Must-see places in Koh Jum

Things to see and do in Koh Jum

There are no monuments to visit on Koh Jum. Here, the beaches and nature are the main attractions. Well, almost. There is the climb up Mount Koh Pu for a panoramic view of the island. And there's an island tour by tuk-tuk that lasts around 3 hours (last price found: 400 THB per person), but in my opinion, it's only worthwhile if you can't rent a scooter or want a quick tour to get acquainted with the island.

The most interesting beaches, which are also where most of the resorts are located, are on the west coast.

Great for watching beautiful sunsets.

My favorite beaches in Koh Jum (subjective):

• Sunset Beach in the northwest of the island: there are some nice bars and homestays, and the beach is long, quite pretty, and good for swimming. It also has the advantage of being easily accessible by road.
• Coconut Beach: further north, it's perhaps prettier and less crowded.
• Golden Pearl Beach: further south, still on the west coast, it's a long beach.
• Ting Rai Beach: above Golden Pearl Beach, this is where you'll find the friendly Rock Bar.

Several excursions can be organized from Koh Jum, especially to visit Koh Phi Phi and Railay.

Its proximity to Koh Phi Phi makes it an ideal starting point for an early bird tour, departing very early to discover the famous Maya Bay beach with very few people, without having to stay on Koh Phi Phi. Kayaking through the mangroves of Koh Jum is also a great option.

More suggested visits in Koh Jum

• Koh Jum beaches
  There are 6 on the island. The most popular ones are Ting Rai Beach, Andaman Beach and Golden Pearl Beach, they all offer vast and sparsely populated expanses of sand. A path can connect the beaches. This is an opportunity for pleasant walks.
• The nature
  still only a little disturbed by the hand of man, you can have nice serene walks.
