Khao Sok to Ao Nang Destination Reviews

It would have been nice if I had gotten some feedback on my pick up point description. Without it we did not know if they would really come to the right place to pick us up. Also we had to call them to know when they're arriving, as they had to pick up other people, so they were a bit late and we were worried.

No information at check in, was told we need to check in but then they just waved us away. We booked a comfy looking minibus with leather seats, instead we were out on a bus with about 30 other people. Tried to charge me 200b per bag for two backpacks, when I insisted the bags are included on the ticket and showed him the terms and conditions of the ticket he persisted. Google maps says 2hrs 15 but ticket said 3hrs, thought this would be because of traffic... We had no traffic but it did take over 4hrs to get there cause we drove around dropping people off, even though our drop off was closer.

It would be great to get some confirmation via sms or email about the hotel pickup. The driver was driving safely.

Smooth ride that got me from point A to point B (Khao Sok - Ao Nang) on time. Very convenient with hotel transfers, and a break to go to the bathroom in between.

Two stars are for the more or less on time pickup and that we reached our destination. Service was kind of weird for us. No confirmation for the booking, no estimated pickup time but he came. Driver was a lot on the phone and drove quite strange (I normally feel well on boats and drives, this one was tough for the stomach). Driver had no working gps so we had to navigate him to the hotels in AoNang. We were last. After driving about an hour through AoNang he told us that this route doesn’t include Khlong Muang normally and that he has to take 500 baht for the 10-15min drive. If we got that info before, we would just let him drop us off at Ao Nang and took a Grab.

If you are lucky enough to get it, you may have more space and definitely a better view there.

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.
