Alain DThe driver didn't seem to appreciate that seats had been paid for to accommodate luggage. In fact, he had the seats of a tourist who had paid for them removed. Half an hour later, we realized that this was to allow other passengers to board the train, who were waiting at the side of the road.

Achim DPunctual and fast all in all... But old van with inconvenient plastic seats which make you sweat. Many stops to drop off people but no stop for toilet. My friend was charged 200 Baht though his baggage was not oversized.

Rolf HThe car was very run down. Terrible suspensjon and seats worn out. This car belongs in the scrapyard! I have driven this route many times before, but this was by far the worst minivan I have ever been in. By the wa, I took the minivan leaving at 12.00 not 13.00.

Marie NI don't really understand why we need to arrive 1h before departure time if we book in advance online. I booked a 7am trip, arrived at 6.30am at the van station, and the van was already full. 2nd time it happens to me, annoying to wake up at 5am, to ride 6km by bicycle, for not having space in the trip you booked online (and paid for!)... Anyway, I waited for an hour and arrived safe in Hua hin, the trip only takes around 3hours, instead of the 4h hours announced ;)

Van from Bangkok to Hua Hin departs regularly according to the schedule and is a decent option to get to your destination at a reasonable price.

How long does it take to get from Bangkok to Hua Hin by van?
Vans cover the distance between Bangkok and Hua Hin in 3h 45m – 4h 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 Bangkok to Hua Hin 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 Hua Hin expect to pay from USD 6.36 to USD 13.29. The more convenient the ride, the more you pay – either for extra space or for less stops enroute. JKP Mochit (บจก.เจเคพีทรานสปอร์ต) is the cheapest operator on the route while Mama Travel and Tour (มาม่า 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.
