Had to swap vehicle twice. Driver ended up doing several errands rather than getting us from A to B.

The driver came 30min late. On the way to Koh Lanta we had to change to another van. The new driver stopped to pickup one package from one shop and deliver to another one without apologizing or mentioning it to anyone. We reached our destination 1h after the expected arrival time. Use this only if you don’t mind facing the issues above.

Quick, safe driving. Comfortable seats that recline. Effective air conditioning. Perfect comfortable ride. Highly recommend. The driver has to pick up people from multiple stops, so don't fret if they don't make it right on time. My pickup window was 11:00 am to 11:30 am and my driver arrived at 11:35 and I was pleasantly surprised. I guess everyone was punctually ready and waiting for their pickup . I'd recommend, out of courtesy to other riders, to be ready on time and willing to wait. I'd book with them again whenever I have a chance to.

We were collected from our hotel early which is always a positive! Once I’m the mini bus the air conditioning was very good. Unfortunately for me about 1:30hour into the journey I started being sick (due to food poisoning) the driver pulled over immediately to allow me to get some fresh air. He did not rush me at any point and kept checking that I was okay. He reassured me we’re we’re not far from the ferry. Once in the ferry I remained in the mini van with the kind driver coming to check I was okay at least 2 more times. Myself and my partner were the last stop for the driver at the bottom of Koh Lanta and again he pulled the van over for me to be sick again and checked I was okay to continue. I could not fault the service provided to me. I would just like to make people aware that despite the trip being advertised at a 2:30hours journey it did take close to 4 hours (minus our 2 little breaks).

They arrived 1h before the time estimated, we were not ready and they waited for us 15 minutes. We took an amazing van to de bus station when we switched to a tiny one. The driver was very fast and we arrived on time at 12.30 to the hotel! Really nice trip!

How long does it take to get from Ao Nang to Koh Lanta by van?

Vans cover the distance between Ao Nang and Koh Lanta in 2h 40m – 4h 45m hours. Do note that though vans usually stick to their schedule, your journey can take longer if traffic is excessive or the weather is bad. The worst periods in the sense of violation of the timetable is long weekends, national holidays, school vacations and peak season. With roads stuck with traffic do expect delays. Stormy weather with heavy rains or snowfalls can also cause your arrival time to change. Yet in general you can rely on the timing declared by the operator.

How much does it cost to get from Ao Nang to Koh Lanta 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 Koh Lanta expect to pay from USD 11.56 to USD 21.67. The more convenient the ride, the more you pay – either for extra space or for less stops enroute. Phantip 1970 (พันทิพย์ 1970) is the cheapest operator on the route while Jijie Tour and Travel (จีจี้ ทัวร์ แอนด์ ทราเวล) 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.
