MuvMi runs electric tuk-tuks you book in an app. Most rides are shared with others heading the same way, with pick-up and drop-off at points the app sets, and the price is shown before you book — no haggling. It suits short hops inside its service areas; its regular zones don't yet include the Thonburi side, but ICONSIAM is inside the area of its Travel Pass for visitors. Here's how far it works for guests on our side, and when to use something else.

Check two things before relying on MuvMi

Get signed up before you head outSeveral users report that sign-up needs a Thai mobile number to receive the code. If you already have a Thai SIM or eSIM, go ahead. If not, try your own number first — and if it won't go through, use Grab or Bolt instead.

How it works, step by step

  1. Download and sign up: get the MuvMi app from the App Store or Google Play; it's available in English.
  2. Top up in the app: pay from My Wallet (top it up first) or a MuvMi Pass, then scan the QR code in the app before you board.
  3. Choose pick-up and drop-off: pick from the points the app shows on the map, enter the number of passengers and check the price before confirming.
  4. Book a little ahead: cars come in rounds and may pick others up on the way, so if you're on a schedule, book early.
  5. Wait at the pick-up point: follow the car in the app, and show your booking to the driver when you board.

MuvMi also runs electric boats

The same app books electric boat taxis on Khlong Phadung Krung Kasem and Khlong Bang Lamphu. They run in the daytime and stop near Hua Lamphong, Nang Loeng Market and Phra Sumen Fort — our electric-boat guide explains how to get there from the hotel.

Small tips from us

Common questions

Can I book MuvMi from the hotel?

It depends on whether the hotel is inside a service area at the time — the areas keep changing. Open the app to find the nearest pick-up point. If there isn't one, take the Gold Line to ICONSIAM or Krung Thon Buri and book from there, or use Grab or Bolt.

Do I need a Thai phone number?

Several users report that sign-up needs a Thai mobile number to receive the code. Try your own number first; if it fails, use a Thai SIM or eSIM, or use Grab and Bolt, which you can sign up for with your own number.

How is it different from Grab?

MuvMi is a shared electric tuk-tuk that picks up and drops off at set points inside its service areas — good for short hops. Grab is a private car to any door, better for late nights, big bags or longer trips.
