Ao Nang to Khao Sok Destination Reviews

MD
Trip was longer than expected, we had to transfer from the first van (really nice men, great van) to another one, a rude woman shouted at us to “get out” and hurry into another van. Trip was overall ok, but could be way better.

Had to change vans several times which was a bit confusing but the vans were comfortable and the AC worked well.

The arrival was 75 min to late. The taxi driver seemed to take a detour to pick up and deliver packages.

Bus was fine, but dropped us at the Koa Sok bus station, not our accomodation like it says. In Krabi, they even asked for our hotel name

We were dropped of at a small restaurant in Krabi. They said that we would have to wait 30 minutes for the other mini-van that would take us to Khao Sok. However we waited for around 2 hours… We should have arrived at 15:10 but we arrived 16:45. Terrible.

Normally we would drive 4 hours and 40 minutes. We get there 1,5 hours before. We were surprised about that it was that quick. We took a break for 15 minutes that we can buy some drinks. I can recommend that trip !

Great service! Due to traffic, we arrived a little late at the pick-up point, but the driver was waiting after we communicated quickly and easily with the organization. The seats were also comfortable and we reached our destination even faster.

If you are lucky enough to get it, you may have more space and definitely a better view there.

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.
