Krabi to Surat Thani Destination Reviews

I booked to go to Surat Thani train station and was dropped off at phantips office in town told id have to pay another 100 baht (no big deal) but would have to wait an hour so took a private taxi for 300 baht, the low mark is mainly for the journey, was seriously flung up and down for most of the way due to the driver going too fast on poor road condition, my back was in bits another 300baht for a massage , seriously, the suspension or something more serious will probably collapse on vehicle if not addressed 🙏

Zero communication on pick up from hotel. I called, texted, zero answer or reply. I finally jumped in a Grab and drove over to the office. When there is was told to wait 20 mins. 30 mins later I was told to wait 10 mins. I was piked up finally at their office. The drive from here in went fine. Not sure if I would have been picked up at the hotel.

I booked 3 seats instead of 2, as we had 2 hefty rucksacks as well as 2 cases. The extra space wasn’t expensive, and it was a wise move, as it gave us both plenty of room. It would have been quite ‘snug’ otherwise.

Great service on all accounts: Phantip have their own comfortable waiting area. The driver came and got us when ready to leave. The minibus was comfortable and in good condition. Clear communication throughout.

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.
