Easy pick up from hotel. Ferry went from Phuket to Phi phi then change boats to get to Lanta, which was a surprise. Original ferry left 30min late, so ghe 2nd boat waited for us.

Included 3 legs, van hotel to ferry terminal, PHIphi cruiser to Ko PhiPhi, trf to Lanta ferry. Van was cool and not over crowded. PhiPhi cruiser was good size w plenty of seats. Top deck had ac inside and partial shade outside. Too hot to be in the sun constantly but wasn’t overcrowded on any level. Lower level did have food and drinks. Left late so connection to Lanta ferry had to wait 1/2 hour. But they prioritized us to go first and we boarded. Lanta cruiser was older smaller and showed its age. No ac. Windows broken wouldn’t slide. Wife sensitive to diesel but we made it. Crew helped load and unload our heavy suitcases. Overall good experience. I might choose to sit closer to the front to limit fuel smell. Sea was choppy 3-4’ but Lanta cruiser rut thru wo a lot of rolling.

Arrived ok on time, but it was some unclear parts in regards to the transport. Mostly the change in phi phi to ko lanta was very stressful and I almost missed it

Great van, safe drive, all connections were easy as the staff will guide you so can’t be left behind. Overall everything was almost in time, arrived only 30-45 minutes late. The check in wasn’t too obvious at the airport, just a guy you were supposed to find wearing a small logo in his shirt.

It was a good trip,felt like we were doing to reach the destination confidently. The approximate hour is well estimated,even though the first van was a bit late. I would definitely take this ferry again!

How to get from Phuket to Koh Lanta 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 Phuket to Koh Lanta 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. Before you book your van ticket, remember to read other travellers’ reviews on your operator’s service to ensure it meets your expectations.

Currently the following operators can help you to travel from Phuket to Koh Lanta by van: .

How far is Phuket from Koh Lanta?

Phuket sits 71 km from Koh Lanta.

How long does it take to get from Phuket to Koh Lanta by van?

Vans cover the distance between Phuket and Koh Lanta in 3h 5m – 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.

The fastest service on this route is provided by Koh Yao Sun Smile. Good Luck Lanta Tour’s vans travel slower than others.

How much does it cost to get from Phuket to Koh Lanta 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 Koh Lanta expect to pay from USD 17.37 to USD 45.80. 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.
