Raja Ferry vs Lanta Super Concord Tour

Both are well regarded, but the numbers tell slightly different stories.

• Raja Ferry holds a 4.21 / 5 average from a large base of 2,206 reviews. About 77.4% are positive (4–5 stars), with the bus-based packages often scoring higher than the ferry leg itself.
• Lanta Super Concord Tour scores higher at 4.47 / 5, though from fewer reviews (383). Sentiment is strongly positive: roughly 88% 4–5 star ratings and only about 5% negative.

If you value a bigger sample of traveller feedback, Raja Ferry has the edge in volume. If you prioritise a higher average score and smoother recent experiences, Lanta Super Concord Tour stands out. Compare live options and vessel types side by side on ThailandBoatTickets.com, and message our 24/7 Virtual Ticket Assistant (VTA) on WhatsApp, Instagram DM, LINE, Facebook Messenger, Telegram, WeChat Weixin, or ChatGPT if you need help reading the reviews for your exact route.

The mix of boats and land transfers is one of the clearest differences.

• Raja Ferry lists: Bus, Economy, Express, Ferry, and Van. Travellers often praise the bus segments for space, reclining seats, leg room, and charging ports; the pure ferry product is rated a little lower and is sometimes described as ageing.
• Lanta Super Concord Tour offers: Bus, Catamaran, Ferry, Longtail Boat, Speedboat, and Van. That gives more choice of faster or smaller craft (speedboat, catamaran, longtail) alongside standard ferry and road links.

On multi-leg trips both may combine road and sea. Check the exact vehicle class on ThailandBoatTickets.com before you book so you know whether you are on a large ferry, a speedboat, or a bus-plus-ferry package.

They overlap on many popular Andaman–Gulf and island connections, so you can often choose either brand for the same corridor.

Shared routes include:

• Ao Nang ⇄ Koh Phangan and Ao Nang ⇄ Koh Samui
• Koh Lanta ⇄ Koh Phangan and Koh Lanta ⇄ Koh Samui
• Koh Phangan ⇄ Ao Nang, Krabi, and Phuket
• Koh Phi Phi ⇄ Koh Phangan and Koh Phi Phi ⇄ Koh Samui
• Koh Samui ⇄ Ao Nang, Krabi, and Phuket
• Krabi ⇄ Koh Phangan and Krabi ⇄ Koh Samui

Shared service areas also cover Ao Nang, Koh Lanta, Koh Phangan, Koh Phi Phi, Koh Samui, Krabi, Phuket, and Railay. On these paths, decide by rating preference, vehicle type (ferry vs speedboat/catamaran), and schedule. Book either operator on ThailandBoatTickets.com and use the 24/7 VTA if you want a quick recommendation for your dates.

Coverage is the biggest practical split.

Raja Ferry is far stronger for long-haul and mainland links. Only Raja Ferry runs extensive services involving Bangkok, Donsak, Hat Yai, Khao Lak, Khao Sok, Surat Thani, Nakhon Si Thammarat, Penang, Kuala Lumpur, airport-style connections such as Koh Phangan → Don Mueang Airport, and many other legs (for example Bangkok ⇄ Koh Samui / Koh Phangan / Phuket / Krabi / Koh Lanta, and Donsak links to multiple islands and cities). Its classic strength is car-and-passenger ferry work between the mainland (Donsak / Surat Thani area) and Koh Samui / Koh Phangan, often sold as bus + ferry + van packages.

Lanta Super Concord Tour focuses more on Andaman-side and island-hopping connections that Raja Ferry does not list in the same way—especially Koh Jum, Koh Tao, Koh Yao Noi, Koh Yao Yai, plus extras such as Ao Nang → Koh Jum / Koh Tao, Koh Phi Phi → Koh Tao / Koh Yao Noi / Koh Yao Yai / Krabi, Krabi → Koh Phi Phi / Koh Tao, and Phuket → Koh Tao.

Pick Raja Ferry for Bangkok, Donsak, or deep southern mainland reach; pick Lanta Super Concord Tour for Jum, Tao, and the Yao islands. Filter both on ThailandBoatTickets.com so you only see operators that actually serve your pier pair.

Raja Ferry is generally seen as a reliable, well-priced, well-organised choice, especially when bus and ferry are combined.

What travellers praise:

• Comfortable, spacious buses (reclining seats, leg room, foot rests, USB/charging, blankets/pillows)—the most common positive theme.
• Bus Express packages rate highest (4.39 from hundreds of reviews); bus products overall are liked more than the boat alone.
• Solid organisation and value on popular Gulf island packages from the mainland.

What draws criticism:

• Ageing ferries and a lower average on the pure ferry leg (about 4.13).
• Occasional delays and poor communication during multi-leg transfers.

Overall: strong for bus-plus-ferry packages to Koh Samui and Koh Phangan, slightly weaker if you care most about the boat experience itself.

