Driver was on time, the vehicle was good but there were 2 seats next to driver and the middle one was not at all comfortable (no space for both feet and uncomfortable headrest). I travelled like like that for 3 hours where I paid same price as everyone

Driver was friendly and a good driver, but we were 45 minutes late to the airport and catching a flight would have been very stressful and concerning (ours was the day after but others looked worried).

Late, driver was rude and stopped for personal errands a couple times. We arrived almost 2 hours later than we had booked for and zero communication. He was also rough with everyone's bags even when told not to be. Very bad experience and ruined our day!

Transport was comfortable and everything worked out in the end, but you need to be prepared to always add AT LEAST 1h to the expected arrival time. It will depend on how many guests need to be picked up along the way and traffic conditions, but at least on the route Khao Sok - Phuket Airport, consider 1h more.

The trip went well, except that we were first contacted on WhatsApp where they asked which hotel we wanted to be picked up from. After a while, they then wrote that there had been a mistake and that we would be picked up at Van Station instead. So the beginning was confusing regarding where they would pick us up. We then arrived more than 20 minutes late. However, the driver was nice and dropped us off at our accommodation.

The driver was 45 minutes too late. Not good when you have to reach a flight. For spending the time he drove very very fast and passed other cars in curves- I was afraid of having an accident all the time.

Took much longer than advertised. We were told to transfer busses after an hour and a half. The second driver drove like a maniac, if I were back in my home country I would have gotten out of the car and called the police for reckless driving.

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.
