Traveling on a regular passenger bus may have a number of restrictions, like not being able to choose your destination, or being unable to stop en route at various places during your journey. A fully customizable rental bus service would do the trick, but where do I find the best charter bus rental Thailand can provide? Are they the same as rental buses? Read on for some expert advice.
What is a bus rental service?
A bus rental service is an alternative form of customized private transport, ideally for large groups. The terms “bus” and “coach” are interchangeable here. The best charter coach Thailand has to offer will have had a service life of no more than 5 years, for the highest safety rating and latest technology; has an experienced driver at the helm; and has passed the rigorous training and tests of the Department of Transport.
Things to look for, in a bit more detail
Appropriateness of use, or fit. This means every member of your entourage should feel comfortably seated, and that the coach is suited for travel to your destination. For example, a double decker should not be driving up steep inclines, or navigating hairpin turns.
Observe the make and model of the vehicle. Ideally it will have had a service life of no more than 5 years, in order to ensure the best possible working condition and the latest in safety and technology.
Check with your bus rental service provider that the vehicle has been inspected and cleared for travel on the day of your departure.
Do they look trustworthy? Every charter bus Bangkok, or indeed Thailand, has running on the road must be registered with the Department of Land Transport. You may even check company records with the Department of Land Transport for a history of serious accidents.
Drivers ideally should have at least 5 years of experience, especially for longer distances; are knowledgable about the route to be taken; and trained directly with, or under the supervision of the Department of Transport. The correct driving license for buses in Thailand is a Type 2 or Type 3 license.
Look up your bus rental service provider. They should present themselves professionally, and have a portfolio of notable clients. The best ones tend to have regular clientele, and famous past clients.
Last but not least, look at the entertainment on offer. Long-haul journeys may be challenging, but technology has come a long way. At Patsornchai Tour, a premium sound system, LED TV screens, and free Wi-Fi often comes standard! With a plethora of other features on our more premium charter coaches.
Who is a bus rental service for?
- Groups of friends and families that wish to travel together, ranging from short excursions to interprovincial travel.
- Perhaps you may not be familiar with the best routes to take, and want to simply travel stress-free.
- Companies who want to take their employees out for company trips.
- Schools and educational organizations for school outings or excursions.
- Sports teams or athletes who need a speedy and reliable mode of transport to their next match or accommodation.
- Large family vacations who wish to offload the fuss of travel to a trusted bus service.

An Uptick in Local Travel?
Maybe you would love to travel but going overseas is out of the question at the moment? Covid-19 has brought about a practical halt to international travel, but this has seen a rise in domestic tourism, something Patsornchai Tour has long been a strong advocate for. Why not join in on the fun and experience what Thailand has to offer? For many of our clients, what was perhaps a once in a blue moon friends’ trip together in Thailand is now on a semi-regular schedule, which has seen more demand for our smaller 20-seat and 31-seat coaches. This has been a huge boon to the domestic tourism industry from lost international clients, and we at Patsornchai Tour are very proud to play our part in helping our fellow Thais.
With so many options, who should I go for?
If you are still uncertain about who to hire, at the very least you should be looking for a charter bus service that is trustworthy, upfront with you, and is legally verifiable. The charter bus or charter coach, whatever they might call it, should have had an operating lifetime of no more than 5 years, and regular safety checks should be in place. Patsornchai Tour ticks all those boxes, and then some.
To end
With over 25 years of experience, Patsornchai Tour is the flagship bus rental Bangkok has to offer. We have serviced some of the most distinguished individuals and groups of people to have visited Thailand, and we continue to provide the same high level of service to all our clients.
