About Phichet Transport
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?
Phichet Transport 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 Phichet Transport?
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.

Phichet Transport Company Reviews

Yufei WWe did make three stops during our trip from Krabi to Khao Sok, but each stop lasted no more than one minute. Therefore, it wasn't like the reviews we had read before.
The estimated arrival time at Khao Sok (bus station) was indeed 12:30. Then, the driver asked for the hotel address at the Khao Sok bus stop. One of the guys whose hotel was at the lake couldn't come with us because the minivan couldn't travel that far (more than 6km), so they had to take a taxi from that point. Our hotel was the Khao Sok Legend Poolvilla. Despite the very bumpy and dirty road, the driver still took us to the accommodation without complaining. Thank you, guys!

Manuel VEverything went well for me. However, I was also the first to be dropped off and the bus was only half full. It took us longer than indicated. So you have to allow considerably more time than indicated. But that's always the case with minivans in Thailand. I knew that beforehand. So it wasn't too bad. As the journey started early, I ate something at the bus station, which I don't recommend.

Marcelo PThe trip was ok, comfortable vehicle with ar-condicionditioning. It's a little bit late (10mon) nada and there was a 20 min "connection" at Krabi city that was not informed in advance. Also some stops to deliver orders that increased the travel time, but not too much. You can use the phone number in the voucher to check if it's coming.

Christian WYou can be glad that you have arrived at your destination.
The voucher says pick-up at 9.20 am.
Then it says +/- 30 minutes.
So we waited in the lobby from 8.50 am.
Around 10.15 there was still no one there.
We called and were only told to wait. After a short background music, they hung up.
Around 11.15 there was still no one there. So we called the reception. The answer was that they were already there and we should wait.
The car arrived shortly before 12. So we waited three hours.... !
The driver takes people to the bus station in Krabi and then pays in cash if you want to continue to the hotel.

Roos VI booked the rond bus for my travel and they arranged me a new ride! They replayed really fast, the bus was planned only one hour later then what I originally had planned and I didn’t had to pay extra money (the bus ride from my location was longer then the other/rong location i booked) it was a real savior!

Paloma OI booked the night before quite late and he still showed up on time at my hotel. You have to be 30 minutes early, because it says +/- 30 minutes from pick up time. In my case it was -30 minutes. We arrived earlier than estimated at the destination hotel. Very good and cheaper than other transports.

Nicolas VI read the reviews for this company and we had the same experience. Van was old and smelly, driver was frustrated a lot while driving, driver missed a hotel and got super angry with the other passengers because they should have said something. We needed to pay more (only 100 baht) because our hotel was not on the beach and thus not in Ao Nang (it is). So yeah, for the money we could not expected more but there are services available that are nicer.

After 2h we smelled some smoke, apparently the driver was smoking a cigarette inside the van. He even got lost on the route 2-3 times.

Alex BThe taxi was early which was nice, however when we got to our destination the taxi driver missed our hotel which we didn’t realise and dropped off others first. When it came to us he trued to drop us off 5 minutes drive from our hotel. However after telling the driver we paid to be dropped at our hotel he started to drive us there. As he went to turn around he reversed into a tree and due to this he was shouting abuse it Thai for the journey back and blaming it on us as we didn’t say we passed our hotel. However we didn’t realise this and it’s the taxi drivers job to drive to our destination of which we had already told him where it was.

Alexander RThe expected bus (the one in the picture) didn't show up, so we just stood there. Many of these silver buses drove past us and at some point one of them stopped and asked where we wanted to go. We told him and he simply took us to a meeting point where the bus in the picture took us to our destination.
The location on the page is not exact either. We just waited at the place where we moored the boat.

Nicole KDriver knew which hotel to drop us off when leaving Krabi, however didn't realise he had passed it. We had to inform him and then organise for him to talk to the hotel to find it (the entrance was a little hidden). At the end he turned around and got us there (that's why only 4 out of 5 stars). Other than that perfect like we are used to from 12GO.
