What is a police escort in Thailand?
A police escort in Thailand, for a private group, is a licensed private security lead car that keeps your vans together from the airport to the villa, with no sirens, no lights and no police uniforms.
Your vans leave Suvarnabhumi, the lead car pulls out in front, and the driver stays in radio contact all the way down Motorway 7, so nobody gets separated at the toll. Serving police officers aren't for hire, and a police motorcade can't be bought. Ask Tanner how the convoy works.
Can you hire police in Thailand?
No. You can't hire police in Thailand for a private escort. What you can book is licensed private security: plain-clothes staff in an unmarked lead car, licensed under the Security Guard Business Act B.E. 2558. The lead car keeps the convoy together, the team checks each stop first, and the group arrives together. Ask Tanner for the licences.
How does a VIP escort from Bangkok to Pattaya work?
A VIP escort from Bangkok to Pattaya is the airport run with a lead car: about 2 hours from Suvarnabhumi on Motorway 7. The lead car meets the vans at the kerb, keeps the convoy together in radio contact, leads them through the city and checks the villa gate before the group gets out.
The vans are priced on their own: our party van is ฿3,500 each way for up to 10, and a luxury van is from ฿6,500 for 10 hours for up to 4. Ask Tanner to plan the route.

Which is best: a lead car or a bodyguard?
A lead car is best for the road, and a bodyguard is best for the people. A private security convoy also works for a big night: a lead car to Walking Street and back, and a licensed guard at the door of your VIP section, ฿9,000 for an 8-hour shift. For cover that stays with the people, see our bodyguards, then add the Pattaya nightclubs and the VIP transport. Plan it with Tanner.
Who do you call in an emergency?
In an emergency in Pattaya, call the Tourist Police on 1155: it's free and English-speaking. The police are on 191, and medical emergencies are on 1669. The Tourist Police's I Lert U app sends an alert straight to the 1155 emergency centre and lets responders find your phone by GPS, according to the Thai government's travel guide. Ask Tanner to add the numbers to your plan.
