About Krabi Sea Pearl
While some travellers feel skeptical about vans, a good choice of destinations and competitive prices make vans one of the most popular means of transport for others. Vans are always more flexible than big buses. If there is a sudden request for rides to some new destinations, van operators are always the first to offer their service. Indeed, it is easier to launch a new route if you operate a vehicle of 10-15 pax capacity, isn’t it?
Krabi Sea Pearl operates van service and offers tickets with easy online booking. Check them if you are looking for options to travel by van.

What are the Vans Classes & Prices of Krabi Sea Pearl?
As a rule, it is not possible to choose a ticket class when travelling by van. Yet you can check with the operator and/or choose the type of van which serves your route. Some vans seat only 9-10 passengers, others accommodate up to 15 travellers. The former case means you may have more legroom, wider seats and a more comfortable ride, the latter – be ready for a limited space for your legs, elbows and your luggage.

Pros & Cons of Van Travel
Pros of Van Travel
- Vans often reach the destinations where neither buses nor trains travel. These include secondary towns and smaller villages
- In most cases vans are the fastest way to get to your destination if travelling to relatively short distances overland simply because they are smaller than buses and more maneuverable
- Vans can let you get off at a more convenient point enroute – not necessarily at the terminal, what actually can save you loads of time and money in some cases.
Cons of Van Travel
- Some vans can be quite cramped with limited space for luggage available. Well, actually almost all vans offer limited luggage space and if you have more than one bag, suitcase or backpack, it may be a good idea to buy a separate seat for your luggage – yes, you will pay double for your trip, alas
- It is worth checking if your van runs on schedule or leaves when full – in the latter case you may end up waiting too long as on several routes it can take quite a time for a van to fill up.
- You should know that van drivers are notorious for their speedy driving. Even the most reputable companies sometimes fail to persuade the drivers to respect the speed limits. Even if your van driver does not insist on it, always buckle your seatbelt while travelling by van
- If you easily get seasick and your trip includes winding stretches, chances to feel motion sickness are higher while travelling by van than by bus. Take your medicine half an hour before your trip to be on the safe side.

Lena KGreat service! Due to traffic, we arrived a little late at the pick-up point, but the driver was waiting after we communicated quickly and easily with the organization. The seats were also comfortable and we reached our destination even faster.

Dragan MOverall great, everything worked and was well organized. Only slight critique I have is that because of the driver's poor English, it was very hard to understand his announcements. We had often to ask back what he meant. At one point when when we dropped one part of the passengers at the train station, the rest of us heading for the pier asked if we also need to get off for a transfer. The driver then got angry and shouted at one girl that we have to listen to what he says and that this is not our stop yet. I guess he got frustrated because he kept repeating his announcements, but it was really hard to understand him. Nonetheless, satisfied with the provided service and recommended

Philippa HI didn’t realise that this was primarily a 3-4 hour bus journey followed by a 1.5 hour ferry. This is entirely my fault! It was incredibly easy, very well managed. Would 100% recommend! Our only issue was the taxi mafia on the other side at Koh Samui (nothing to do with this tour operator but something to be wary of if you choose to catch this ferry!) . We were told 150baht each to lamai beach in one of their tuk-Tuks only for the driver to demand an extra 200 and tell us the 150 was only for the other passengers who had waited longer! Not what his boss had said so be warned about this.

Saurabh SThe ride was amazing. Our driver came a little later but he was very kind. He drove the vehicle well until the ferry and assisted us into the pier. We could have come earlier but some German passengers came late, didn’t wanted to enter the car, were just loud with the poor driver and started quarrelling with him.
Anyhow, I recommend this service as it’s reliable and sends you to the destination safely!! Happy travels!!

Lena MWe had a very friendly driver on our trip from Ao Nang to Koh Phangan. The Pick up worked well and we had a quick stop for buing snacks and drinks. The driver was organizing the ferry tickets for us and showed us where to wait eat and enter the ferry at the Pier. As our hotel was not included as a Pick Up place we selected the one next to us. I can warmly recommend to use this service.

Luca LVan on time and comfortable. Spacious ship with even a shop and massage room inside. The transfer was smooth.
Only issue, as mentioned also by other reviews before, is during the booking process, when we are required to select a pickup hotel from a very limited selection of options. I followed the approach of selecting a hotel nearby and then call the operator to ask to change it for my actual one. Lucky they speak English!

Matthias NWe went from Ao nang to Phuket. The pick up was on time and we were transferred to Krabi bus station with a mini van. Here, the driver bought us a ticket for a bus to Phuket and showed us the platform for our bus. We arrived about 1 hour late in Phuket, but since we were not in a rush this was completly fine for us.

Jacob BWe were probably last minute put into a trip so we were crammed up in a minivan for about 1.5 hours. Then we were last in a bus and of course the worst seats are left for those who are last in. Ferry was fine but that is no surprise.
It is good to call once you are on the pickup spot. Just to make sure all is well.

Chi AIt was a great experience. The pick up bud was on time. Enough space although the bus was full. Transfer from bus to boat was also flawless and no confusion on where go. I would book and travel again. Why only 4 stars? We could not find our hotel as the pick up location and had our receptionist from the hotel to call and explain.

Bjoern MAdvertised arrival time was never planned to make. It was obvious, that this was just said to lure people to book with this company. Luckily we didn’t book a pick-up at the pier in advance, it would have waited for over an hour…
The mini van was really small, so we feeled like sardines in a can on that 4 hour drive. „Luxury mini van“ is definety something else!

Sarah CWhen booking it says pick up but once you confirm then you may be told you won't be collected from your hotel and you have to make your own way to another hotel. This happened to me. Then they picked up from the hotel opposite mine. Which meant I wasted money and time. This was stressful.

Charlotte MI was told to get off and change minibus 30 mins in the journey (which was fine, just a bit confusing as it was only me that had to do this) but it seemed like this made the journey delayed and then the minibus driver refused to stop on the journey. Someone was desperate to stop so he pulled over on the side of the road for 2 mins but wasn’t very happy about it. Ferry was great!

Natalie DTransfer was described as a minivan.
We were picked up by a minivan which dropped us at the public bus station in Krabi. From there the minivan driver purchased us a bus ticket and drove away.
As a result of catching the public bus we were 1 hour & 5 mins late to the destination based on the arrival time quoted on 12go booking confirmation.
During booking I was led to believe we were booking a minivan for the entire trip. No mention of public bus or transferring vehicles. Disappointing.

Andrew WWe weren’t told we would have to change transport multiple times to get there. Then we were packed into a full minivan for the majority of the journey, with all our bags squeezed in on top of us.
This was made worse by the fact that the driver had to stop several times to pick up packages which meant there was even less room in the minivan.
Also the drivers driving was very poor and borderline dangerous!
Throughout this nothing was explained to us.

Amandine BI don't really recommend it, no room in the minivan, lots of suitcases in the aisles, unbearable Indians...in short, the trip was horrible.

Simon TReally efficient transfer from Lanta to Samui. Minivan pick-up from Lanta was a few minutes late (but they give you plenty of warning of this), 2.5 hours, comfortable. Dropped off at Sea Pearl offices in Krabi, 10 minute wait, then loaded onto bus (bigger than minivan) for drive to Don Sak pier - roughly 2.5 hours as well with comfort stop in the middle. Then walk onto ferry which is big and pretty comfortable. Once arrived in Samui you have to sort your own transport - there are shared minivans waiting that are around 200thb. A good, safe experience overall!
