I booked in the early hours of the morning for a bus at 1pm. I received booking confirmation and paid, at 1pm I was sat waiting for my bus. I thought it was just late but when I called the operator I was told there was no room for me on the bus and that it was my fault because I booked late and that it was my responsibility to call in the morning to confirm my booking after having received confirmation the night before. When I asked why then was my booking not cancelled or why I was not informed in the morning so I could make alternative arrangements, he man had no answer and again told me it was my fault. So no bus came to get me and i had to make last minute arrangements. I haven’t received my money back as of yet.

Unfortunately the speed boat had zero view of the ocean or any scenery. I was hoping for more of a “ferry” experience where you can enjoy the view while en route and this was not.

NB
Trip from Karon Beach to Karon Beach took 5 hours not 3 as per booking. No traffic just lots of stops to pick up people all over Phuket which delayed travel.

Everythink was ok, except that we missed the timetable at the port of the Bundhaya office. According to the voucher our boat should have left at 8:30, but it left at 9:00 which is not a big deal if you are aware of it.

Driver 40 minutes late. Felt like I was on a roller coaster for over 3 hours. The heavy breaking and bouncy suspension, was really not good.

How to get from Phuket to Ao Nang by van

How much does it cost to get from Phuket to Ao Nang 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 Phuket and Ao Nang expect to pay from USD 9.41 to USD 32.94. The more convenient the ride, the more you pay – either for extra space or for less stops enroute. Good Luck Lanta Tour is the cheapest operator on the route while Koh Yao Sun Smile 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.
