Going from Phuket to Sam Phan Bok (Grand Canyon of Thailand)?

The trip is about 1610 km and takes around 21 h without long stops. One fixed price per car, not per person.
Sam Phan Bok in Pho Sai district, Ubon Ratchathani, is a stretch of Mekong riverbed where water has carved the sandstone into thousands of holes and basins, earning it the nickname Thailand's Grand Canyon. It only emerges in the dry season, roughly December to May, when the river drops, and lies completely underwater in the rainy months.
Our driver picks you up anywhere in Phuket, drives the route below and waits if you book a return. Fixed price per car, tolls and fuel included.
