How to get to and from Koh Jum?
How to get to Koh Jum ?
To get to Koh Jum, there are several wooden ferry departures from Laem Kruat Pier in Krabi, and also speedboat lines from more distant destinations that stop there during the high season.
The ferry fare from Laem Kruat Pier is 140 THB per adult (but the last recorded price in April 2026 during the oil crisis was 180 THB; I'm not sure if it will go down afterward). There are several departures per day, at least three in the low season. The blue songthaews number 8557 (shared taxis) connect Krabi town center to Laem Kruat Pier (these are the ones that also stop at the airport). Alternatively, book a Grab or a private transfer. Once you arrive at Mutu Pier on Koh Jum, you'll find pickup trucks to take you to the various hotels on Koh Jum. Note that transfers between the pier and your accommodation are often offered free of charge by the hotel, at least for hotels (this isn't always the case for homestays).
Buses and minivans to Koh Jum
Please note: many buses can only be booked 30 days before departure, so they will not appear in our booking partner's results if you search earlier.

Leaving from Koh Jum ?
To leave Koh Jum, you have the choice between the classic ferry to Laem Kruat Pier in Krabi and, in high season, speedboats and Tiger Line ferries to other islands in Phuket. From Laem Kruat Pier, you can wait for the blue songthaews (8557) to reach Krabi airport or the city center, or order a rideshare with Grab or a private transfer (arranged in advance with your hotel).Boats and ferries from Koh Jum
