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?
Future Travel and Service 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 Future Travel and Service?
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 Future Travel and Service 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.

Boat was OK and on time
But bus driver was really informal and making unnecessary stops of over 15min for a 2h drive; of course in places where he probably got a commission or ‘gift’ in exchange. We arrived nearly 1h late to our destination and he tried to overcharge an extra 1km drive to our hotek

They make you wait for over an hour at a random stop after arriving in Surat Thani and again in the middle of the night. Both stops are not at shops but small restaurants clearly linked to the bus company so they can extract more money from you. Other operators stop at 7/11 where you can actually buy things you might need and not for such long periods. We spend a lot of the night waiting, hoping the bus would leave soon. The employees treat you like sheep rather than people. The seats were also quite uncomfortable for overnight although it was nice they could recline and that there was charging points and good a/c. The a/c was turned off the last 30 minutes making the bus very hot and the charging ports didn't work during the night either.

Bad transport overral. The workers in the Khao Sok station are rude and nonchalant. The van arrived more than half an hour late, and showed very angry and kind of verbally agressive for no reason. Arrived 40min late.
The driving was fine.
But I would defenetly not take this company again.

The ferry looks so awesome I never thought having nice ferry but the problem was if you have heavy luggage you need to lift by yourself. You will use stairs going up and going down. That's the down side and alot of transfer. No snacks or water offered compared to the bus operation they offer free dinner and snacks. The bus was big and spacious but the charging such as USB port /PD port/type C port was not working. Maybe in the future if you have those things. You will have more customers in the future. The bus driver was on time.5:30am we arrived in bangkok

The journey from Koh Samui to Bangkok is described as a ferry / boat trip, there is no mention at all of any other mode of travel. The journey is actually a ferry back to Shurat
thani, then a shuttle bus, then a mini bus and finally an overnight coach journey the length of Thailand back to Bangkok. Not what is advertised and not what we expected. Book with caution!

It's a shame to have to wait 45 minutes and be late because the owner is negotiating the price with a customer for their excess luggage.
However, I commend the driver who was friendly and knowledgeable about good music.

First you take a boat from Koh Samui to Donsak pier which is okay, then you are taken to a parking lot where you board a van and from the van you drive about 1 hour to a very poor restaurant, they basically have fruits, beverages and salty rice or pasta to eat. You may have time to walk to 7/11 but who knows, they don't give any information so you have to guess. After waiting from 1h to 2h which they don't know precisely how much you board a bus that comes half full and drives about 6 hours to the first stop where is another very poor restaurant that they only have rice, snacks and some beverages and after that you are taken to Bangkok.

Communication wasn’t good. We got off the ferry trying to find the bus which ended up being a van to the bus which took another hour. No one communicated where and when we are going. I was with two kids and it felt very difficult. It was also pouring with rain and no one helped with the bags. The sleeper bus was ok, although it was freezing! And the worse part is that somehow money was stolen from my bag which was next to me while I was sleeping despite the bag being next to me the whole night. We used another company on our way to the islands and we felt a lot more secure. I wouldn’t recommend this company at all.

We travelled from Koh Tao to Khao Sok overnight per ship and bus. When we boarded the ship they showed us our place to sleep and were shocked to find out that we had to sleep on matraces on the floor outside of the cabin because we apparently booked to late. They offered us to reschedule to the following day if we didn’t want to sleep outside but had already booked accommodation and tours. The ship ride was a little bit scary because the boat rocked a lot and we got sprayed with a bit of water from time to time. From the boat to the bus station we also got a lift from some sketchy people but we arrived on time at the destination.

It’s the McDonalds not on the beach front - there’s a 12GO sign attached to a tree a little bit down the road on the right. Our driver was friendly and managed to cram 12 of us in well with all of our luggage. However, our driver got us to the seatran and on our arrival in Koh Samui there was no transport. One of our party called them and they were rude saying we expected you to get on the later ship. An hour later we were in transport to our hotels which was a pleasant journey. They do charge an extra 300 baht to do this once you’re already enroute. Despite the lady informing me it was hard to get a grab the other side, I don’t believe this is true as there were plenty of taxis waiting.

Smooth journey - all connections made. However don’t expect any instructions.
The route is Phi phi - Krabi - Donsak pier - samui
On arrival at Krabi just ask any of the travel people there what to do next and how to locate your driver. Everyone was very helpful.
The van is small and will be full - take plenty of water with you!

Started a bit chaotic, busdriver came 20 min. early and since we were having breakfreast at our hotel he left. Then I called at the pick up time, after some discussion the driver came back for us. Had a weird pickup schedule in Khao Sok, drove 3 rounds of one hour through the small village. After that the travel was great. He rode fast to get in time. One stop in between for toilet and food. We arrived about one hour before the scheduled time so that was perfect.

All in all it was good (perfect timing, comfortable trip) but our driver was NOT friendly at all! He was in a bad mood, interrupted everyone aggressive if they wanted to ask something. His handling of the luggage was also very rough. As we did a quick stop he laughed a lot a did a lot of jokes in front of the other drivers, back in the car, unfriendly again.

In the van I had a seat in the back and they put all the baggages in such a way that I couldn t sit down because the sit was deformed. So for the whole trip (which is a long one), I had to sit very unconfortably and my back hurted...
