About Axara Travel

While obviously not the cheapest way to get around or move between intercity destinations, a taxi trip is a great way for those who do not like restrictions of fixed schedules and routes. With taxis offering convenient and customized door-to-door service, it is easy to tailor-make your trip by adding the extras you need – for example, a car seat. Normally you can choose a car of a certain class or a bigger vehicle to accommodate your party. To ensure you will get the best service, do negotiate in advance if you need to call several places enroute or make additional stops for meals or sightseeing.

Axara Travel operates a fleet of taxis that can be easily booked online. Before you go, read other travellers’ reviews – they will help understand what to expect from your ride.

The nice thing about taxis is that they do not follow the fixed routes but bring you wherever you need to go. Yet according to the operator statistics, many travellers order Axara Travel’s taxis to travel the following routes:

Axara Travel Prices & Taxi Classes

Axara Travel’s fleet consists of cars of different classes and sizes. Choose the one which suits you best and meets your requirements for comfort and the number of passengers. It pays to check rates for all classes the operator offers as sometimes the difference between standard and comfort classes is insignificant, yet if you opt for a higher class, you can travel with much more convenience, legroom, and luggage space just paying extra very little. It is especially true for
vans as often there are good discounts on these vehicles which allow you to enjoy a more comfortable ride.

Travel by Taxi: Pros & Cons

Pros of Taxi Travel

  • Travelling by taxi allows you to avoid crowded bus terminals
    and train stations and keep social distancing which is a good point for those on alert to the pandemic challenges.
  • With a taxi, you have complete flexibility – depart when it is more convenient for you, plan enroute stops for rest or meals, and choose the route you want – not necessarily the shortest one. Yet do remember that it is better to discuss all these points with the operator before your trip to
    allow them to calculate the cost which will include all add-ons. Otherwise, the final bill can be an unpleasant surprise.
  • Taxis can bring you to destinations that are not served by any other means of public transport. The most remote villages and locations where no buses or trains bring you can be reached by taxi. The good point is to remember that it is sometimes pays to book a round trip to and from such destinations as it can be challenging to find return transport without prior booking.

Cons of Taxi Travel

  • Cost is the major drawback of a taxi ride. You will definitely end up paying more for a taxi than for a bus or train journey, but it is quite natural that private service does come at a price, so be ready to shell out.
  • Also be ready to pay more for any detours or extra stops not included into the calculation of your fare. Normally the price shown in search results is the net price for the ride from point A to B. To avoid disappointment, remember to mention all your requirements to the trip before you book. Otherwise, your car may be assigned for the next trip, and the driver will not be able to follow your immediate requests.
  • Music or just talkative taxi drivers can be a problem – politely insist on switching off the music if you do not feel like listening to it and do not hesitate to tell the driver you are not inclined to keep up the conversation.
  • Taxi drivers are notorious for their love to use strange routes or minor roads which – as
    they may think – allow them to beat traffic jams or escape bad roads. If you follow your trip route on Google Maps, it can be quite disturbing to see you deviate from Google’s recommendations.

It was exciting to watch the whole loading process and the night was a little rocking, well air-conditioned or a little cool and very pleasant until you were gently woken up with the light on

Can’t condemn it too much, it’s probably just the nature of the thing. Not a good alternative available, anyway; but the sleeping quartes were in a windowless cargo hold with no ventilation. Woke with a nasty cough feeling rather unrested.

We arrived at Axara Travel office in Chumpon about 15 minutes before the departure to the ferry boat. Instructions from 12go on how to get there were clear. Staff were waiting for us and there was only one other traveller. We were offered 20 minutes to grab some food first as we just arrived from Bangkok; we opted to go straight to the pier and have some food there instead. We chose this service as we were not sure which pier to embark from for the ferry to koh Tao. As it turned out it was quite a distance and we could have easily turned up at the wrong pier had we had to make our own way. The ferry was excellent. Beds were clean and neat with pillow and blanket. It can get colder at night, a light jacket and socks would help on top of the blanket provided. toilets were clean. Lights were switched off once sailed off. Views of fishing boats all along the estuary were great as ferry was leaving the port (just a few minutes later than scheduled, 9pm). Sea was calm. Waking up a few times feeling the cold but couldn't be bothered to grab my socks and an extra layer, otherwise it was comfortable. Ferry docked an hour later than scheduled, at 4am. You're allowed to stay on board until a bit later. We're the last people getting off at 6am. Nothing was opened on the island in those hours but thankfully we had made arrangements with our hotel

I woke up shivering from the insanely cold air-conditioning. No one told me where to get a blanket or offered me one. Other bunks had multiple up as curtains and for sleeping. Wasn't able to find an available one so went out of the dorm and layed down on the hard ground under the stairs. We arrived about 4:30 which was fine as it was one of the much closer piers up the river/inlet.

The Trip was ok and the driver accomodated to the earlier arrival. However the price was far too high. Iwould have expected to pay 1/4 th of the price 12go asked.
