Baan Pun Travel vs Phuket Marine Travel

If route choice is your main concern, the networks differ sharply.

• Baan Pun Travel offers a far broader map: it links Ao Nang, Railay, Phuket and Koh Phi Phi with many other islands and mainland points, including Koh Lanta, Koh Lipe, Koh Jum, Koh Kradan, Koh Muk, Koh Ngai, Koh Yao Noi, Koh Yao Yai, Koh Bulone, Pak Bara, Hat Yai, Satun, Trang, Langkawi and more.
• Phuket Marine Travel focuses on a smaller set of popular legs, mainly around Ao Nang, Krabi, Phuket and Koh Phi Phi, plus the shared Koh Phi Phi ↔ Railay corridor.

For multi-island island-hopping, Baan Pun Travel is the more flexible pick. Compare live options for both on ThailandBoatTickets.com, and use our 24/7 Virtual Ticket Assistant (VTA) on WhatsApp, Instagram DM, Telegram or Facebook if you need help matching your itinerary.

They only fully overlap on one pair of routes in the data.

Both Baan Pun Travel and Phuket Marine Travel operate:

• Koh Phi Phi → Railay
• Railay → Koh Phi Phi

They also share the service areas Ao Nang, Koh Phi Phi, Krabi, Phuket and Railay, but many specific pier-to-pier pairs are exclusive to one operator. Outside those two shared legs, you will usually book one company or the other depending on origin and destination.

Check both side by side on ThailandBoatTickets.com so you only see services that really run your crossing.

Vehicle mix is one of the clearest practical differences.

• Baan Pun Travel: Comfort 3pax, Ferry, Speedboat, Standard, Van, and Van 12pax. That range supports pure boat crossings, smaller comfort transfers, and larger van connections.
• Phuket Marine Travel: Aonang Princess Ferry, Ferry, Speedboat, and Van. Combined ferry/speedboat-plus-van style transfers are part of how this operator is described.

If you need a specific style (for example a Van 12pax group transfer or a named ferry like Aonang Princess Ferry), filter by vehicle class when you book on ThailandBoatTickets.com. Our VTA on WhatsApp, Instagram DM, Telegram and Facebook can also help you match vessel type to your group size.

Public review data is very uneven between the two.

• Baan Pun Travel: rating n/a, with n/a reviews in the supplied data — there is no score or review sample to summarise.
• Phuket Marine Travel: average rating 2/5 from 1 review only. That single review is moderately negative overall, though the traveller did say the boat transfer itself was good. The main complaint theme was poor communication. With just one review, this is anecdotal and not a reliable basis for judging overall performance.

Treat scores as a weak signal here and compare schedules and vehicle types carefully on ThailandBoatTickets.com before you decide.

This is the main corridor both companies serve, so you can choose either.

• Baan Pun Travel lists Ferry, Speedboat, Van and other classes (including Comfort 3pax, Standard, Van 12pax), so you may find more transfer-style combinations depending on the day’s schedule.
• Phuket Marine Travel also offers Ferry, Speedboat, Van and Aonang Princess Ferry on its network, and operates both Koh Phi Phi → Railay and Railay → Koh Phi Phi.

Because review volume is tiny (none listed for Baan Pun Travel, one 2-star review for Phuket Marine Travel), pick based on departure time and vehicle type rather than reputation alone. Book the exact sailing you need on ThailandBoatTickets.com and message the 24/7 VTA if you want help comparing the two listings.

Coverage on the classic Phuket–Krabi–Phi Phi triangle is not equal.

• Phuket Marine Travel is the one that lists direct-style legs such as Ao Nang → Koh Phi Phi, Koh Phi Phi → Ao Nang, Koh Phi Phi → Krabi, Krabi → Koh Phi Phi, Koh Phi Phi → Phuket and Phuket → Koh Phi Phi.
• Baan Pun Travel serves the shared areas (Ao Nang, Koh Phi Phi, Krabi, Phuket, Railay) and has many other routes (for example Ao Nang → Phuket, Phuket → Railay, Phuket → Koh Lanta and island hops from Koh Phi Phi to places like Koh Lanta or Koh Lipe), but the specific Phi Phi–Ao Nang / Phi Phi–Krabi / Phi Phi–Phuket pairs above are listed only under Phuket Marine Travel in the data.

For pure Phuket/Ao Nang/Krabi ↔ Phi Phi, start with Phuket Marine Travel; for onward island hops after Phi Phi, check Baan Pun Travel. Both can be booked through ThailandBoatTickets.com.

Yes — but almost entirely with Baan Pun Travel.

Baan Pun Travel alone lists extensive services to and from islands such as Koh Lanta, Koh Lipe, Koh Jum, Koh Kradan, Koh Muk, Koh Ngai, Koh Yao Noi, Koh Yao Yai and Koh Bulone, plus mainland links including Pak Bara, Hat Yai, Satun and Trang. Examples include Ao Nang → Koh Lanta, Koh Phi Phi → Koh Lipe, Phuket → Koh Lipe, Railay → Koh Lanta and many reverse directions.

Phuket Marine Travel does not list those smaller-island routes in the supplied data; its exclusive legs stay focused on Ao Nang, Krabi, Phuket and Koh Phi Phi (plus the shared Railay–Phi Phi pair).

If your trip includes Lanta, Lipe, Jum or similar, plan around Baan Pun Travel on ThailandBoatTickets.com, and use the VTA on WhatsApp, Instagram DM, Telegram or Facebook for multi-stop questions.

Available feedback is limited to one review (rating 2/5), so treat it as a single anecdote, not a full reputation picture.

From that review:

• The traveller noted the boat / transfer ride itself was good.
• Helpfulness mentioned in the review came from local restaurant staff who helped call the company — not from the operator’s own staff.
• The core complaint was poor communication.

There is no meaningful sample of praise patterns or repeated issues beyond that one experience. Baan Pun Travel has no rating or reviews in the data to contrast with.

When booking Phuket Marine Travel (or Baan Pun Travel), keep confirmation details handy and book via ThailandBoatTickets.com, where the 24/7 Virtual Ticket Assistant on WhatsApp, Instagram DM, Telegram and Facebook can support you if plans change.

Both list van-related options, but the mix is not identical.

• Baan Pun Travel offers Van and Van 12pax, plus Comfort 3pax, Standard, Ferry and Speedboat — useful if you want a larger group van or a smaller comfort transfer alongside boat legs.
• Phuket Marine Travel offers Van together with Ferry, Speedboat and Aonang Princess Ferry, and is described as providing combined speedboat/ferry-plus-van style services on its Phuket-area network.

Choose Baan Pun Travel when you need broader island coverage and larger Van 12pax capacity; choose Phuket Marine Travel when your trip is mainly Phuket/Krabi/Ao Nang ↔ Koh Phi Phi with a combined land–sea transfer. Filter vehicle classes and book either operator on ThailandBoatTickets.com.

ThailandBoatTickets.com is the best place to book both Baan Pun Travel and Phuket Marine Travel. You can compare their overlapping Koh Phi Phi ↔ Railay services, see exclusive legs (for example Phuket Marine Travel on Phuket/Ao Nang/Krabi ↔ Phi Phi, or Baan Pun Travel on Lanta, Lipe, Jum and many other islands), and filter by vehicle class such as Ferry, Speedboat, Van or Aonang Princess Ferry.

If you need help choosing, our 24/7 Virtual Ticket Assistant (VTA) is available on WhatsApp, Instagram DM, Telegram and Facebook. That way you get grounded options for both operators in one place before you travel.
