Our Bundaya boat from the islands was late. Black Tiger not only agreed to pick us up from Nopparat Thara Pier, they waited for us, too. Excellent, cannot praise them enough 🙏

Driver stopped multiple times for seems like his own purposes, talking on his phone and then didn’t drop me back to my hotel, just left me in front of some random hotel, probably as I was the last passenger he couldn’t be bothered! I undertood this service to be a transfer

Why is there no precise information about where the bus waits at the terminal? I had to ask three different employees and received three different answers.

We booked a van pickup for 10:00 AM, but the driver arrived at 10:35 AM. After that, we spent around 1.5 hours driving around Ao Nang to pick up other passengers and parcels, even passing our hotel several times. We only left Ao Nang after 12:00 PM towards Khao Lak. We understand that shared vans need to collect passengers, but it felt like customers with later pickup times were included in our ride. If the pickup was actually scheduled to be later, clear information in advance would have been very helpful. We were quite frustrated, as we would have used the waiting time differently.

Arrived at destination 2 hours later than advertised. Was ok when we finally got going but there was a lot of hanging about waiting for more passengers. This made us 2 hours later than advertised.

Pick up from hotel was on time. Transfer was advertised at approx. 2.5 hours. However they drove off route into Central Krabi (their office) then without clear information as to what was going on, waited there approx. 25 mins for another bus. So 1 hour wasted. Left their 1 hour after our Ao Nang pick up and was further away than starting point. Transfer fine, with 1 stop at terminal, again off route so adding again to time. So Transfer 3hrs 40 mins.

The 1st driver was crazy, driving in all lines al over and over to keep the pace on the road. Then drove to the garage station where drop everybody of. Nobody understood why at first. We waited for other driver to pick some of us. Because 2nd driver just came later eith other bus full of people. Looks like They just collected people to 1 place and then drived us to separate directions. It took like 3,5hours instead of what was writen 2-2,5hours. Always add more time for coming to finish.

Overall our experience was ok. The driver drove carefully. Pick up was also good. BUT we expected to have a travel of 2 1/2 hour. Instead we drove not the direct way. In sum it took us about 5 hours ca., cause we drove through the national park Khao Sok. An information in advance would have been helpful.

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.
