Koh Lanta to Bangkok Destination Reviews

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.

The transfer vehicle was late by 1.5 hours. There was no communication at all on any point of the journey. The night bus was in no way what I would call a VIP sleeper bus - incredibly uncomfortable. Food and drink was not provided and there wasn't any WiFi

From Koh lanta to Bangkok. You take a couple of vans, and then you arrive to the main bus. We used the VIP bus and it was comfortable. Overall good experience.

The pick up was great. Minivan found our hostel and driver was helpful. The large coach was not so great and smelt of urine

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.
