Andaman Wave Master vs Baan Pun Travel

Andaman Wave Master has a clear, publicly reported track record: an average rating of 4.46 from 1,075 reviews, with 87.3% positive (4–5 stars) and only 3.5% negative (1–2 stars). Travellers repeatedly describe the company as well-organized, professional and reliable — some calling it the most professional ferry operator they used across several weeks in Thailand.

Baan Pun Travel has no rating or review count available in the supplied data, so there is no comparable public feedback to weigh.

If proven reputation matters for your decision, Andaman Wave Master currently has the stronger evidence base. Compare both operators and book on ThailandBoatTickets.com, where our 24/7 Virtual Ticket Assistant (VTA) on WhatsApp, Instagram DM, Telegram and Facebook can help you decide.

Both Andaman Wave Master and Baan Pun Travel operate these overlapping routes, so you can choose either for the same pier pairs:

• Koh Lanta → Koh Phi Phi
• Koh Lanta → Phuket
• Koh Phi Phi → Koh Lanta
• Koh Phi Phi → Railay
• Phuket → Koh Lanta
• Phuket → Railay
• Railay → Koh Phi Phi
• Railay → Phuket

They also share service areas that include Koh Lanta, Koh Phi Phi, Krabi, Phuket, Railay and Surat Thani Town. On these shared legs, check departure times, vehicle class and price side by side on ThailandBoatTickets.com before you book.

Baan Pun Travel has a far wider exclusive network. Beyond the shared routes, it alone lists dozens of connections involving Ao Nang, Koh Jum, Koh Kradan, Koh Lipe, Koh Muk, Koh Ngai, Koh Yao Noi, Koh Yao Yai, Koh Bulone, Hat Yai, Pak Bara, Langkawi, Satun, Trang and many more island-to-island and mainland links.

Andaman Wave Master focuses its exclusive routes on core Andaman hubs: Koh Phi Phi ↔ Krabi, Koh Phi Phi ↔ Phuket, Krabi ↔ Phuket, Krabi → Railay and Phuket → Surat Thani Town (among others listed only for them).

If your trip stays on classic Phuket–Krabi–Phi Phi–Lanta corridors, either can work. If you need smaller islands such as Koh Lipe, Koh Jum or Koh Kradan, Baan Pun Travel is usually the only option of the two. Browse the full map of routes on ThailandBoatTickets.com.

Both run a mix of sea and land transfers, but the named classes differ.

• Andaman Wave Master: Ferry, First Class, Premium Class, Speedboat, Standard Class, Van. Review patterns show ratings tend to rise with higher classes, so upgrading often improves the experience.
• Baan Pun Travel: Comfort 3pax, Ferry, Speedboat, Standard, Van, Van 12pax.

Choose Andaman Wave Master if you specifically want First Class or Premium Class seating. Choose Baan Pun Travel if you need a Van 12pax or Comfort 3pax option. Filter by vehicle type when you book either operator on ThailandBoatTickets.com.

Among these two, only Andaman Wave Master operates Phuket → Koh Phi Phi and the reverse Koh Phi Phi → Phuket. Those routes appear in their exclusive list, not among the shared routes or Baan Pun Travel exclusives.

Given Andaman Wave Master’s 4.46 rating from 1,075 reviews and frequent praise for smooth, professional service, this is a well-supported choice for the classic Phuket–Phi Phi crossing. Select your preferred class (Ferry, Speedboat, Premium, etc.) and book on ThailandBoatTickets.com; the 24/7 Virtual Ticket Assistant on WhatsApp, Instagram DM, Telegram or Facebook can help if you have pier or timing questions.

Both operators serve the core shared legs: Koh Lanta ↔ Koh Phi Phi and Koh Lanta ↔ Phuket, so either works for those popular hops.

Baan Pun Travel adds many exclusive Lanta routes that Andaman Wave Master does not cover, including links to Ao Nang, Koh Jum, Koh Lipe, Koh Muk, Koh Ngai, Koh Yao Noi, Koh Yao Yai, Langkawi, Railay and further islands. They also run into Lanta from a wider set of origins.

Stay with either operator for simple Lanta–Phi Phi or Lanta–Phuket trips. If you plan to continue to smaller islands or need more departure variety, Baan Pun Travel expands the options. Compare every Lanta schedule in one place on ThailandBoatTickets.com.
