What can I say other than that the Google reviews reflect the reality quite well, and that the difference in ratings between Google and 12Go Asia is quite strange and misleading. Our scheduled pick-up time was 8:40 am at our hotel. Since the voucher specifies that the actual pick-up time may be approximately 30 minutes before or after the scheduled time, we played along and were ready 30 minutes early. Also, given the luggage policy stating that passengers are only allowed “one bag with fairly restrictive dimensions”, we also played along and booked three seats for two people, so that we could use the third seat to place our two reasonably sized backpacks. In the end, at 8:46 am, there was still nothing: no message on WhatsApp, no information, no van. So I decided to send a WhatsApp message to the number specified on the 12Go Asia voucher. No response. At 9:17 am, we decided to call the WhatsApp number. While it was ringing, we received a message from another WhatsApp (note on the voucher) number telling us that the van would arrive in 5–10 minutes, along with an apology. The van finally arrived at 9:40 am. Yeah ! We then went to pick up some other passengers, which is completely normal. Out of curiosity, I asked them what their scheduled pick-up time was, and they told us 10:00 am — even though their hotel was only five minutes from ours. Hum, the difference between our scheduled pick-up times was quite significant. I assume the company simply forgot to let us know that our pick-up time had changed. At least, that’s what I imagine happened. We then stopped at the Krabi bus terminal to pick up some locals. Again, no problem : this is mentioned on the voucher. However, you have to bear in mind that the Krabi bus terminal is not the only stop: there are multiple bus stops along the road to Koh Lanta. The problem is that they seem determined to fill the van to capacity. As mentioned in other Google reviews and 12goAsia, passengers sitting behind us ended up having suitcases under their legs. Luckily, we had played along and booked our third seat. Yeah ! Obviously, when you’re transporting tourists, they are going to have luggage, so this luggage policy seems rather strange. Why not. Another issue is that the van is also used for deliveries. It was carrying various parcels, some of which were quite large, taking up additional space inside the van. So, on top of the frequent stops at bus stops, the driver also had to stop to pick up parcels and, of course, deliver them. Finally, we had to change vehicles about 15 minutes before reaching our hotel so that they could finally drop us off. (Why not, I guess.) With all these little complications, we ended up arriving at our destination two hours later than the original arrival time stated on the voucher. We didn’t have anything specifically planned, so it wasn’t a major issue for us, but it’s definitely something future passengers should take into account. Aside from all of this, the lack of communication, the lack of clear information about the frequent stops ( particularly the parcel pick-ups and deliveries, but a very kind local passenger explained to us after she was picked up at a bus stop and thank you to her !) and, the lack of professionalism, the journey itself went well. The driver was friendly, drove safely, and we eventually arrived at our destination. However, the lack of communication at the beginning was quite stressful, especially when we had no idea what was happening. The purpose of this review is to help the company improve and provide a better service. Consider this constructive feedback.

Everything went well, we arrived early and they put us on an earlier van. Air-conditioning was not very good and we were dropped on a road, while other passengers were delivered right to the hotel. We had to cross two roads (no official designated crossing and very fast cars) with heavy bags. I wasn't happy. Will chose a different operator on the way back.

First of all the driver was going a bit too fast, at times twice the speed that he was supposed to. Of course this meant a shorter drive, but it wasn’t comfortable especially when the roads weren’t that good. Also we were supposed to be picked up at 11:40, but were contacted via WhatsApp and asked if 11 was fine, which it was, but at 10:35 we got a call from our reception and was told that the driver was already there waiting for us with the car full of other passengers. This meant that we had to rush out.

It was great, smooth. We made a lot of stops and our driver took us to the wrong hotel but he was very apologetic and bought us a snack.

How to get from Krabi to Koh Lanta by Van

Van is a convenient option to get from Krabi to Koh Lanta. 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 Krabi and Koh Lanta and offer tickets for online booking.

How far is from Krabi to Koh Lanta?

Vans follow the same routes as buses do. Thus the driving distance between Krabi and Koh Lanta will be about 25 km. Some vans do not take the shortest route to Koh Lanta 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 Krabi to Koh Lanta by Van?

Most vans need from 30m to 4h hours to get from Krabi to Koh Lanta 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 Koh Lanta 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.

How much does it cost to get from Krabi to Koh Lanta by Van?

When using a van, the fare or ticket price for travelling from Krabi to Koh Lanta is pre-computed. This usually includes toll fees, gas and other overheads. But, it is recommended to read the details and ask for clarifications when this is not clear at the onset.

Pre-computed fares for vans can be expensive but unlike buses and trains; you would not need to buy a ticket for each passenger. For a big group of 12 or more people, this translates to huge savings compared to getting multiple taxis.

This makes it a cheap option for travelling when in groups. The van service will also not charge extra for bags and luggage, as long as it fits inside the van.

Best Rated Companies for this Route

Getting a van service for your group can offer extra space, comfort and convenience not found in other transport options. Unlike taxis or buses which have numerous trips per day, a van service is usually scheduled. But some van services do follow a scheduled departure time. Please check our listings for such services.

Having your entire group together for a long trip can add to the enjoyment. This can allow your group to discuss and even sing to your heart's content without fear of bothering others.

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. You can use this opportunity to take epic groupie pics at local landmarks and tourist spots.

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.
