Kohyao Island Tour vs Baan Pun Travel

Route coverage differs sharply between the two, so your itinerary usually decides the winner.

• Kohyao Island Tour focuses tightly on the Koh Yao Noi area. Beyond the shared legs, it uniquely offers Koh Yao Noi → Koh Phi Phi, Koh Yao Noi → Phuket, and Phuket → Koh Yao Noi.
• Baan Pun Travel operates a much wider network. Only this operator runs services linking Ao Nang, Koh Jum, Koh Kradan, Koh Lanta, Koh Lipe, Koh Muk, Koh Ngai, Koh Yao Yai, Hat Yai, Pak Bara, Satun, Trang, Langkawi, Krabi and many more combinations.

Both serve the shared areas of Ao Nang, Koh Phi Phi, Koh Yao Noi, Phuket and Railay, and both run Koh Yao Noi → Ao Nang and Koh Yao Noi → Railay.

The fleets are quite different, which affects group size, comfort and privacy.

• Kohyao Island Tour lists a single vehicle class: Private Speedboat 17pax. This suits small-to-medium groups who want a dedicated boat rather than a shared service.
• Baan Pun Travel offers a broader mix: Comfort 3pax, Ferry, Speedboat, Standard, Van and Van 12pax. That range lets you choose between pure boat legs, land transfers or mixed journeys depending on the route.

If you need a private speedboat for up to 17 people, Kohyao Island Tour is the clear match in the data. For more options including vans and ferries, Baan Pun Travel gives greater flexibility. Book either operator on ThailandBoatTickets.com so you can see available vehicle classes for your exact date.

Yes — these two legs are the only routes operated by both companies, so you can choose freely on those crossings.

Shared routes both run:

• Koh Yao Noi → Ao Nang
• Koh Yao Noi → Railay

On these paths, Kohyao Island Tour uses its Private Speedboat 17pax, while Baan Pun Travel can deploy from its wider set (Speedboat, Ferry, Standard, Van, etc.). Exact vessel and schedule depend on the day you travel.

Check live departures and vehicle details for both on ThailandBoatTickets.com. If you are unsure which option fits your group size or luggage, message our 24/7 Virtual Ticket Assistant (VTA) on WhatsApp, LINE, Telegram or the other supported channels.

Only one of the two operators lists this corridor in both directions.

• Kohyao Island Tour operates Koh Yao Noi → Phuket and Phuket → Koh Yao Noi using its Private Speedboat 17pax.
• Baan Pun Travel does not appear on the direct Koh Yao Noi–Phuket routes in the supplied data (though it does run many other Phuket connections such as Phuket to Ao Nang, Koh Lanta, Koh Lipe and more).

If your trip is specifically Koh Yao Noi ↔ Phuket, Kohyao Island Tour is the operator to book. Secure your private speedboat seat on ThailandBoatTickets.com and use the 24/7 Virtual Ticket Assistant if you need help with timing or group size.

Again the data shows a clear split.

• Kohyao Island Tour is the only one of the two that lists Koh Yao Noi → Koh Phi Phi, served by its Private Speedboat 17pax.
• Baan Pun Travel does not show a direct Koh Yao Noi → Koh Phi Phi service, although it does connect Koh Phi Phi to many other islands (Koh Jum, Koh Lanta, Koh Lipe, Railay, etc.).

Travellers starting on Koh Yao Noi and heading to Koh Phi Phi should therefore look at Kohyao Island Tour. Compare departure times and book directly on ThailandBoatTickets.com for the simplest checkout.

This is where Baan Pun Travel has the clear advantage according to the route lists.

Only Baan Pun Travel operates the extensive southern and Andaman network that includes (among many others):

• Ao Nang, Koh Jum, Koh Kradan, Koh Lanta, Koh Lipe, Koh Muk, Koh Ngai, Koh Yao Yai
• Hat Yai, Pak Bara, Satun, Trang, Krabi, Langkawi and related multi-leg combinations

Kohyao Island Tour does not list these longer southern routes; its unique legs stay focused on Koh Yao Noi–Koh Phi Phi and Koh Yao Noi–Phuket.

If your journey involves island-hopping across Koh Lanta, Koh Lipe or the Trang–Satun corridor, choose Baan Pun Travel and book on ThailandBoatTickets.com. Our 24/7 Virtual Ticket Assistant can outline possible multi-stop options via WhatsApp, Instagram DM, LINE, Facebook Messenger, Telegram, WeChat Weixin or ChatGPT.

Both can work, but the vehicle data points to different strengths.

• Kohyao Island Tour specialises in a Private Speedboat 17pax. That single class is ideal if you want the whole boat for your party (up to 17 people) on the Koh Yao Noi–linked routes it serves.
• Baan Pun Travel offers Comfort 3pax (very small private-style option) plus Speedboat, Ferry, Standard, Van and Van 12pax. You can therefore pick a tiny private vehicle or a larger shared ferry depending on budget and group size.

For a dedicated private speedboat experience around Koh Yao Noi, Kohyao Island Tour matches the data best. For more vehicle variety including vans and smaller comfort boats, look at Baan Pun Travel. Either way, reserve on ThailandBoatTickets.com so the vehicle class is confirmed before you travel.

There is meaningful overlap, but the total footprint is different.

Shared service areas listed for both:

• Ao Nang
• Koh Phi Phi
• Koh Yao Noi
• Phuket
• Railay

Kohyao Island Tour stays concentrated on the Koh Yao Noi–Phuket–Phi Phi–Ao Nang–Railay cluster. Baan Pun Travel covers those same points plus a far larger set of Andaman and southern Thailand destinations (Koh Lanta, Koh Lipe, Pak Bara, Hat Yai, Satun, Trang, Langkawi and more).

If you only need the shared zone, either operator can work. If you plan to continue further south or hop multiple outer islands, Baan Pun Travel becomes the practical choice. Filter by area and book both operators on ThailandBoatTickets.com.

In the supplied data both operators currently show rating n/a and n/a reviews, so there is no public score comparison available here.

That means your decision should rest on:

• Whether your exact route is listed (only Kohyao Island Tour for Koh Yao Noi–Phuket and Koh Yao Noi–Koh Phi Phi; only Baan Pun Travel for the long southern network)
• Preferred vehicle class (Private Speedboat 17pax vs the multi-class fleet of ferry, speedboat, van, etc.)
• Schedule convenience on the two shared legs (Koh Yao Noi → Ao Nang and Koh Yao Noi → Railay)

Once you know which operator matches your itinerary, book with confidence on ThailandBoatTickets.com. Our 24/7 Virtual Ticket Assistant is ready on WhatsApp, Instagram DM, LINE, Facebook Messenger, Telegram, WeChat Weixin and ChatGPT if you want help reading the schedules.

Match the operator to your route and group needs, then reserve everything in one place.

Quick decision guide:

• Need Koh Yao Noi ↔ Phuket or Koh Yao Noi → Koh Phi Phi? Choose Kohyao Island Tour (Private Speedboat 17pax).
• Need Koh Lanta, Koh Lipe, Koh Jum, Pak Bara, Hat Yai or other southern legs? Choose Baan Pun Travel (Ferry, Speedboat, Van and more).
