Barry We arrived early like they ask and was put on an earlier mini bus which was great. Traffic was good and stopped halfway for toilet break and the trip was faster than expected. Driver was nice and chatted to us

Lukas WWe arrived one hour before departure for checkin and were seated in an earlier Van so we had no waiting time - great. The seats had no legroom - uncomfortable but expected, so not a problem for three hours drive. We booked a luggage seat which was not used - but better having it than needing it. Van arrived on time, driver told us when to get off.

Cassandra DThe driver was very helpful and friendly. He made sure that someone was coming to pick me up at Pak Chong and waited with me. However, we left Mochit New Van Terminal 30 minutes late without any explanation, and at the end we arrived at Pak Chong with 1h late. So, for a trip of almost 2h40 on the road normally, we took 4h (and the traffic conditions were very good). In addition, it was written on my e-ticket to come 1h in advance, which I still don't understand why. It just made me wait 1h30 in total at the van terminal in the end.

Lee EDriver very helpful ; when reached Pak Chong he stopped for us at a taxi stand and suggested we take a taxi there to our hotel. He did not take us straight to the Van Station. Beware : there is no Grab service in Pak Chong.

Tami AThey found us at the terminal, directed us to the waiting area. The price was better than taking a private taxi. The Van was a little hot in the back but there was a fan. The A/C could have been better. We arrived at our destination earlier than expected.

Man CThe driver forced us to take the last row, but the van wasn't full at that moment; the seats were terribly bad and uncomfortable. Therefore, I requested to shift to the bus on my return trip, but the customer service replied me there were no bus services on the day; however, since I was not getting on the van on time for my return trip, I instantly bought the tickets and took a bus at the departure stop.

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.

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.
