Krabi to Phuket Destination Reviews

Horrible experience, worst travel ever. Sailing in the waves makes you less dizzy. Very little space also. The whole experience was horrible. Never again

Don’t take the ride. It was horrible. It was impuntual and crowded. The driver dropped us somewhere far away and a tuktuk driver hustled us to the airport.

The bus left 1h late after asking us to check in 30min in advance. The bus did not conform to the standards presented when booking. No communication that the bus was leaving late. After leaving, we did arrive in just over 3.5h close to advertised and while the driver did make several stops as anticipated we did not have a toilet break, only errands and picking up/dropping off passengers.

It was cheap so can't complain much. However, it was a local bus that had many other stops too and was fully packed

We booked 2 days in advance and hoped for the best. Unfortunately we waited for 1.5h and as noone arrived, I contacted the emergency number. They then organised an immediate pickup and we could change right into our Bus to Phuket. The bus drive was good and an adventure too. The driver stopped a few times, and dropped us of safely after 3h drive. I sat ontop of the wheels, so didn't have a lot of leg room. Would book the trip again but contact the emergency number earlier if noone appears.

Nice people. Driver should concentrate more on road than his phone.

We had made the mistake of selecting Krabi Town Transfer even though we stay in Ao Nang. Since Ao Nang is a part of Krabi, we thought that our hotel was included in the transfer option, but apparently not. We didn’t know this and we weren’t contacted by the company about the mistake. We were supposed to be picked up at 11:30, and at 11:40 I contacted the company to hear if our driver was late. We were told that we had made a mistake but they would send a driver to come get us, and then we just had to pay an extra fee of 150 baht pr person, which is completely fine. We were told that the driver would be there in 5-10 minutes. After 10 minutes, around 11:50, I got a text that the driver would be there at 12:40 instead. This was very frustrating to hear, since we had been waiting in the lobby since 11 am, because our voucher says to do so. We then called the company to hear what was going on, and why we had to wait that long. He had such and attitude and kept telling us that everything was our own fault, because we were in Ao Nang and not Krabi. I asked why they didn’t contact us, when we booked the trip, and told us about the mistake. First he said, that they had tried to contact us, and I told him “no, you haven’t”, then he started saying, “we didn’t have your contact information, so we couldn’t contact you”, which is very weird, when he just tried to convince me, that they had tried to contact me. He was very rude throughout the whole conversation, and yelled a lot at us. We couldn’t really say anything because he kept interrupting, saying everything was our fault and “you lose this”. I know we made a mistake, but I don’t get why they didn’t either contact us, cancel the trip or just get a driver to come pick us up in time, and we just had to pay a little extra? Instead he just ended up cancelling our drive to the bus station and we had to get a grab instead. If we had known this, we would have gone by ourself a lot sooner, but instead we sat and waited for a driver that never came. The rest of the trip was fine, except that they played loud and annoying music the whole way in the bus.

How to get from Krabi to Phuket by van

Vans are a faster alternative to buses; vans usually offer more scheduled departures than buses or other means of transport over the same route; vans may serve the routes not served by buses, trains, or flights. What other reasons do you need to opt for a van? Ah! Very often, they are much more affordable than any other means of transport. Van from Krabi to Phuket departs regularly according to the schedule and is a decent option to get to your destination at a reasonable price. Now van tickets can be booked online what makes planning of your trip more convenient.

Vans cover the distance between Krabi and Phuket in 2h 30m – 5h 30m hours. Do note that though vans usually stick to their schedule, your journey can take longer if traffic is excessive or the weather is bad. The worst periods in the sense of violation of the timetable is long weekends, national holidays, school vacations and peak season. With roads stuck with traffic do expect delays. Stormy weather with heavy rains or snowfalls can also cause your arrival time to change. Yet in general you can rely on the timing declared by the operator.

How much does it cost to get from Krabi to Phuket 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 Krabi and Phuket expect to pay from USD 9.91 to USD 44.48. The more convenient the ride, the more you pay – either for extra space or for less stops enroute. Krabi Transport and Travel is the cheapest operator on the route while Green Planet 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.
