Super! Trip went smoothly. I accidentally booked for the wrong date and they helped me change it without any problems. Awesome service

It was ok, the ferry was fine. What was annoying was having to wait in the tour office in Krabi town for 45 minutes after already setting off on our journey (not sure why we had to wait to be honest)

Traveling in a pickup truck is neither safe nor comfortable

Good transfer service from hotel to pier. Ferry left 20 minutes late, people going to Phuket boat change in the Phi Phi bay. So we finally arrived 1 hour later on Phi Phi Tonsai Pier and lost our connexion to Laemtong. If you have connexion like us, better take a speedboat from Koh Lanta

Got the job done. We got there with about 45 minutes delay. Most people got a seat but about 8 people had to sit on the floor. Maybe that's not the operators fault though. Overall, a bit more information would have been helpful.

Hotel pick up: The driver was on time and very friendly. Journey: The journey started on time and was about 45 min longer than a speedboat. Inside the boat: Downstairs AC, upstairs no AC but a nicer view. The smell of diesel fuel wasn't as bad as other customers wrote. We enjoyed it more than a speedboat.

All good, I booked a ferry from Lanta to Phi Phi with a transfer to the pier. The transfer was on time (they provide the same time for all transfers on Lanta, so add a few minutes depending on where you're staying). The driver was very attentive and there was enough space for everyone and their luggage. The boarding was streamlined, we checked in by signing our name on a passenger list and everyone received a sticker based on their destination. The ferry left and arrived as scheduled. The ferry ride was comfortable and took about 1h. On Phi Phi, everything's within walking distance and easily accessible from the pier.

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.
