Koh Chang to Bangkok Destination Reviews

MM

Smooth pickup, but a very uncomfortable drive The pickup went smoothly and without any problems. The bus was new, clean, and comfortable for 9 passengers. The driver was also on time, and we actually arrived in Bangkok about an hour earlier than expected. Unfortunately, the drive itself was quite challenging. The driver’s driving was extremely rough, with a very bumpy ride and constant, unpredictable acceleration and braking. At times we were driving quite fast, which made the journey uncomfortable, especially for anyone prone to motion sickness. One of the children sitting in the last row became sick and threw up, but we still did not stop. In total, we only stopped once, for about 20 minutes, after approximately four hours of driving. Overall, the service was punctual and the vehicle was good, but the driving style made what could have been a comfortable journey quite unpleasant. If you are prone to motion sickness, I would definitely recommend being prepared for a rough ride.

Friendly and good driver. Stopps for toilet and food (maybe too much). The vehicle was completly filled up. If we would have been only adults, it would have been too crowded, because the 4 backseats are too narrow. With 2 kids for the family sitting in the back, it was okay.

For such a long, tiresome drive, more space would be appreciated. The minivan was too full, cramped, thus not very comfortable.

Bus ride was very uncomfortable and honestly felt unsafe. The driver was driving extremely recklessly, constantly switching lanes aggressively and making sudden movements. His behavior also seemed very strange — at the beginning of the trip he was nervous and irritated, but later he became unusually cheerful and energetic, which made me feel uneasy and gave me the impression that he might have been under the influence of something. Another major issue was the air conditioning. It was set unbelievably cold the entire trip. We asked the driver several times to lower it or turn it off, and although he would sometimes do it for a short while, he kept turning it back on again. Everyone on the bus was freezing by the end of the journey. Overall, this was a very unpleasant experience and I did not feel safe during the ride.

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.
