About Watcharin Tour

The two principal things which make travelling by van so attractive are a wide choice of destinations and affordable prices. Not all vans offer top comfort, enough legroom, or luggage space, but these two points compensate. Besides, it is always vans that launch new routes to emerging destinations paving the road to big bus operators if necessary or remaining the only means of transport to bring you there. Very often, vans offer faster service than big buses, more flexible timetable, and more readily adapt to travellers’ needs in the sense of schedule – if there is a temporary growth in demand due to long weekends or national holidays, vans add more vehicles to their daily fleet easier than other operators. Note though that sometimes vans operate from their own van stations or terminals or have a dedicated section in bigger bus terminals. Always check your van's departure and arrival point as it is not necessarily located at the main bus station.

Watcharin Tour is one of the operators to check if you are going to travel by van. They provide reliable van service and offer tickets with easy and secure online booking.

Watcharin Tour Ticket Prices & Van Classes

Opposite to trains or bigger buses, vans rarely offer you a choice of ticket class. All the seats are the same – call it standard, VIP, or whatever. What can differ, though, is the type of the van itself. Some vans seat only 9-10 passengers. For travellers this means wider seats, more space, and a more comfortable trip. Vans which accommodate up to 15 passengers are also ok but be ready to sacrifice on space for your legs and elbows and very often – for your luggage, too. Sometimes it can be a good idea to buy two seats instead of one to ensure a more comfortable ride – yet it pays to check with the operator if they allow this on your route. Before you book your van ticket, read reviews on Watcharin Tour van service to see what to expect.

Travel by Van: Pros & Cons

Pros of VanTravel

  • Vans can be the only way to reach some of the most remote destinations, smaller towns or villages which are connected neither by big buses nor trains.
  • Vans can also take you to some islands connected with the mainland by large car ferries which do not take big buses but take vans on board, too.
  • Due to a smaller size compared to big buses, vans are more maneuverable on the road. It sometimes results in shorter travel time, especially if your destination is not far away.
  • While vans do have an official stop enroute, they can also get you off at a more convenient point – no need to go to the terminal, just ask your driver. Note that it is not always possible, but in many cases, they will cooperate. It can save you both time and money you would have otherwise spent getting off the terminal on foot or by taxi.

Cons of Van Travel

  • Vans accommodating more passengers may feel quite cramped. Expect limited space for your legs and elbows. Some vans limit the luggage for one ticket to one piece. If you have more bags, suitcases, or backpacks, you may be asked to buy a separate ticket for your luggage, which makes the trip twice as expensive.
  • Not all vans run on schedule. On certain routes, vans leave only when full. Do check it with your operator before buying your ticket, otherwise, you may end up waiting much longer than expected until the van fills up.
  • If there are more reckless drivers on any other means of transport than on vans, we are unaware of it. Some companies install speed control units on their vehicles, but it is not a rare case to hear this unit beeping the whole trip through with the driver not paying attention to it. Always remember to buckle your seatbelt while travelling by van. Though sometimes you will need to make an investigation to find out where your seatbelt is.
  • For those prone to motion sickness there is a good piece of advice: take your medicine half an hour before your van trip, especially if your route includes winding stretches. You are more likely to feel motion sick travelling by van than by bus.

The driver was very nice, the entire team very helpful. But the drive was at least 2 hours longer than anticipated by the website. The air condition wasn’t really working, the entire drive was pretty bumpy.

For the price you pay it’s a good service, A/C, comfy seats and a friendly driver. Could maybe do with more leg room but I’m taller than most Thai people so I expected that.

English is limited at both the office and with the driver but everyone was very helpful despite the language barrier to help me make sure I was on the right bus at the right time. The only concern was that my 3 pm bus left at 2 pm, which I luckily happened to get back to the office in time and got me back to Bangkok early, however, if someone didn't know that it would leave early that could be problematic. The driver had the typical Thai driving style which could bother some people but I am used to it. Van was older and a/c seemed to have some issues with cooling as I noticed the driver checking and turning it up quite often. Overall it was not a bad experience.

I was allowed to leave the Lop Buri Terminal immediately upon arrival, as a van was on the point of leaving, even though my reservation was for more than seven hours later. I had to pay extra for my big suitcase, but less than the individual fare. The trip to Mochit was very comfortable, and took less than three hours,

I arrived early at the bus terminal and was allowed to get on an earlier trip. The driver did not speak any English but was friendly. I had to pay extra for having my suitcase carried on a seat beside me.

You can't pick up your van at the station, but in a parking lot opposite, below the station. Remember to take an extra seat for your suitcases as there is no boot.

The only problem was that the driver kept releasing the gas pedal, which caused us to backfire.
