Pattana Tour vs Phantip 1970

What travellers say: Pattana Tour vs Phantip 1970

Pattana Tour and Phantip 1970 both operate van-and-ferry routes in southern Thailand, yet traveller feedback reveals a clear contrast in volume, consistency and overall sentiment.

Pattana Tour

With only five reviews averaging 3.4/5, Pattana Tour receives mixed feedback: travellers note safe and on-time arrivals with scenic drives on routes like Surat Thani to Krabi, yet consistently mention cramped vans, luggage crowding the walkway and waits at transfer points such as Krabi bus station.

Phantip 1970

Phantip 1970 earns a strong 4.27/5 across more than 7,400 reviews, with praise for smooth coordinated transfers, helpful staff, frequent early arrivals and good value; common complaints include speeding drivers, cramped minivans, luggage surcharges and occasional poor communication at changeovers. Book either operator seamlessly at ThailandBoatTickets.com and reach their 24/7 Virtual Ticket Assistant (VTA) on WhatsApp, Instagram DM, Telegram or Facebook for real-time help.

Phantip 1970 enjoys far more positive and consistent traveller sentiment than the smaller-sample Pattana Tour, though both deliver functional transfers when expectations are realistic.
