News: 2025 AI Startup TBT in Koh Tao launches first AI booking Service for booking Ferry Tickets in Thailand
We are thrilled to announce the official launch of Thailand Boat Tickets (TBT), an AI-driven startup based in the heart of Koh Tao. After a full year of intensive development starting in 2024, we have successfully built and deployed the first truly intelligent booking service dedicated to navigating Thailand’s extensive ferry networks.
A Year in the Making
Our journey began in early 2024 with a simple mission: to take the stress out of island hopping. For the past year, our team in Koh Tao has been working tirelessly to bridge the gap between traditional ferry operations and modern, instant communication.
By leveraging advanced AI, we’ve created a Virtual Ticket Assistant (VTA) that understands the nuances of Thai travel—from seasonal schedule changes to multi-leg island journeys.
Partnered with the Best
To ensure our customers have access to the most reliable and comprehensive routes, TBT has already partnered with over 10 of Thailand’s leading ferry and speedboat operators, including:
- Lomprayah High-Speed Catamaran
- Songserm
- Boonsiri High Speed Ferries
- Seatran Discovery
- Raja Ferry
- PP Cabana
- …and many more.
These partnerships allow us to provide real-time availability and guaranteed ticketing across the entire country.
24/7 Booking on Your Favorite Apps
We know that travel plans don’t always happen during business hours. That’s why TBT facilitates 24/7 bookings through the apps you already use every day. No more navigating confusing websites or waiting for email confirmations.
You can now chat with our AI assistant and book your tickets instantly via:
- Instagram DM
- Facebook Messenger
- Telegram
Real-time Intelligence & Better Pricing
Unlike traditional booking platforms, TBT provides real-time pricing and availability directly from the operators. Because we are an AI-first startup with low overhead, we are often able to offer cheaper prices than major competitors like 12Go, while providing a much more personal and faster booking experience.
Covering All of Thailand
Whether you are looking for the crystal-clear waters of the Andaman Sea or the vibrant culture of the Gulf, TBT has you covered. Our service spans all major islands and coastal destinations in Thailand, including:
- Koh Tao, Koh Phangan, and Koh Samui
- Phuket and Krabi
- Koh Phi Phi and Koh Lanta
- Koh Chang
Experience the Future of Travel
As we move into 2025, TBT is committed to continuing our innovation in the travel tech space. Our goal is to make Thailand’s beauty accessible to everyone through seamless, intelligent technology.
