Phantip clearly have loads of experience of moving people between places, linking up trips so one person arriving from one place gets a van that’s arrived from somewhere else. It was impressive and of course comfortable. I will be using them again on my trip

First driver was nice and nice Vehikel! 2nd Car AC smelled strong like mold and was tiny as fuck. Couldn’t even move my feeds for 3h. Wife from driver FaceTimed whole trip very loud. Very bad.

We got there in the end...we arrived 2,5 hours later than the ticket was for and had to change van in krabi after an hour's wait. And also here packets were picked up an delivered along the way. In this case the timing was not a problem, but if you have a flight to catch, you need to be wary.

Pick up was a bit unclear, but it all worked out without issues. The transfer in Krabi was smooth, no issues with our luggage. We even arrived way ahead of time :)

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 Surat Thani and Koh Lanta, 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.
