Arrival & Departure Time
Unless otherwise agreed:
- Arrivals are usually from 3:00PM (15:00).
- Departures are usually by 11:00AM (11:00).
Flight Arrival Details
We need to know the airline, flight number, arrival time and where you departed from. This helps us know which part of the airport to be waiting to meet you and at what time. We can also monitor online flight resources to check if your flight is running ahead of or behind schedule.
Airport Transport
We usually arrange your airport transfer but the minivan+driver are paid directly by the guests (about 1,000THB per mininvan). Minivans can seat 13 people, but remember, luggage has to go somewhere too. If you and your luggage can't fit all in the same vehicle, a secondary vehicle might need to be hired/paid for. Note: Airport transfers do not have baby seats. If you want one, please bring one with you.
If you're flying in but don't need airport transfer, please tell us.
Hotel Transfer
If you're staying in a local hotel prior to staying at our villa, we can arrange your hotel transfer (from any location within Chiang Mai city center). We need to know the hotel name and website address so that we can lookup the address/location and phone number.
Arrival Day, Daily Hire Minivan+Drive
It's possible that your arrival day would benefit from a daily-hired minivan and driver, instead of a taxi style one-way transfer. Often beneficial when you have multiple arrivals in the same day from different flights. If that's the case, we can arrange the minivan+driver for you. See the next section about this.
Daily Hire Minivan + Driver
Unless you're expecting to make your own travel arrangements around Chiang Mai during your stay, (ie. by hire-car or by requesting transport as you need it), we highly recommend the rental of a daily minivan + driver. Please let us know if you would like this service or not. The current charge is 2,000 THB per day + gasoline (driver included).

Usually, lunch time has already past when you arrive but it is listed here for those with Early Arrivals agreed. The following options are what we can provide on Arrival Day. Other days, we have a much larger selection available and our villa manager will discuss that with you.
