About Hanuman Tour Siam

Quick company Intro
Hanuman Tour Siam is a Thai minivan operator that focuses solely on connecting Bangkok with Kanchanaburi in the west of the country. Air-conditioned minivans carry visitors the 130km route to the popular historical town to see famous sights such as the Death Railway and the Bridge own the River Kwai.

Routes served by Hanuman Tour Siam
As mentioned, Hanuman Tour Siam only operates one route but with loads of choice of departure times. There are 21 vans heading in both directions every day all priced at THB163. The first departure in both directions is at 05.00, with a van leaving every 40 minutes until 18.20 so you will never have to wait long for the next van. The journey takes around three hours either way.

Pros
The best thing about using Hanuman Tour Siam to get to or from Kanchanaburi is the sheer number of services each and every day. With just 40 minutes between departures, you know that there is minimal chance of delays as you can simply hop on the next van. Also, it's worth remembering that these vans will leave when full so always get to the bus station early to get a seat. It's not unheard of that you arrive before your scheduled departure to be told that your bus has left as someone else turned up several hours early, you'll then have to wait until the next one. Fortunately, that's never too long.

Helpfully, the website gives you useful information on where to find the check-in counter for these minivans, from where you will be then shown to the van. The check-in desk for Hanuman Tour Siam can be found at counter 19 in Sai Tai Mai bus terminal in the south of Bangkok. That should save you some time wandering around the busy bus station, trying to fight your way through the crowds.

Cons
As is the case when catching a minivan throughout Thailand, you are often required to pay extra for luggage, especially if you are travelling with a large amount. This is because there is very limited space to transport luggage so large items are usually piled onto a spare seat. This means that the van is not filled to capacity so the company will usually charge you a fee. This is also the case when travelling on minivans with Hanuman Tour Siam and is an additional cost that you will need to factor in when planning your journey.

Sai Tai Mai station in Bangkok is not the easiest bus terminal to reach by public transport, so you are likely going to need to pay for a taxi to travel to or from there to your hotel or to catch your next mode of transport. However, if these services departed from Mo Chit you'd end up sitting in traffic for longer and the ticket prices would probably be higher as well.

Keep in mind
Services depart from Bangkok’s Sai Tai Mai terminal and arrive in the Lat Ya area, just outside Kanchanaburi. It's likely that you’ll have to either jump in a taxi or see if your accommodation will arrange to pick you up. If you're meeting anyone, it’s always worth having their contact details handy in case you have to let someone know that you're running late.

What travellers say
Most complaints are due to passengers having to pay extra for luggage, sometimes having to pay for a full-price ticket to put their suitcase on a seat in the minivan. Unfortunately, there is little that can be done about this and is common practice throughout the country. You'll have to consider whether this extra cost is worth it or whether you want to try to find alternative transport to Kanchanaburi.

It was very complicated for me to find the place where the bus was leaving from, I think there is a lack of signage.

Van left only when it was full, airco was not to good but most importantly: the van did not drop us at the sai tai mai busstation but at the side of a busy road somewhere near the busstation. Not comfortable

Good driving by the driver but the van was a bit old-fashioned. Seats stretch out if there's no one behind.

Old Car, awful aircon, very uncomfortable seats, to many people. And why starts the bus at 4pm, when it should starts at 5pm??

Good that there were seatbelts and an okay ride. Only negative thing was that the seat cushions were very old and tattered.

No A/C, just fans going. Driver was in a real hurry. We were passing in front of oncoming traffic and forcing them to move onto the verge. It felt far more dangerous than the regular 12go drivers.

We left Bangkok terminal 45 minutes later than sheduled time, not sooner than finally all 12 seats was sold out. I was nervous due to following train connection, but we arrived stlll 10 minutes earlier than sheduled arrival time. Jiri,Czech republic

Correct trip, but the driver dropped us off without explanation at the entrance of Bangkok at a bus stop and not at the terminal...

Very pleasant drive. Took about 3,5h to get to the kanchanaburi bus station (I asked to drop me of at that point), because besides passengers, also packages had to be delivered.

It was comfy and arrived on time. The only negative was we left late and then due to bad traffic in Bangkok the driver had to drive very fast and it felt a little uneasy for a westerner.

The van was clean and ran well however we weren't dropped off at Sai Tai Kao but at MoChit and the photo in the email didn't show the counter number so the counter was hard to find when we were checking in

Cheap, fast and good...some things to consider, though. Getting to the terminal from Nonthaburi where we live was easy - maybe 30 minutes on a Sunday. It was very good getting through the terminal as we had our printed voucher in hand. If you don't then you have to make your way through all the yelling vendors trying to get you to use their van service. That would have been hectic and my sunglasses would have to have been on so I could look past everyone and not catch their eyes lol...so one stressor was avoided. Once at my gate number it was very easy as I handed my voucher to the clerk and he politely pointed me to the van behind him. As we had booked a 10:20 am van we were happy to see it leave at 10:00 ahead of schedule. ..the stressor was the fact they packed 13 passengers into the 14 passenger van with a ton of luggage all stacked up. ...made for a cozy ride with strangers. ....as for booking online with 12go.asia, all and all it was worth the few extra baht to book online (160/each vs. 120 at the station)...and the driver was nice enough to drop us off at our guest house...I would use 12Go. Asia again in the future...

I was unavoidably worried about copying my ticket, but I was able to get on the train safely. However, I recommend that you make a copy of your ticket as much as possible.

Well it was a bit of a pain to begin with as the bus station got moved from Burana Sat rd to Sao Tai kao terminal the other side of the river! Once there thought it was easy! The staff were so helpful as pointed us in the right direction! Actually we got there early which was great as we were shattered!

Bus terminal was hard to find. Our taxi driver had to call the number to find it. Other than that the ride was fine.

It was a little hard to find the office, since there are a lot of bus companies there and we came with a taxi. Probably easier with skytrain, very close! Trip was fine and fast and can't beat the price!
