Limo Services

November 21st, 2007

Dear Mr. KIA: My wife and I have decided to relive the magical prom night we had back in high school. Yes, we were high school sweethearts; I was the prom king and she was my queen; and we made it official a year ago. So for our first anniversary, I want to make the night special by reenacting the whole scene. We’ve invited our old school friends to the anniversary ball and we’ll even be playing the sappy ‘90s pop tracks we danced to at the original. But one thing is missing: the perfect limo to pick us up and take us there. Is there a car company that provides a limo service? It would really make our night complete.—Prom King

Dear PK: Wow! That must be the corniest yet most romantic date I’ve ever heard of. I don’t remember my prom much as I think I was too drunk to give a damn; but I guess yours was incredible, being the prom king and all. I was one of those hiding at the back looking for opportunities to spike the punch, but I guess we all have different prom memories. Here’s a list of limo services that will give your reenactment that
finishing touch.

Limousine Express Group has many types of car on offer fromcorporate type Camrys to vintage Jaguars. You can book the rides by the hour (B900-1,500) or go for 24-hour standby at B18,000 to B20,000 depending on which limo you choose. For the vintage collection, it’s B3,500 by the hour and B40,000 for a whole 24-hour standby.

Image Limousine (Unit 406/20, Jomtien Plaza Condotel, Pattaya, 038-756-658. www.imagelimo.com) is based in Pattaya but it still offers rides within Bangkok. For airport transfer, the price starts at B1,500
one way depending on the type of vehicle. Cars come equipped with towels, chilled water, and even a CD collection. Stretched limo type is also available.

Bangkok Limousines has only a modest selection of cars but the rates are affordable. Half-day/full-day within Bangkok starts at B1,300; out-of-town starts at B2,200; and
around the country starts at B3,480. Unlike the others, however, tolls and parking fees are not included.
