Hello All,
    Wondering if any of you kind gentleman know of a van for hire service from Pattaya to Pimai. (Pimai is about 30-40 minutes northeast of Korat)
I'll be taking a bus down to Pattaya from Korat but will be traveling with my Brother on my return trip...and he's got a thing against buses.
Can anyone suggest a trusted service? Does anybody know the approximate cost?

Thanks for the help, and hope I may get a chance to meet some of you folks on my excursion...I'll buy a few rounds.

I appreciate your time,

Eric

speaking of which...I would also need a van but with an ENGLISH speaking driver....not fluent but reasonably good.

There is at least one, and he operates from around the Soi Diana area. Ask a few people around there.

Thanks for the reply,I shall do that if I can not get any concrete information. I was hoping to get my transport squared away before my arrival in Pattaya...If anyone knows a name or number of such a service It would be great. Perhaps I'm barking up the wrong tree in the Pattaya forum, I think I'll post a similiar thread in the Korat area. Again, thanks for your time.

I know it's off topic but phimai mean "New Year" in Thai but that also depends on the phonics, tone etc.

The town name Pimai (or Phimai) was actually taken from the local ruins. It was found repeatedly inscripted in stone at several sites, and scholars determined it may refer to the geographical area.
