Great transfer! We were picked up from our hotel exactly on time and expected to be taken to a bus to travel the 2.5 hours to the pier, however due to low season the diver took us all the way in his car. Very comfortable and personable journey. Great communication from the driver who explained everything about the journey and what to do at the ferry port. He also stopped off for a toilet/coffee break half way. The ferry was well organised by the company and was efficient and comfortable, my partner gets quite sea sick but this was a large ferry and very smooth. Would definitely recommend!

This is a ripoff. This is not a shuttle and a ferry. This is : shuttle wait about 40 mins at bus stop and change - public bus - wait about 40 mins at the station and change - public bus - tuk-tuk - wait about 40 mins - speed boat. I wish I knew that. We arrived way later than the advertised time: around 4PM instead of 1:30. Which makes it a 9 hour + journey. Walk from your hostel to the bus station, take the public bus yourself, change buses and take a tuk-tuk and then a ferry. You will save yourself about 50$. The only reason I booked this is because I believed it would be a van that would bring us directly to the ferry. And it was advertised as the fastest option. Boy was I disappointed. Operator, please don’t blatantly lie.

I think it would be helpful if we had more transparency about the journey. Eg change of bus, waiting time between bus, time of ferry etc

From Khao Sok van station to Donsak pier, they have charged us 400 baht extra, 100 baht each for bag, even though we are below the allowed inches. They were saying that they dont accept condition mentioned in 12go.

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.
