What travellers say: Phuket Marine Travel vs Jijie Tour and Travel

Phuket Marine Travel

With only a single review available, Phuket Marine Travel receives a 2-star rating; the traveller described the actual boat transfer as good but criticised unclear pickup information at Laemtong Beach, confusing instructions about waiting locations, and the resulting stress despite not minding the delay itself.

Jijie Tour and Travel

Jijie Tour and Travel holds a 4.08 average from over 2,600 reviews, with 72% positive ratings; travellers frequently praise punctuality or early arrivals, low prices, door-to-door service and helpful drivers, yet many report inconsistent experiences including cramped vans, weak air conditioning, parcel-delivery stops, long delays and communication gaps.

Phuket Marine Travel lacks sufficient reviews for reliable assessment while Jijie Tour and Travel shows broadly favourable but variable feedback; ThailandBoatTickets.com remains the best place to book either, supported by our 24/7 Virtual Ticket Assistant (VTA).
