The van starts the pick up at the designated time, so we ended up waiting for more than an hour. Other than that the drove directly and safely to the destination.

I tried to contact this company multiple times to confirm our transfer. The live chat link and phone number on the booking voucher don’t work. I had to ask another operator who’d contacted me about an outward journey, and ask them to chase as the number they provided wasn’t responding. 20 minutes before pick up they let me know they’d be late, and showed later than that. We were taken to a bus that didn’t leave for another hour, yet would’ve made an earlier one had they been on time. It was a lot of waiting around when the pick up option could’ve just been much later to avoid that.

Very good personal service. Made us feel like vips. Personal message through mail then through whatsapp. They were 30min earlier and thus on time. We were a bit late ourselves and they called and waited for us. Smooth drive and very good driver. We were perfectly on time at our hotel. Definitely recommended.

Very unfriendly service at the Khao Sok minivan office as well as by our driver from Khao Sok to Surat Thani. No explanations of where to go, not answering any questions. Driver stopped multiple times just to chat with locals, smoke a sigaret or pick up a friend. From Surat Thank the service was better, although we arrived at the ferry 2 hours early which just sucked. Missed a whole day by travelling. We also weren’t that we were stopping in Surat Thani. 2 stars because we did arrive at our location in one piece. We would recommend paying zxtra for better service, although the options are limited in Khao Sok.

How much does it cost to get from Ao Nang to Khao Sok by van?

Opposite to, say, buses, normally vans do not offer a great variety in the sense of ticket class hence the price of the ticket is the same for all seats in a van. Note that some seats offer more comfort during the ride. E.g. in some vans the passenger seat by the driver is also available. If you are lucky enough to get it, you may have more space and definitely a better view there. Similarly, in some vans seats in the back row may be a disappointment as they do not recline due to the trunk filled with travellers’ luggage.

To hop onto a van between Ao Nang and Khao Sok expect to pay from USD 11.39 to USD 93.53. The more convenient the ride, the more you pay – either for extra space or for less stops enroute. Phichet Transport is the cheapest operator on the route while Koh Ngai Camping (เกาะไหง แคมป์ปิ้ง) is the most expensive one.

Travelling by van essentials

  • Ensure to check carefully from where your van departs. In many cases vans are stationed not at the city main bus station but elsewhere. Individual van operators may have their own van stops located anywhere, and one and the same operator may sell tickets to their vans from different stops. If you are planning a bus-van connection, be sure you understand where to catch your van as it is easy to assume that vans leave from the same station where buses arrive. No, it is not necessarily so!
  • There are different types of vans accommodating from 9 to 15 or more passengers. While on certain routes you have no alternative, on others you can choose. The rule of thumb – fewer seats mean more leg space and more comfort. As well as more money for your ticket. But this is probably the case when it is worth investing into your seat a bit more.
  • Vans accommodating more passengers are often cramped and do not provide any additional space for your luggage. In many cases your ticket will include only one piece of luggage, often with limited weight. If you travel with huge suitcases or backpacks you may want – or even need – to buy an extra seat for your luggage. Before booking an extra seat for your luggage though do check with the operator if they allow it. If you did buy a separate seat for your luggage, and the driver during the way tries to pick up an extra passenger to put on a “vacant” seat, insist on right to use it as you paid for it.
  • There are obviously no on board toilets in vans but if your journey lasts over two or three hours there will normally be one or more bathroom stop(s) enroute. During the bathroom stop, take a note of your van number plate when you get off. It will make it easier for you to find the van among similar vehicles and in an unhappy case (hypothetically!) of van leaving without you, you can at least report it to the operator.
  • Van drivers are notorious for their driving style. Though many companies enforce strict speed limits on their vehicles they are often not observed. This is probably a major downside of van travel in some countries. Anyway, if speed limits are violated do not be shy to ask the driver to go slower. Normally there will be an information plate with the telephone numbers to call if your driver violates traffic rules – report each such case without hesitation. Also, do leave your review if not satisfied with the service to warn other travellers.
  • It is compulsory to use belts for all the van passengers. Even if your driver does not insist on it, use the belt for your own safety. Belts are sometimes fixed behind your seat – do not hesitate to release them and use as they are intended to be used.
  • Many vans do not have scheduled departures but depart when full. Sometimes waiting periods can be long, especially if you happen to come immediately after the previous van has departed or just in the end of the day when there are not so many passengers. Always make sure you understand whether your ticket is for a scheduled trip or otherwise. Normally operators who allow online booking of their tickets, provide scheduled service meaning your van will depart on time no matter how many passengers show up for the trip.
