Bangkok to Sai Yok Van Charter with Driver from ฿4,500
Sai Yok lies in Kanchanaburi province, about 250 km from Bangkok or three and a half to four hours away. The district is known for its raft houses on the Khwae Noi river, dense green hills and waterfalls that pour directly into the water. Kingtocar arranges private van charters to Sai Yok with a driver at one flat price, from your Bangkok door to the pier or resort entrance. Many raft houses are reached by boat from a landing, so we drop you there and arrange the return pick-up in advance.

Stops & places to visit
6 · Stops & places to visit
Sai Yok Noi and Sai Yok Yai waterfalls
Sai Yok Noi sits beside the road and is easy for older visitors and children. Sai Yok Yai, inside the national park, tumbles straight into the Khwae Noi and has a photogenic suspension bridge.
Lawa Cave
A large limestone cave on the Khwae Noi with several chambers of formations, usually reached by boat from the raft houses. Allow around 45 minutes and wear non-slip shoes.
Hellfire Pass
A memorial to the Death Railway cutting that prisoners of war hacked through the hillside in the Second World War, with a museum and walking trail — quiet and deeply informative.
Bridge over the River Kwai and the Death Railway
In Kanchanaburi town on the way to Sai Yok. You can walk the bridge and ride the train along the Tham Krasae cliffside stretch, the most scenic part of the line.
Mallika R.E. 124
A recreated Siamese town from the reign of King Rama V, with period dress and traditional food, between Kanchanaburi town and Sai Yok — enjoyable for families and photography.
Erawan National Park
Kanchanaburi's famous seven-tier waterfall, on a slightly different road from Sai Yok. To see both, plan a two-day trip or a daily charter rather than rushing.
Drop-off at the boat landing
Many raft houses on the Khwae Noi are reached by boat. We deliver you and your luggage to the landing and agree a return pick-up timed to the boat.
Flat ฿4,500 per trip
฿4,500 for a Toyota Commuter and ฿10,500 for a Toyota Alphard, including fuel, tolls, the driver and bottled water, with nothing added on arrival.
Combine with Kanchanaburi town
The Bridge over the River Kwai, the Allied war cemetery and Hellfire Pass all sit en route. Tell us your preferred stops when booking and we will allow the time.
Well suited to raft-house stays
Most raft trips run two days and one night. Either send the van home and book a return pick-up, or keep it with you for ฿500 per night driver accommodation — whichever costs less.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How long is Bangkok to Sai Yok?
About three and a half to four hours via Nakhon Pathom and Kanchanaburi town. Add one to two hours if you want to stop at the River Kwai bridge. Leave early so you reach the boat landing in time for the raft transfer.
Can the van reach the raft house?
It depends on the property. Some roadside rafts are directly accessible, while mid-river rafts need a boat from a landing. We deliver you and your luggage to the landing — give us the raft name at booking and we will confirm which pier and what time the boat runs.
What is included in ฿4,500?
Fuel, tolls, the driver and bottled water. It is a flat one-way whole-vehicle price. Boat transfers, national park fees, accommodation and ฿500 per night driver accommodation are separate.
What happens to the van during an overnight raft stay?
Two options. Either the van returns to Bangkok and comes back at an agreed time matched to your boat, with no accommodation charge; or the van and driver stay locally for ฿500 per night, which suits itineraries with further stops the next day.
Can we combine Erawan and Sai Yok in one trip?
Possible but very rushed as a day trip — they are on different roads about an hour and a half apart. Plan two days and one night, or a daily charter. Send the itinerary on LINE and we will sequence it without backtracking.
On a full-day charter, what if we go over the time or distance?
If the van and driver stay with your group all day (same-day return or sightseeing stops), packages start at 12 hours · 360 km (Commuter ฿7,500 / Alphard ฿18,000). Extra time is ฿300 per hour for the Commuter or ฿600 per hour for the Alphard, and extra distance is ฿25/km (Commuter) or ฿45/km (Alphard). Entrance tickets are extra, and if you add stops or change plans along the way, we always tell you the price difference first. One-way transfers (Commuter ฿4,500 / Alphard ฿10,500) are a fixed fare with no extra time or distance charges. For this route a same-day return is about 540 km, so the total including extra distance is Commuter ฿12,000 / Alphard ฿26,100.
