Sanjey MTo bumpy for the tire pressure too high

Michael Very comfortable Van with comfortable seats, WiFi available.
We were the only passengers, so it felt like a private car ride.
We would book there next time again

Mara SThe bus broke down and the driver dropped us off at some courier company along the way, with no clear indication of what was going to happen or when we would be on the road again. Just said the bus was overheating. Nobody at the courier company could answer any questions in English either. It was very frustrating.
When we reached Siem Reap, instead of the driver taking us straight away to our drop-off point, he stopped at a restaurant about 2kms away from the arrival point and we were told to have lunch there or wait for an hour. I could not wait as I had classes to attend, so I got my own transport from there to my hotel. We were not informed at any point that we would be making this 1-hour stop.

Maximilian The food was not very good. They don't even have vegetarian option. And no English was spoken. The bus had 0 space for the legs and the toilet sink was not unable. Well and the worst thing is that you cant control the airflow if the ac. They manipulated it with a screw so there is always airflow even if it is too cold already. I have a cold now. Thanks for that. The but was arriving and departing at the right time and I think tge staff was nice to say anything good. I wouldn't travel there again when I have another choice.

Philippe CIt's not easy to find the starting address, and 12 go doesn't help more than that concerning this information.

Nigel RWould’ve given five stars but the driver drove past my hotel 7 km and we had to get a taxi back he wouldn’t take us on the return trip and drop us off.

Jonathan Departure address given was incorrect. Departure address given for Travel Mart was Khao San road Bangkok. The actual address is many blocks away in a totally different street. I almost missed the departure because of this. Fortunately a tuk-tuk driver knew the actual address.
Please fix this for other travellers to avoid the stress that I experienced!

How much does it cost to get from Bangkok to Aranyaprathet 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 Bangkok and Aranyaprathet expect to pay from USD 9.82 to USD 13.00. The more convenient the ride, the more you pay – either for extra space or for less stops enroute. Soidao Tour is the cheapest operator on the route while Mevis Transport 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.
