Kanokwan Travel uses different vehicles as taxis. Depending on the number of people in your group and your requirements to comfort levels you can choose the class of the vehicle which suits your best. A useful piece of advice – check the rates of a higher class vehicle even if you are comfortable to go with standard class. For example, sometimes operators offer huge discounts on vans, and a van taxi may cost you the same or almost the same as a standard class car but it is definitely more comfortable to travel by van as it has more legroom and luggage space.

Pros of Taxi Travel

• Travelling by taxi gives you flexibility in terms of the departure time, route, and stops along the way. The only thing to remember is to inform your taxi operator of your requirements in advance so they can calculate the right fare for you. Otherwise, the final bill can be higher than expected
• Taxi is the best means of transport which allows you to keep social distancing during the pandemic.
• Taxi may be the only means of transport available to bring you to some destinations where there is no train, bus, or van connection, not to speak about planes.

Cons of Taxi Travel

• Taking a taxi can be costly compared to van or bus travel. Well, but private service does come at a price, so no surprise here
• You may have to pay extra for any unexpected deviation from the route or waiting time if it occurs. Do discuss your every request in advance and make sure it is included into the calculation of your fare.
• If you speak the same language, some taxi drivers can be annoyingly talkative.
• For nervous passengers who follow the trip on Google Maps it can be quite disturbing if your taxi driver chooses to take a weird route, a shortcut, or just to make a detour to avoid traffic jams or a bad road.
