Megan HWe got to Krabi in one piece. First bus was fairly comfortable and a much shorter journey than was on the timetable email. However our bus driver was 30 mins late. We stopped just before the boarder for a break where the bus driver took all our passports and then asked for 3RM each, this was never communicated to us and we'd spent all our cash because we were leaving malaysia so had to change up money to pay him, still not sure what the 3RM was for. He never communicated anything with us during the boarder crossing which made it unnecessarily stressful. The second mini van was the most uncomfortable journey we have ever been on. But we made it to Thailand.

Mateo EWe were traveling from Georgetown in Malaysia to Krabi in Thaïland.
We had a first driver (van) in Georgetown at 7:45 am with a van to Hatyai in Thaïland. The driver was on time and was really nice because he helped us to have information on where he should drop us. He dropped us at KST office around 12pm. The staff there was really kind, they told us we can let our bags in the office and go to eat and come back at 1:30 pm. We came back earlier because we had nothing to do and we finally had a second driver (van) at 1pm. He took us to a bus station 2 hours away from hat yai and there we had a direct bus to Krabi. He arrived 30 minutes in advance in Krabi.
The two first vans where really confortable but the last bus was really small (but the trip wasn't too long compare to the van).
Good to know: if you travel on weekend or on vacation date, you will need to pay 20 bath per person for immigration in Thaïland.

How to get from George Town to Krabi by Van
Van is a convenient option to get from George Town to Krabi. Van tickets are affordable, vans are generally do a faster job than buses, vans offer a good choice of departures.
Depending on the van type, each vehicle can accommodate between 12 and 15 passengers. Yet an evident drawback of travelling by van is limited space for the luggage. In most cases you will need to keep your bags, backpacks or suitcases under your seat or in the aisle. Thus van is not the best choice if you travel with huge luggage. F this is the case, consider buying a separate ticket for your bags or choose bus instead.
On certain routes, vans are your only choice of transportation as no buses, trains or flights are available between those destinations.
It is a popular question whether it is necessary to book van tickets in advance. Though some routes feature a lot of departures, we still highly recommend booking your seat especially if you are going to take one of the last vans of the day; travelling during weekends, public holidays or busy tourist seasons; are in a group of two or more and want to travel on the same van.
Here is the list of companies that run regular vans between George Town and Krabi and offer tickets for online booking.
How far is from George Town to Krabi?
Vans follow the same routes as buses do. Thus the driving distance between George Town and Krabi will be about 9 km. Some vans do not take the shortest route to Krabi and make detours to pick up and drop off passengers en route. If this is the case, it will result in a longer travel time – you can see it when choosing your ticket.
How long does it take to get from George Town to Krabi by Van?
Most vans need from 10m to 11h hours to get from George Town to Krabi Note though that travel time depends greatly on traffic conditions. Traffic can be dense around the rush hour at both your departure point and destination. Weather conditions – e.g. heavy rain – often result in longer travel time, too.
Before booking your van tickets, check how long the trip with each operator takes as some vans follow longer routes to Krabi or make detours.
Also, it is important to know that van companies that accept online booking offer scheduled van departures; yet there are also some vans which depart only when full, and in certain cases the waiting period can be long. Thus choosing an operator that runs vans on a set schedule is always a better idea.

Just like taxis, the advantage of travelling by van is that you can ask the driver to stop by stores, supermarkets and other establishments. You can stop anywhere at any time since you are basically renting the van and not just paying for taxi fare.

Vans are especially useful when travelling with large and sensitive equipment like photography setups and large computers. Trunks and compartments might not be a safe holding area for fragile packages. Placing them inside the roomy and well-padded interior of van will make it more secure and safe.
