Not a VIP buss at all, had way better buses on other trips in Thailand. The pickup was not in time, and it was a small van with non working AC completely full with other people, and was stuck for a couple of hours in that van, before next stop that only had water and chips as only option for food. And then another van again, complete full again, and then another stop and now it’s around 6 in the evening, nobody informs you about what’s going on. And here we had to stay for another hour and they only had two options of food which was laying in plastic boxes in the outside temperature.. and if you don’t want food poisoning you can’t eat that. And then finally a buss after more than half of the trip, also completely full, no possibility too charged your phone. One stop after that in the middle of the night, and then we arrived at 5:20 in Bangkok. All in all not a good experience, but we made it to Bangkok.

They get you to your destination, but the bus conditions are not the best. The bus wasn’t clean, it was uncomfortable and quite old. You also have to wait many hours between the van and the bus

I was really happy about my experience. I accidentally forgot my sweater in the bus and the operator made a really big effort to find it and on the same they they gave me back my sweater. The trip was good. Def would recommend!

2 vans transfer that wasn't explicitly told. No informations about when pause, how much time... And the worst : the bus place was very bad : a non-folding seat, impossible to sleep in a "night bus", no seat belt, shaky driving, no functional socket for charging the phone... Oh and I almost forget : almost 2 hours late for the pickup, without having been warned !

Terrible organisation. No one answered the hotline. No instructions on where to wait or who to speak to. Could have easily gotten left behind

1hour and 45 minutes late and didn’t answer until 5 calls later. I also paid extra for a ticket with food included but I had to pay for that myself anyways.

Van

Vans are a great alternative - or, in many cases - your only option - if you need to travel overland within one and the same province or neighbouring provinces or states. Vans ply the roads between Koh Lanta and Bangkok, too.

Things to remember: When travelling by van with huge luggage buying a separate seat for your suitcase or backpack is a good idea. Do not expect there is a roomy luggage compartment in a van - there is actually none and your fellow passengers are unlikely to appreciate your luggage stuck under their feet, alas.
