What travellers say: Raja Car Ferry vs Raja Ferry

Both operators receive strong overall traveller ratings for car-and-passenger ferry services in Thailand, with Raja Car Ferry at 4.33/5 and Raja Ferry at 4.21/5, though the latter draws from a much larger review base.

Raja Car Ferry

Reviewers consistently praise Raja Car Ferry for reliably getting vehicles and passengers across, with comfortable air-conditioned lounge seating and occasional flexibility to board earlier sailings; the main complaints centre on occasional late departures, dated vessels and isolated air-conditioning issues.

Raja Ferry

Travellers highlight Raja Ferry's comfortable buses, good value, helpful staff and stable big-ferry crossings that reduce seasickness, while noting the ferry leg itself rates lower due to ageing vessels, dirty toilets, lack of baggage assistance and occasional delays or transfer disorganisation.

Raja Car Ferry earns slightly higher marks for its core crossing experience while Raja Ferry offers broader reliability on combined routes; book either seamlessly via ThailandBoatTickets.com using our 24/7 Virtual Ticket Assistant (VTA) on WhatsApp, Instagram DM, Telegram or Facebook.
