Only PP Cabana Express currently has published ratings and reviews in the available data. It holds a strong 4.59 average from 32 reviews, with roughly 90.6% positive (4–5 stars), zero 1–2 star reviews, and the Ferry Speedboat class scoring 4.50.

• PP Cabana Express: Travellers repeatedly praise smooth, well-organised transfers and handovers, punctuality, and helpful staff who coordinate boats and onward taxis.
• Baan Pun Travel: No rating or review count is listed, so reputation cannot be compared numerically.

When you need verified feedback before deciding, compare both operators side by side on ThailandBoatTickets.com and chat with our 24/7 Virtual Ticket Assistant (VTA) on WhatsApp, Instagram DM, LINE, Facebook Messenger, Telegram, WeChat Weixin or ChatGPT for the latest availability.

The two operators overlap on a focused set of popular Andaman coast links connecting the main hubs of Ao Nang, Koh Phi Phi, Krabi, Phuket and Railay.

Shared routes are:

• Ao Nang → Phuket
• Koh Phi Phi → Railay
• Phuket → Railay
• Railay → Koh Phi Phi
• Railay → Phuket

On these crossings you can freely choose either operator according to schedule or vessel preference. Book either one instantly on ThailandBoatTickets.com, where our 24/7 Virtual Ticket Assistant can help you pick the best departure.

Coverage differs sharply once you leave the shared core routes.

• PP Cabana Express specialises in the classic Phi Phi–Phuket–Krabi triangle plus a few longer island hops from Koh Phi Phi to Koh Phangan, Koh Samui and Koh Tao. It also runs Ao Nang–Koh Phi Phi, Krabi–Koh Phi Phi, Phuket–Koh Phi Phi and Krabi–Phuket.
• Baan Pun Travel offers a far wider network that includes Koh Jum, Koh Kradan, Koh Lanta, Koh Lipe, Koh Muk, Koh Ngai, Koh Yao Noi, Koh Yao Yai, Koh Bulone, plus mainland connections from Hat Yai, Pak Bara, Satun, Trang, Langkawi and Surat Thani Town.

If your itinerary stays inside the Phi Phi–Krabi–Phuket area, either works; for the outer islands choose Baan Pun Travel. Check exact combinations on ThailandBoatTickets.com and message the VTA anytime for route advice.

Both companies provide a mix of water and land transfers, but the exact classes differ.

• PP Cabana Express: Catamaran, Ferry, Speedboat, Van.
• Baan Pun Travel: Comfort 3pax, Ferry, Speedboat, Standard, Van, Van 12pax.

You therefore have catamarans only with PP Cabana Express, while Baan Pun Travel adds smaller Comfort 3pax and larger Van 12pax options. On shared routes you can filter by vessel type when you book through ThailandBoatTickets.com; our 24/7 Virtual Ticket Assistant can also recommend the most suitable class for your group size.

For pure Phi Phi connectivity PP Cabana Express is the clearer specialist. It alone runs direct links such as Ao Nang–Koh Phi Phi, Koh Phi Phi–Phuket, Krabi–Koh Phi Phi, Phuket–Koh Phi Phi and even longer legs from Koh Phi Phi to Koh Phangan, Koh Samui and Koh Tao.

Baan Pun Travel does serve Koh Phi Phi on several routes (to Koh Jum, Koh Kradan, Koh Lanta, Koh Lipe, Koh Muk, Koh Ngai), yet it does not cover the high-frequency Phi Phi–Phuket–Krabi core that PP Cabana Express dominates.

If Phi Phi is your main base, start with PP Cabana Express on ThailandBoatTickets.com and use the VTA on WhatsApp, LINE or any of the supported messengers to lock in the schedule that fits your stay.

Those destinations sit almost exclusively with Baan Pun Travel. Its extensive network includes Ao Nang, Phuket, Railay, Krabi and Hat Yai connections to Koh Lanta, Koh Lipe, Koh Jum, Koh Kradan, Koh Muk, Koh Ngai, Koh Yao Noi, Koh Yao Yai and Koh Bulone, plus cross-border options to Langkawi and mainland gateways such as Pak Bara and Satun.

PP Cabana Express does not list any of those outer-island routes. Therefore, for multi-island hopping beyond Phi Phi, Baan Pun Travel is the operator that matches your plans. Compare all available sailings and van transfers on ThailandBoatTickets.com and ask the 24/7 Virtual Ticket Assistant for the smoothest multi-leg itinerary.

Review analysis of PP Cabana Express (based on the available subset of the 32 reviews) highlights three recurring strengths:

• Smooth, well-organised transfers and handovers—staff ensure passengers reach the correct boat and are met for onward taxis.
• Reliable punctuality, with travellers noting they arrived “in time” and “in plenty of time to check in.”
• Helpful staff who coordinate the whole journey.

No equivalent qualitative feedback is available for Baan Pun Travel. If organised handovers and a proven high rating matter to you, PP Cabana Express stands out. Book it (or compare both) on ThailandBoatTickets.com and message the VTA for real-time confirmation.

Yes, both cover the core Andaman hubs of Ao Nang, Koh Phi Phi, Krabi, Phuket and Railay. That shared footprint means you can often find either operator for journeys between these five places.

Beyond that core, the networks diverge: PP Cabana Express stays focused on Phi Phi-centric and nearby Gulf-island extensions, while Baan Pun Travel fans out across dozens of additional islands and southern mainland towns. Use the shared areas as your starting point, then filter by your exact islands on ThailandBoatTickets.com; the 24/7 Virtual Ticket Assistant is ready on WhatsApp, Instagram DM, LINE, Facebook Messenger, Telegram, WeChat Weixin or ChatGPT to clarify any route.

Both can move groups, but vehicle options give slightly different flexibility.

• PP Cabana Express offers Catamaran, Ferry, Speedboat and Van—good for larger shared departures.
• Baan Pun Travel adds Comfort 3pax, Standard and Van 12pax classes, giving smaller private-style or medium-group van choices alongside Ferry and Speedboat.

If you need a compact van for 3–12 passengers or a more private feel, Baan Pun Travel’s extra classes may suit better; for classic ferry or catamaran capacity look at PP Cabana Express. Filter by vehicle class and passenger count on ThailandBoatTickets.com and let the VTA help you secure the right option.
