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.

Van Airport Transfer, Phichet Transport, Sep 21, 2026
The shuttle service is incredibly well-organised and drops everyone off at the door of their hotel. Faultless!

My ticket had booked me for drop off at jungle villa resort, but the driver wanted me to pay extra for this. I explained it was on my ticket and he seemed quite annoyed

Driver showed up 40 minutes early which caught me a bit off guard, otherwise was fine. Quite a bumpy and windy road but not much can be done about that.

The operator picked me up on time (3pm for the 3pm van from Ao Nang to Khao Lak). They took me to Black Tiger office and I had to wait and transfer to another van there. The van arrived on time in Khao Lak and the van was comfortable.

Why is there no precise information about where the bus waits at the terminal? I had to ask three different employees and received three different answers.

Van Minivan 14pax, Phichet Transport, Feb 20, 2026
We had a very straight forward experience. Driver picked us up ~10:10a (10:30a departure) from our hotel. We picked a few other people up and arrived 15mins ahead of schedule. Really nothing to add, everything was good!

I had a ticket for a mini van from Phang Nga bus station to Sao Nang. I Arrived early- 30 minutes before departure, but the van didn’t come. And they didn’t call me. It’s says in the confirmation ticket that it is expected that the mini van is «up to 30 minutes late». So I slowly and surely realised there where no van coming. Got a refund without asking though, which was nice.

Van was 30 minutes late at pick up. The Toyota was extremely tired but those engines just keep going. The driver dropped the passengers off at various points in the village which was very helpful.

Driver was very erratic and on his phone watching TikTok’s a lot. The bus was packed full of bags - a lot of people not paying attention to the rule of one big and one smaller bag. The driver was also late and not really clear on whether we were on the right bus, he also didn’t check tickets.

Van Minivan 14pax, Phichet Transport, Nov 23, 2025
Against the description our hotel was outside the pick up area so we had to pay more to get picked up. They wrote that one day before, so we had no chance to cancel the trip.
We also had to change the bus once and the bus was very old and uncomfortable.

We had to wait a long time for a late passenger. Not only did we arrive more than 45 min late, the driver was trying catch up with the schedule in a heavy thunderstorm by driving dangerously fast. We felt unsafe, and would have rather arrived even later than be exposed to this level of danger.

Not in time, many stops, very small seats

Van Minivan 14pax, Phichet Transport, Oct 20, 2025
Before the trip even began, we discovered—without any prior notice—that our agency had been changed to Black Tiger. They departed an hour later than the scheduled time, with no explanation or apology.
The chaos continued when it became clear that the driver had no idea how many passengers were actually supposed to be in the vehicle. Throughout the ride, he kept stopping to pick up additional people, which added further delays and confusion.
The drive itself, which was two hours, took place in a torrential downpour. Despite the dangerous weather conditions, the driver was speeding excessively, overtaking vehicles, and doing so with no clear visibility ahead. His reckless driving made the journey not only uncomfortable but genuinely frightening.
This was one of the most stressful and unsafe travel experiences I’ve ever had. I strongly advise avoiding this company entirely.

Set off at 1 arrived after 7 even though it says 4.40 minutes expected transfer. Stopped in krabi town at the company’s depo (?) for 45 minutes unsure why then changed buses then had several other stops at bus stations. Staff were friendly enough and bus was clean and comfortable as it could be.

The bus ride was very good, but 1. He asked me to throw away my coffee(even though there's cupholders on the bus?) And 2. There was an annoying, loud show playing on the bus, it was too loud.

Had to wait quite a long time before setting off waiting for other passengers to arrive at the airport.
Quite a few stops off points along the way but took me directly to the hotel albeit slightly late so make sure you've got some water with you.
Good value for money and friendly driver.

Did the job to get from point A to B however it felt like we took an unnecessarily long route to get there due to the pickup & drop off of what seemed like small packages and other customers who seemed very out of the way.

We came to the counter 1 1/2h before our ride and asked if we can join the earlier bus and it was no Problem! They were very nice. Also I needed to pee on the rode and he stopped so I could pee and another guy bought some water!

Great minibus service! The driver was on time, and we even left early, allowing us to arrive quickly at our destination. He dropped us off right in front of the hotel without any issues. The driving style is typically Thai—slightly dynamic but nothing concerning. Overall, very good service!
