About RTC 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?
RTC 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 RTC 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.

Got us there with no issues, driver didn’t have very much English and the van didn’t have any separate space for luggage so it was all piled onto two seats.

The van starts the pick up at the designated time, so we ended up waiting for more than an hour. Other than that the drove directly and safely to the destination.

Nobody was waiting for us at the airport. He arrived later and also left us in the pier without further information.

Van Van, RTC Transport, Apr 23, 2026
It was on time, the driver drove well, we were on time at the arrival place. The only thing is that the driver insisted for me to change place to leave it for another guy and I didn't like that as I sat down there first so didn't get why I should move after.

All good - but driver was driving way too fast and risky at times. Closing in on cars way too close and overtaking them in very tight spots.

Good transport service with RTC in Krabi. The van was comfortable and the ride was smooth. Perfect option for transfers in the area.
However, 12Go sent us a confusing email telling us to go to the RTC office but without any address or directions, which made it a bit difficult to find. Once we got there, everything worked well and the transport itself was very good.”

The driver was friendly, packed all our luggage on well, and stopped for 20 mins at a great rest stop - with 7/11, Cafe Amazon, clean toilets and some other food stands. We arrived earlier than expected too.

Van Van, RTC Transport, Feb 18, 2026
Comfortable seats and air conditioning, however the driver was an hour earlier than expected. He was really friendly and allowed us time to get ready but I feel that we could have received notification of this prior. Also, the breaks on the van vibrated a lot, suggesting the pads had worn away which was a bit scary.

Van Van, RTC Transport, Jan 15, 2026
We were dropped off in Ao Nang, rather than at our hotel in Klong Muang, despite the voucher stating that only Tubkaek hotels would not be drop off points. Other passengers were also heading to Klong Muang, and they were contacted by the service provider in advance to let them know, whereas we were not.
In addition, the driver was very nice, but he drove extremely fast, and the AC in the van was very weak, meaning it was very hot inside.

All good. Driver arrived on time to pick us up. Comfortable van, friendly driver. We had a quick stop midway, dropped us at our hotel in Ao Nang. No complaints.

The van arrived at our hotel half an hour late, but I didn’t deduct a star for that, as this can easily be due to other passengers. Everything else was very good. I always felt safe during the journey, we took a 20-minute break at a fairly large rest area, and we arrived on time. Would (and did) book again.

Van Van, RTC Transport, Dec 31, 2025
Payed for drop off at hotel then got told not dropping off at hotel got dropped off half an hour away from my hotel.
When picked up, 2 people did not arrive on time, so we went to pick up more people driving for an hour and then came back for them where we started, Delaying us making us late.

Easy to book, pay and use. Quick booking confirmation and tickets emailed through.
Makes travelling easier than I thought it would be for arranging transport and connections.

Pick up went smooth. Nice driver, clean car. Ferry staff was not the nicest. Treated customers rude, arrived 45 min late. Therefore, my hotel pick up person was no longer waiting for me which meant that I had to carry my luggage for 20 min to get to the accomodation on Phi Phi.

Van Van + Ferry, RTC Transport, Dec 18, 2025
In the booking procedure I couldn’t find the window to tell our flight-no and arrival-time. I wrote it as a message, that I don’t know how much time we need to get our luggage. I didn’t know that it is a private pickup. So I gave more time as needed. At the pickup no we were 1 h too early. So we were a bit lost there. Everybody was gone. We thought we had to wait 1h. Fortunately the driver gave me a call and we didn’t loose too much time. He was very friendly and made it ebenen possible to get us a ferry earlier than booked. Excellent!

The van that picked us up barely has working AC and enough room for everyone’s bags. It was a long drive in sweltering heat. It was not enjoyable. Once we got on the ferry it was fine.

Car was 40min late and we had to sit in the back squeezed between bags, not comfortable

It said it would pick you up in Khao Sok, but didn't specify the location or exclude anything like other services, which is why we chose it. We bought it two days in advance, and just 1.5 hours before, they notified us that our hotel wasn't included. We had to take a taxi, and we weren't even sure they were running. We couldn't schedule it because of the short notice. If they saw the reservation and the pickup location, they should have notified us earlier so we could schedule it in advance or cancel the service.

Ferry for 2 hours, you arrive in Krabi the driver is waiting for you with your name printed out for transfer to airport in 25 mns. Very smooth organisation, clean ferry and van.

All pick up were great. The boat and after the taxi (for me the best ever because he was driving carefully). On time at the airport. Price value the comfort

Van Van, RTC Transport, Nov 17, 2025
Overall our experience was ok. The driver drove carefully. Pick up was also good. BUT we expected to have a travel of 2 1/2 hour. Instead we drove not the direct way. In sum it took us about 5 hours ca., cause we drove through the national park Khao Sok.
An information in advance would have been helpful.

The driver was planned to go directly to krabi town but some people in the van made a mistake in their booking and wanted to go to ao nang, so instead of dropping us first as it was planned at krabi town, he went to ao nang, has been paid 200 bath cash and took us after at krabi. Result of the course, 40mn more of road and therefore delay

It was a oké tour.
Only it was far to hot inside the boot and its was raining. No window open, hearty any air to breathe. Than it was a long boat trip