Lanta Super Concord Tour has a strongly positive reputation for organisation and friendliness on multi-modal trips.

What travellers praise:

• Smooth, well-organised journeys even with vehicle changes—“organised” and “smooth” appear often with high average scores.
• Punctuality and efficient coordination between ferry, speedboat, catamaran, bus, and van legs.
• Friendly service on Andaman–Gulf and island connections.

Where criticism appears:

• Multi-leg combo trips can involve older buses, crowded boats, or chaotic transfer points.
• Negative reviews are a small share (around 5% 1–2 star in the analysed set), but they cluster on those busier transfer days.

If you want a higher average score and more speedboat/catamaran options on routes such as Koh Lanta, Krabi, Phi Phi, and links toward Samui / Phangan / Tao, this operator is a strong contender. Compare schedules and boat types on ThailandBoatTickets.com and ask the VTA on WhatsApp, LINE, or other channels if you need help choosing a quieter departure.

Comfort depends on whether you care more about the bus or the boat—and both operators have trade-offs.

• Raja Ferry: Travellers repeatedly highlight comfortable, spacious buses as the standout. Packages that include better bus classes (for example Bus Express) score higher than the ferry alone. The ferry itself is more often called ageing, so pure sea comfort is not the main strength.
• Lanta Super Concord Tour: Journeys are frequently described as smooth and well organised, with friendly staff. Downsides on some combos include older buses, crowded boats, and busy transfer hubs—so comfort can vary by leg and load.

For long road segments into a ferry (especially toward Samui / Phangan from the mainland or Bangkok-linked packages), many travellers lean toward Raja Ferry’s bus reputation. For shorter island hops with speedboat or catamaran options, Lanta Super Concord Tour can feel more flexible. Always check the listed vehicle class on ThailandBoatTickets.com before paying.

These are core shared routes, so both operators sell them and you can decide on rating, vehicle mix, and timing.

• Raja Ferry brings a large review base, strong bus-package feedback, and the classic ferry culture of the Gulf island corridor. Expect combined bus / van / ferry style travel; the road portion is often better liked than the boat.
• Lanta Super Concord Tour posts a higher average rating (4.47) and more vehicle variety (speedboat, catamaran, ferry, van, etc.), with frequent praise for punctual, organised multi-leg handovers—though busy transfers can still feel chaotic on peak days.

Neither is “always better”; match the departure time and craft type to your luggage, seasickness preference, and group size. Book on ThailandBoatTickets.com to see both side by side, and use the 24/7 Virtual Ticket Assistant on WhatsApp, Instagram DM, LINE, Facebook Messenger, Telegram, WeChat Weixin, or ChatGPT if you want a quick pick for your date.

Choose Raja Ferry. The data shows extensive only Raja Ferry coverage that Lanta Super Concord Tour does not match on these corridors.

Examples of routes only Raja Ferry operates in the provided set include many Bangkok connections (to and from Ao Nang, Koh Samui, Koh Phangan, Koh Phi Phi, Koh Lanta, Phuket, Krabi, Hat Yai, Khao Sok, Surat Thani, and more), plus Donsak links to islands and cities, and other legs such as Koh Phangan → Don Mueang Airport, Surat Thani packages, and cross-border style destinations like Penang or Kuala Lumpur on certain itineraries.

Lanta Super Concord Tour is not listed for those long-haul Bangkok/Donsak webs; its exclusive strengths sit elsewhere (Koh Jum, Koh Tao, Koh Yao Noi/Yai, and related Andaman hops). For capital-to-island or deep mainland packages, filter Raja Ferry on ThailandBoatTickets.com and confirm the full bus + ferry chain before you travel.

Use Lanta Super Concord Tour. Those destinations appear only under this operator in the supplied route lists.

Exclusive-style coverage includes:

• Koh Jum links with Ao Nang, Koh Lanta, Koh Samui, Koh Tao, Koh Yao Noi, Koh Yao Yai, Krabi, and Railay
• Koh Tao connections involving Koh Lanta, Koh Phi Phi, Krabi, Phuket, and the Yao islands
• Koh Yao Noi and Koh Yao Yai routes to/from Ao Nang, Koh Jum, Koh Phangan, Koh Phi Phi, Koh Samui, Koh Tao, and Krabi
• Related legs such as Krabi → Koh Phi Phi / Koh Tao, Phuket → Koh Tao, and Railay → Krabi

Raja Ferry is not shown for these specific Jum / Tao / Yao patterns; its exclusive network is the long mainland and Bangkok/Donsak side instead. For Andaman island-hopping to Tao, Jum, or the Yaos, book Lanta Super Concord Tour on ThailandBoatTickets.com and message the 24/7 VTA if you need help chaining ferries, speedboats, or vans into one ticket.
