About Fame Tour
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?
Fame Tour 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 Fame Tour?
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. Read reviews on Fame Tour van service to be sure they meet your expectations.
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.

Fame Tour Company Reviews
G M
Gaetane MThis negative review has nothing to do with the transport company, as the trip itself was great. However, I had a very bad experience with your app regarding your pricing. The price was clearly displayed in Bahts (THB) when I entered my card details. But right at the validation step, it suddenly changed to Euros. I had no other choice but to accept and validate because I had to travel. This is not on. I would not recommend this app for a tourist.

Mark WOverall it was well arranged. The only thing was that the bus driver put the westerners, even if they already had a seat, in the back of the car, where there was no room to move and we constantly hit our heads against the roof. I can understand that we are their guests. I would only ask for some understanding regarding the height difference

Tomas JTrip was supposed to be 9:30, but company called me 6:30 that time changed to an earlier time, so we missed the bus. They gave another one a bit later. It was very crowded but thats okay. The problem was second driver when we changed the vans half way. He was loud and rude to passengers, driving recklessly, always on his phone, complaining about putting bag not the way he wanted (on top of us)

Annette ZBefore finalising the booking it isn't clear that you have to change vans in Prachuap Khiri Khan. The van from Chumphon was modern, well maintained, air-conditioned and punctual. We started off with 3 persons aboard but picked up locals on the way, so the van was full by the time we arrived in Prachuap Khiri Khan.
There I, and some other travellers as well, had to argue about the ticket price to Hua Hin having been paid online already as they tried to charge us another 100 THB per person.
The van we changed to was a bit of a shock as it was old and battered, ripped seats, no seatbelts, rattling ceiling vans. Same as with the other one we collected and dropped off locals on the way, like a public bus. Finally the driver made us get off at Market Village in Hua Hin, which was not the location quoted. The van was about 1 hour late, too.
All in all a mixed experience as the first half of the ride was quite good, while the rest wasn't.

Michael OI was expecting a more direct ride. The first bus stopped multiple times along the route to pick up locals and packages. The second bus after a bus transfer was old, with poor air conditioning, packed, to the point that we had to sit with our luggage on our laps, and this bus also made multiple stops along the way.

Clemence THere is what you need to know on this journey.
So on the ticket they tell you to come 1h in advance. Actually it us because the departure of the van is not where they send you. Someone will bring you to the bus station so you should come in advance. We arrive at bus station before the bus was supposed to leave but it left already as the Company opérâtes in a way that if the bus is full they go and many people buy tickets last minute. So they actually don’t really pay attention of the time of your booked ticket basically. So take that into account. Other than that van had air condition and driver drived safe my so satisfied on this side

At least the people were all very nice and it was quiet during the night. Toilet as expected, average cleanliness.
The bus pickup worked well but no information on the ride or schedule. They tried ro sell us an extra private ride directly to the hotel as it was 2km feom the bus stop. They would not let us know the drop off point to try to sell us the extra service
All vehicles were on time.

Tamica GThe ferry was not as bad as the reviews suggest, the beds while not the most comfortable were fine if you’re tired and ready to sleep. The only thing that knocked this trip was the bus after, it felt like it never ended. Stopping off at 4am at a coffee shop was the last thing most of us needed. Could do with having a more comfortable bus so people can continue to sleep for the long journey

For the price we paid, absolutely worth it as we could spend full day on the beach.

Dan MNothing on the website describes the experience accurately, its not a night ferry it’s prolonged entrapment. If the ferry has 20 beds you can trust the operators to cram 50 more people in, having them sleep on mattresses in every possible corner of the boat. Would not recommend and would not try again
