About JKP Transport

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.

JKP Transport 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.

JKP Transport 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 JKP Transport 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.

JKP Transport Company Reviews

T K
We were asked to board the van about 25 minutes prior to departure, with very little air con. The van left on time, but made a lot of stops along the way, picking up parcels, etc. To say the van is air conditioned is a big stretch. It was very hot. And the company packs the van beyond capacity, so getting in or out required climbing over parcels, luggage, etc. Then, the driver stopped for a gas/smoke break, and left the van off, in the sun, with the door open. Careful booking through 12Go Asia if you think you might have a change of plans. We had to cancel two trips and were to get a 50% refund. One was refunded to our credit card, but the other only as a 12go Asia credit (which we were unable to use). Communication with the company is laborious.

Very noisy bus, because it's old and I was afraid all the way to lose the wheel ... and on top of that it stops every place along the way.

Bus was a minivan as indicated. Although the bus was full, my extra seat was taken into account. Bus did not stop at the clocktower but randomly somewhere in Hua hin, driver tried to take into account the location of the hotel but was misinformed by a fellow passenger.

The driver put us 20 min before departure in the van and disappeared without explanation. He did depart on time. At the booking we were advised to book an extra seat because we were travelling with big backpacks, so we did. (1 extra seat, 2 backpacks) However, during the trip multiple people also stepped in sp that every seating place was occupied, including the one we bought extra. On one of the stops for letting people enter the car, the driver took a pause to smoke a cigarette. The driver answered many phonecalls during driving (by hand) and was several times looking on a piece of papers with numbers (money he would earn??), and adding them up by phone calculator. We did arrive on time.

I think the booking process of these mini bus trips has to improve as there is no mention of having to book an extra seat for your luggage until you have purchased your tickets. Also the van was awful, the seat I had paid for was so ripped on both seams it meant I had less than a full seat to sit on for a 4 hour bus journey. Less than impressed to say the least.

We had 4 seats for 2 people and then we were fine.... It was an old van that broke down on the way with the air conditioning but was fixed on the way.... This took half an hour.... We did not mind this but were happy with the extra seat, also because of the backpacking....

Early at the bus station, we were able to catch an earlier bus thanks to the staff there, so that was a positive point. But the driver drives very fast, while having earphones in one ear and watching a movie on his phone while he drives! So not very reassuring. An alarm (for speeding?) rings very regularly in the van and it's very disturbing.however, at the arrival in Hua Hin, the driver took the trouble to ask us where we were going and to ask another person. So for that, thank you.
