Evelyn BIf you’re staying in bkk center and trying to get to Pranburi it’s definitely the easiest and cheapest option, however once the bus gets past the greater Bangkok area it starts stopping to let people on or off very frequently. This adds a lot of extra time to the journey. We planned to take it all the way to Pranburi but decided to get out at Hua Hin because we had enough of the stopping. It took nearly 5 hours to get to Hua Hin from Ekamai. We also paid for an extra ticket for a bag and were asked to show that to the ticket lady at the desk, but then the bus driver was confused why we had 3 tickets for 2 people and put our bag in the luggage hold… so I’m unsure if you actually need to buy another ticket. It’s also worth noting that if you get off in Pranburi and don’t have a taxi or lift already arranged you might struggle to get to Pak Nam Pran if that’s where you’re heading. We managed to get a Grab from Hua Hin to our hotel in Pak Nam Pran for about 350b. Overall, I think if you’re traveling in a group more than 2 people you might as well just book a Bolt.

Cortney GThe driver was very kind and helpful but the seats in the van were so squished, could barely even fit in your seat (I’m a small female) and other passengers were not in good hygiene making for an uncomfortable ride.

Joan SI was only 3min late and van to bus station had already left. But Khao San put me on next bus 1h later. However my earlier stop in Pranburi was not communicated to driver so i had to take a taxi back to where i wanted to go.

Patrick MI wanted to go to Pranburi but the lady of the office decided I will go to a city 20km before it. It makes more sense to go to the bus terminal and buy the ticket directly from the bis company. It saves about 300 Baht.

How long does it take to get from Bangkok to Pranburi by van?
Vans cover the distance between Bangkok and Pranburi in 4h 30m – 5h 20m 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.

How much does it cost to get from Bangkok to Pranburi 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 Pranburi expect to pay from USD 6.65 to USD 15.60. The more convenient the ride, the more you pay – either for extra space or for less stops enroute. Win Jorakhe (วินจระเข้) 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.
