Koh Lanta to Bangkok Private Van with Driver

A private van with driver from Koh Lanta back to Bangkok is ฿17,200 for a Toyota Commuter and ฿34,100 for a Toyota Alphard per vehicle one way, including fuel, tolls, the driver and drinking water. The drive covers about 835 km and takes roughly 10.5–13.5 hours with rest stops: we collect you at your resort on Koh Lanta Yai, the van crosses to the mainland on the car ferry with you on board so you never move your luggage to another vehicle, and we drop you at your home, hotel or Suvarnabhumi/Don Mueang airport.

Why book this route with us

084-709-3719

One price per vehicle

฿17,200 for a Commuter and ฿34,100 for an Alphard one way, including fuel, tolls, the driver and drinking water. The fare is per vehicle, not per passenger.

Pickup at your resort

The driver comes to your accommodation on Koh Lanta Yai at the agreed time, so you do not drag luggage to a songthaew or wait for a shared minivan.

Your van boards the car ferry

You leave Koh Lanta Yai over the Siri Lanta Bridge to Koh Lanta Noi, then the van drives onto the car ferry to Hua Hin Pier on the mainland while you stay in your seat.

Airport drop-off available

We drop you at your home, a Bangkok hotel or Suvarnabhumi/Don Mueang airport for the same fare. Tell us your flight time when you book and the driver will plan the departure with a buffer.

Can be split over two days

Travelling with small children or older passengers, you can break the journey overnight in Surat Thani or Chumphon; driver accommodation is ฿500 per night, so please mention it when booking.

Travel tips for this route

  1. At about 835 km the drive takes roughly 10.5–13.5 hours including rest stops, so leave Koh Lanta before dawn if you need to reach Bangkok before evening.
  2. The car-ferry charge is not part of the van fare and the team confirms the amount when you book; in high season allow extra time for the ferry queue.
  3. Flying out of Suvarnabhumi or Don Mueang? Give us your flight time when you book; we suggest reaching the airport at least 3 hours before an international flight, or splitting the trip over two days for an early departure.
  4. Send your resort name and a Google Maps pin — Koh Lanta Yai runs about 30 km from Saladan down to the southern beaches.
  5. Travelling with young children, tell us their ages and numbers when booking; a child or booster seat is ฿300 each.
  6. During the monsoon (about May to October) heavy showers make the hill sections slippery, so the driver slows down and the trip takes longer.
