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?
Udomrat 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 Udomrat 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.

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.

We arrived late because we were waiting for another boat, which made us 45 minutes late to the airport. They knew we wouldn’t arrive at 6 AM as stated on the voucher, so why tell customers that we would arrive at 6 AM?
The boat journey itself was fine. The comfort was quite basic—there was no sink, but we were expecting that.

Beds were really small and uncomfortable, specially the pillows. There were people sleeping all along the aisle and there wasn’t space enough for people belongings. The restroom was located in the first floor, one unit per men, other unit per women. It was impossible to sleep until the sea was calm due to the speed of the boat plus the sea waves.

Everything went smoothly. We just didn’t quite understand why we were told to be at the bus station 30 minutes before departure and then had to wait a long time at the harbor (2.5 hours) after the ride. We would have preferred a slightly later departure from Khao Sok National Park. As it was, we had to leave as early as 5:40 a.m.

Overall they got us to our destination at the time they said. The first half of the trip was comfortable because the van wasn’t full. What wasn’t mentioned is they drop you off at Krabi station, and you have to wait for a transfer to take you more directly to where you’re going in Koh Lanta. If you want to be taken directly to the hotel you have to pay extra (cash) to one of the workers at the station. The second van was packed and had luggage in the rows which wasn’t great. Fine experience for the price but just be aware it might be longer especially if you’re the last drop off in the van.

We booked a transfer from Khao Sok to Koh Lanta, departure was at 9.00 and we arrived at 14.30. We had to change vans in Krabi and then continued to Koh Lanta via the Hua Hin Pier. Both vans were full and we had to put some luggage in the rows, but overall the experience was smooth and very good value for money.

Sleeper boat was on time and actually got to the destination early, but it is not very comfortable. Obviously we are paying budget prices so dont expect excellence. But there were extra mattresses all over the floor meaning the boat was overcrowded

We travelled from Khao Sok to Ao nammao in a van. The van left Khao Sok at 9h15 which is normal in Thailand. The trip was overall 3 hours which was the previously stated time for the travel. We stopped at Krabi before. The driver was super nice. Half trip we stopped at a service station

The company added a person to our second leg of the van last min and my partner and I were squished next to all the luggages with no room while others had room. We paid extra for space for our luggage too. They shouldn’t have added the extra person last minute.

We went from Khao Sok to Koh Tao. We arrived at the van station and checked in then you get a sticker so when the cans arrive they come and look at the sticker and take u with them. you get the van to another van station about 1.5 hours away. Then swap to another van, again they look at the sticker, then they drive another hour to the kind of ferry station. from there u need to check in and get a ticket. one side of the ticket is for the bus, the other for the ferry. u wait for the bus this then takes about an hour to get to the pier, then it’s a high speed catamaran which stops at koh samui and pangnan on the wait so u arrive at koh tao about 2.5 hours later. the entire journey took about 8 hours and it was all very organised. with 12go i’ve found u just have to go with it. u don’t get told how many vans or ferries u are taking as long as the start and end point are right u just have to trust them and they do this all the time it’s very organised.

We booked the bus Khao Sok - Koh Lanta. The company was very well organised, the bus left on time and the driver spoke good English.
We asked them if they could make a stop in Krabi (not our destination on the ticket) because one of us was sick and needed to go to hospital. They were extremely understanding, stopped in Krabi and even drove us to the hospital for free in one of their vans (since they couldn't refund us the money for the rest of the trip), amazing service!

The driver from hat yai to penang was awful. He took a private customer a lady who delayed 4 tourists for an hour at passport control. He also took her to her personal home to South penang before taking us to George town. He refused to speak with us ignoring us and did not take us to komtar which was the only terminal. He started driving around and wanted to take us to places we didn't ask for. We had to yell at him in the end. He was weird and awful. He and this woman talked between themselves. They delayed our arrival and because of traffic going southward arrived after 19:00. All of us are tourists and we're angry and tired after leaving koh tao the previous night. Totally unacceptable.

I didn't have time to take a break between the transport (except after ferry but very early morning so everything is closed and the place I waited was remote). We never stopped in places I could buy food. It was a long way without being able to eat.
