Re: wheelchair transfers
Have you asked them if they can stop en route from Bkk to HH?
If not, I'm sure a decent tip would persuade the driver on the day.
For what it's worth, it's been pretty miserable here recently...

Re: wheelchair transfers
If the Regent Cha Am are able to transfer you to Bangkok, could they not collect you from Hua Hin, or are you using a Bangkok based transport service?albaker wrote:Hi

Re: wheelchair transfers
I would try the hotel you are staying at in HH and ask them if they can provide/recommend somebody who can transfer you to Cha Am.albaker wrote:dtaai-maai wrote:Have you asked them if they can stop en route from Bkk to HH?

Re: wheelchair transfers
If you do a search for Wheelchair Thailand they have just what you are looking for. They also have a FB page.

Re: wheelchair transfers
Thanks , this is the company we will be using from airport to Hua Hin and from Regent Cha Am to airport .
To get them to pick us up from Hua Hin will cost 4500 baht !!!! as it would be classed as a return trip , they have to come down from Bangkok pickup us up , drop us off at Regent and then return to Bangkok < base > nothing wrong in this I would have done exactly the same with my courier company before I sold it / retired .
Thanks anyway for input .

Re: wheelchair transfers
deleted - misunderstood post.
....but the part I'll leave in is that when you get to Hua Hin, I would think you could do the short ride to Cha Am in the back of a pick up truck with someone in there with you to help stabilize things. I'm sure your Hua Hin hotel can find someone to help you, and perhaps more ideas coming from the forum here also in the coming days. Have a great holiday Pete

Re: wheelchair transfers
I have a 4 foot and a 3 foot folding ramp I could let you borrow. You would just need some local muscle to wheel them into a pick up or taxi.

Re: wheelchair transfers
Akamai Village Hua Hin is a development/resort specially built for the needs of disabled people.
I'm sure they have their own customised minibus - maybe you could give them a call.
