Chiang Khan to Bangkok Van Charter from ฿9,700
A private van with driver from Chiang Khan back to Bangkok costs ฿9,700 per trip for a Toyota Commuter and ฿16,600 per trip for a Toyota Alphard. That is the charter price per vehicle one way, not per person, and it covers the driver, fuel, expressway tolls and bottled water on board. The fare table distance is 584 km and the drive takes about 7.5 to 9.5 hours including rest stops, depending on the pickup point and traffic. The way back leaves Chiang Khan through Loei town, then follows the Phetchabun road (Route 21) past Lom Sak and Phetchabun into Saraburi before Bangkok. We pick up at the guesthouses on the riverside street and at other points around Chiang Khan, and we drop at any home, condo or hotel in Bangkok, or at Suvarnabhumi and Don Mueang airports for the same price. If you are catching a flight, send the flight number and departure time so we can work out when to leave Chiang Khan and still leave room for check-in. On travel day you tap the button to say you are at the pickup point on your trip page, the driver comes to where you are standing and confirms with your 4-digit pickup code. A 50% deposit confirms the van and the balance is paid on the travel day. Book on LINE @kingtocar or call 084-709-3719.

Stops & places to visit
6 · Stops & places to visit
Phu Thok
A sunrise and sea-of-mist viewpoint near town; the last stretch is by local truck. To go up before driving back you have to start before first light, then set the van pickup for later in the morning.
Chiang Khan riverside street
The street along the Mekong with old wooden houses, cafés and gift shops, and the morning sticky-rice alms round. You can buy coconut candy before you leave, because the guesthouses and the pickup point are on this street.
Wat Si Khun Mueang
An old Lan Xang-style temple on the riverside street, close to the guesthouses, so it works as a short stop before departure. Dress modestly and check the opening hours before you go.
Kaeng Khut Khu
Rapids in the Mekong with riverside restaurants and the famous coconut candy. It lies the opposite way from the road to Bangkok, about 20 km there and back, so the morning before departure is the best time.
Loei town
The first sizeable town on the way home, about 50 km from Chiang Khan, with restaurants, coffee shops and large petrol stations, and almost no detour from the route.
Lom Sak
A district town on Route 21 halfway along the drive home, with restaurants and petrol stations — a good place to stretch your legs before the Phetchabun to Saraburi stretch.
The way back costs the same ฿9,700
A Toyota Commuter is ฿9,700 per trip and a Toyota Alphard ฿16,600 per trip. That is the charter price per vehicle, including driver, fuel, expressway tolls and bottled water. The return into Bangkok uses the same fare table as the outbound leg, with no surcharge for travelling back.
Pickup at your guesthouse on the riverside street
Most places to stay in Chiang Khan are on the riverside street, where the van can reach the door. The driver waits outside at the agreed time and your bags go straight in, instead of hauling them to the bus station in Loei town. If your guesthouse is down a narrow lane, send a Google Maps pin when you book.
Suvarnabhumi and Don Mueang for the same price
We drop at the departures terminal of either airport for the same fare as a home or hotel in Bangkok. Send your flight number and departure time when you book and we will work out the departure time from Chiang Khan, allowing for the 584 km and for check-in.
Stop in Loei, Lom Sak or Phetchabun on the way
All three towns sit on the road home, so a meal, a toilet break or a souvenir stop costs almost no detour. Mention it when you book so the driver can allow the time. For several stops or a long wait we will quote the hourly charter instead so you can compare before confirming.
A van sized for your group and luggage
The Toyota Commuter has 9–13 seats and suits larger groups, plenty of bags and boxes of souvenirs. The Toyota Alphard has 6–7 reclining captain seats, which is more comfortable over 584 km and suits families travelling with older relatives.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How much is a private van from Chiang Khan to Bangkok?
A Toyota Commuter is ฿9,700 per trip and a Toyota Alphard ฿16,600 per trip. That is the charter price per vehicle one way, not per person, and it covers the driver, fuel, expressway tolls and bottled water.
How far is Bangkok from Chiang Khan and how long does the drive take?
The fare table distance is 584 km and the drive takes about 7.5 to 9.5 hours including rest stops, depending on the pickup point and traffic. The road passes Loei, Lom Sak, Phetchabun and Saraburi, and the end of a long weekend can take longer.
Where can you pick us up in Chiang Khan, and can you drop at the airport?
We pick up at your guesthouse on the riverside street, or at any other address in Chiang Khan town. Yes, we drop at the departures terminal of Suvarnabhumi or Don Mueang, at the same ฿9,700 as a home, condo or hotel in Bangkok. If you are staying outside Chiang Khan town, send the name of the place when you book so we can confirm the fare first.
What is included in the fare and what is charged separately?
Included: the whole vehicle with driver, fuel, expressway tolls and bottled water on board. Charged separately: meals, accommodation, admission fees, a child seat or booster at ฿300 each per booking, and waiting time beyond the hours agreed, at ฿600 per hour for a Commuter or ฿1,300 per hour for an Alphard.
Should we take the Commuter or the Alphard for the drive back?
Take the Commuter at ฿9,700 if you are 7 or more, or if you have a lot of bags and souvenirs: it seats up to 9 with 8 large bags, or 12 with 3 bags. Take the Alphard at ฿16,600 if you are 6 or fewer and want the reclining captain seats, which are easier on a long drive and suit older travellers.
Is the way back the same price as Bangkok to Chiang Khan?
Yes. Both directions come from the same fare table: ฿9,700 for a Toyota Commuter and ฿16,600 for a Toyota Alphard per vehicle, one way. You can book the two legs together or separately; if you book both, send the dates and times for each and we will confirm the combined total before you pay.
How do we book the van back to Bangkok, and what deposit is needed?
The deposit is 50% of the fare, with the balance paid on the travel day. To book, send your date and time, the pickup address in Chiang Khan, your destination in Bangkok, the number of passengers and the number of bags on LINE @kingtocar or call 084-709-3719. The team then creates the booking and sends you the booking number and the booking page on our website. Cancel at least 3 days before travel for a full refund of the deposit.
Can we stop on the way back to Bangkok?
Yes. Places on the road home such as Loei town, Lom Sak and Phetchabun are short stops with almost no detour; mention them when you book so the driver can allow the time. For several stops, a day of sightseeing or a long wait, the team will quote the hourly charter so you can compare before confirming.
