Phantip 1970 Co., Ltd. Shared Minivan: An Affordable Way to Travel


The Phantip 1970 Co., Ltd. shared minivan is a join-in transfer service, meaning your seat is shared with other travelers heading in the same direction rather than booking the whole vehicle privately. It's a practical, budget-friendly option for getting between airports, bus stations, piers, and hotels in the Surat Thani, Koh Samui, and Koh Phangan area.


How the shared minivan service works


With a shared minivan, you reserve an individual seat rather than the entire vehicle. Phantip 1970 Co., Ltd. groups passengers travelling the same route together, which keeps the fare lower than a private transfer while still getting you door-to-door or point-to-point without the wait times of a public bus.


Where Phantip 1970 Co., Ltd. operates


Phantip 1970 Co., Ltd. is an established Thai transport operator with offices in Surat Thani town and at the Surat Thani train station, and it is well known for connecting travelers across the Gulf of Thailand islands. Its shared minivan often forms part of a combined bus-and-ferry journey, linking overland transfers with onward boat crossings such as those operated by Lomprayah, Seatran Ferry, Raja Ferry, Andaman Wave Master, and Samui Seaway.


If your trip includes a ferry leg to or from Koh Phangan, you can check the Surat Thani Airport to Koh Phangan route for combined transfer and ferry options.


Booking your Phantip 1970 Co., Ltd. shared minivan seat


Exact pickup points, departure times, and fares depend on the specific route and travel date, so always check the details shown for your chosen journey before confirming. Booking in advance is recommended, especially during high season, since shared minivan seats on popular routes can fill up quickly.

Frequently asked questions

How do I unlock my account now?

Wait, and try again. Every lock lifts on its own — a minute the first time, and never more than an hour however many attempts have failed. There is nothing to click and nobody to contact.

If you have forgotten your password, do not keep guessing: each wrong attempt makes the next wait longer. Use Forgot password instead. Resetting your password gets you straight back in.

My account locked but I never tried to sign in

Then someone else was trying to sign in as you, and the lock did its job — it stopped them.

Your account is safe: a lock means the attempts failed. Nobody got in. You do not have to do anything, and the lock will lift on its own.

We would still recommend two things:

  • Change your password, especially if you use the same one on another website.
  • Add an authenticator app in your account security settings, so a password alone is never enough to sign in as you.

If you get these repeatedly, contact us and we will look into it.

What is the difference between a locked and a blocked account?

Locked is automatic and temporary. It happens after repeated failed sign-in attempts and it lifts by itself — within a minute in most cases.

Blocked is a decision made by our team, and it does not lift on its own. If your account is blocked you will need to contact us; waiting will not change it, and neither will resetting your password.

If you are not sure which applies to you, get in touch and we will tell you.

Why is my account locked?

We lock an account for a short time after several failed sign-in attempts in a row. It is an automatic safety measure: it stops someone else guessing your password, and it happens whether or not the person typing was you.

You do not need to contact us. The lock lifts on its own — see How long am I locked out for?

How long am I locked out for?

The first lock is one minute. If sign-in keeps failing after that, each further lock lasts longer:

  • 1st lock — 1 minute
  • 2nd lock — 5 minutes
  • 3rd lock — 15 minutes
  • 4th lock and after — 1 hour

An hour is the longest you will ever be locked out. You get five attempts before the first lock, and as soon as you sign in successfully everything resets — the next time you mistype, you start again at one minute.

How can I get transportation to the Pier (Phuket) from the airport?

You can pick up a taxi from the airport just outside Phuket airport terminal, though please be informed it is a busy place! 

 

Alternatively, you can organize your transfer through us on step 2 of your ferry booking process. The prices are very reasonable. For up to 3 people we have private taxis and for groups of 4-8 people, we can arrange a minivan pick-up service.
