Koh Samui to Krabi Destination Reviews

SP
Sofiia P
I am disappointed with the Koh Samui – Krabi transfer (ferry + bus). We arrived almost at 18:00, while according to the schedule the arrival time was 14:00. A delay of nearly four hours is unacceptable. Overall, the trip was poorly organized and stressful. I hope the company improves its service and time management.

The ferry was one our late Which is not the fault of the company and the driver waits for us It was a chaos to find the right minivan at the pier No organisation Because there where no city names on the minivans We habe to ask several times Two of the guests took the wrong mini van and we have to return to change the guests The mini van was too full and the driver drove in a very dangerous way We were afraid He didn’t leave space to the front cars on the highway and has difficulties to stop in time For tall people it is difficult to find space for the legs

The line for the boat was so long we almost missed it, despite arriving 40 minutes before departure. The boat almost took an hour longer than expected, causing a two-hour delay on our trip. There was no information in the PDF provided on where to go, how long the trip would be etc. The bus we were in smelled like a rat had died in the ventilation,

You might not know what vehicle you are getting in straight away. Don’t panic. The drivers can be abit crazy. They will call out different destinations randomly, without any rhyme or reason. Just make sure you get in the right vehicle.

Once leaving the boat, I was forced into the back of a van with no full seat, made to sit on half my butt, while a luggage wheel was jammed into my leg. Fully cramped. Van should use the back seat for luggage storage only, not for paying customers

How much does it cost to get from Koh Samui to Krabi by van?

Opposite to, say, buses, normally vans do not offer a great variety in the sense of ticket class hence the price of the ticket is the same for all seats in a van. Note that some seats offer more comfort during the ride. E.g. in some vans the passenger seat by the driver is also available. 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.

To hop onto a van between Koh Samui and Krabi expect to pay from USD 31.67 to USD 40.78. The more convenient the ride, the more you pay – either for extra space or for less stops enroute. Raja Ferry (ราชา เฟอร์รี่) is the cheapest operator on the route while Boonsiri High Speed Ferries (บุญศิริเรือเร็ว) is the most expensive one.

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.
