Was supposed to be a hotel pick up, ferry, bus transfer and the ferry but was put on a bus right away for 4hrs and then ferry. Got stuffed into the back extra row of seats with all the luggage and kept hitting our heads off the roof. Staff was great though

The only bad experience was the support. I want to change my pick up address, unfortunately it’s not possible, and when I contact the support, only messages that i recive was some chatbot. Also the pick up time wasn’t explaind well

Globally everything good. First a van, then we changed to a bus where we had to pay 200 bahts because one suitcase was 3 cm to big for their rules, then we had a boat and finally we were divided between vans to transfer us to our hotel. Quite annoying to pay more for the suitcase when it doesn't make any difference for them, but it is written in the reservation.

Little bit late picking up but other than that, everything went smoothly. Easy to navigate as a solo traveller.

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 Koh Samui, 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.
