says so.

The culture of Ubon is closely intertwined with neighbouring Cambodia and Laos. Historically, Ubon was part of the Khmer Empire before it was seized by the Kingdom of Ayutthaya back in the 17th century. Due to its rich cultural history, Ubon Ratchathani has the highest per capita density of Thai Buddhist Temples in all of Thailand.

Fondly known as Ubon, the province is the rice bowl of Thailand due to its service and agricultural industries. Some of the freshest produce and hottest chilli can be found here, making it quite a distinct gastronomic experience.

The city is also quite often dubbed the real Thailand, secluded by the voracious nightlife happening in Bangkok, some 629 kilometres away.

If you fancy a drive to the real Thailand and see what it has to offer, then make Ubon one of your stops to take in the sights, sounds and true culture.

Car Rental Ubon Ratchathani is available at Ubon Ratchathani Airport.

Udon Thani Airport

Udon Thani is often fondly referred to as Udon or Udorn, and should not be confused with Ubon Ratchathani. Located approximately 450 kilometres away from Bangkok, Udon Thani is the capital city of the Province of the same name.

Udon Thani is the gateway to experiencing the archaeological wonders from the Bronze Age civilisation, believed to have flourished more than 5,000 years ago. Fast forward today, the Northeastern Thai city is a bustling business centre due to its close proximity to Vientiane, the capital of Laos People’s Democratic Republic.

Due to Udon Thani’s strategic location, it is a major transportation hub for Northeastern Thailand. Udon Thani borders Nong Khai to the north, Khon Kaen to the south, Sakon Nakhon to the east and Nong Bua Lam Phu and Loei to the west.

The rest of Udon Thani is a rolling view of rice paddy fields, tropical forests and lush mountain ranges, namely the Phu Pan mountain which is also home to a majestic waterfall. Next to it, the Songkhram River is also a favourite destination for nature lovers.

Car Rental Udon Thani is available in the Udon Thani Airport.
