Uber and Grab
The language barrier is not a problem anymore! Uber and Grab are the popular mobile ride-sharing applications that allow you to book the taxi service or personal driver at your fingertips.
Both of them are very similar but we highly recommend you to use Grab because it provides more car options than Uber. You can select a GrabCar Economy (mid-size sedan private car), GrabTaxi, Grab Rot Daeng or GrabCar+ Premium (luxury private car) depending on your mood and occasion.
After you download the applications from either App Store or Google Play Store, you can set the destination point, select the car’s option (different prices shown in advance), and book the trip.
Although using mobile ride-sharing apps would be the wise decision for the short distance, sometimes when your destination is further away, you might fail to get grab a car. It can be hard to get one especially if you want to go to some interesting attractions around Chiang Mai city such as Chiang Rai, Pai, and Mae Hong Son which take 3~6 hours from Chiang Mai city. In this case, we highly recommend you to book Chiang Mai ↔ Chiang Rai/Pai/Mae Hong Son/Sukhothai Transfer – Private Taxi via Trazy. You can choose either Sedan (2 passengers), SUV (4 passengers), or Minibus (9 passengers) depend on the number of your trip members.
