About 438 Phuket Krabi 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?
438 Phuket Krabi Transport operates van service and offers tickets with easy online booking. Check them if you are looking for options to travel by van.

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.

Jacob PWe were given the option to go on the bus at 14:45 instead of 16:00 which was nice, but the van stopped so many times that we ended up, arriving at the exact same time that we would have if we took 16:00 van. It turned from a 2 and 1/2 hour trip to a 4 1/2 hour trip. They also dropped us off way outside of Krabi town. And then wanted us to pay ฿100 more to get to Krabi town we did that, but they still didn't even drop us off at our hotel so we ended up paying again to get a taxi to take us to our hotel which was only about a five minute drive away from where we were. We ended up paying almost ฿300 more when they could have just dropped us off where we were intended to go.

Manuel LEverything worked out great.
We actually had a departure at 15:20 but were able to drive to Krabi earlier. The journey was flawless and there were no problems.
Once we arrived in Krabi, we were taken directly to our accommodation for an additional 100 baht.
We can recommend it without any problems.

Weronika WThe trip went well, and I was allowed to take an earlier bus instead of my scheduled one without any additional fee, which I appreciate. HOWEVER, the arrival was chaotic to say the least. The bus did not drop us off at the actual bus station in Krabi. Instead, the driver stopped in front of a random shop/cafe, where from the very first second we were harassed to take a "recommended" transport to Ao Nang. When I say harassed, I mean it - my arm was literally pulled towards one of their cars. Impossible to take a grab from there. Make sure you escape that chaos and walk up to the actual bus station (only few minutes walk), you can easily take a grab from there.

Cedric DWe were dropped off in front of a small store run by the local mafia from which it was impossible to order a grab. We had to walk to the end of the street to get out of this mafia territory! Disappointing to once again be taken for a walking greenback and agreements between the van company and them.
We walked in the rain! Our driver explained it all to us afterwards!

Tibeau EGood bus with enough space, also for your luggage.
Only left at 7h40 while we booked at 7h20 because they wanted a fuller bus. Side note: strange that you then provide so many different departure times, could have had a quieter morning ????.
In addition, the bus really stopped more often than planned at his acquaintances.
In the end, the ride took 1h longer.

The driver asked for continue trip from Bus terminal to Ao Nang another 150 baht , and of course this one’s without receipt and this was after traveling 200km with 220 baht 😉 . The system is in a way done to can do easy black money from tourists. The normal bus cost was 80 baht and took us exactly to the address , like a taxi.

Niklas JDriver took many random brakes/stops where he picked up and also delivered stuff to small shops during the way ? Did not take many minutes, but felt kind of odd. The bus also picked up other passangers during the way which is ok but bus felt crowded.
We got on an earlier ride which was good. Although it lacked information about the trip from both check in terminal aswel from driver. We got on the road quick which after all. The driver did drive very fast(over limit at most time) but was a good driver.
Stopped for 5-10min toilet-break halfway, that was good.
At the end we did not stop at terminal Krabi, we stopped in a industry-area first. There was a minivan waiting for us. They asked passengers who wanted to go to Ao Nang for 150 bath extra per person at that stop. We was heading that direction later and took the offer(6-8 other did aswell so it felt more safe). It was not in the description before travel and fel a bit weird, but it was good service from the minibus though.
Notice if you are tall , you will not be able to sit comfy on the bus. Had to sit sideways with legs for the whole journey. (Im like 185cm, and even my wife around 166cm could not sit ok). It was ok for this ride and the price, but on a longer journey it could have been worse.
