Why this trip

On Koh Jum there is no party scene, no high-rises and only a few paths that are not made of sand or earth. Only a few people live on the island between Krabi and Koh Lanta, and anyone coming as a couple or family finds a rare calm on the Andaman Sea. The beaches are long, the water is shallow in many places, and at low tide sandy flats appear for walking. You snorkel, hire a kayak, take a longtail boat to neighbouring islands and eat in the evening at simple restaurants by the water.

Children play at the shore and look for shells, couples read in the shade. The journey is by boat from Krabi, which calls for some planning because crossings can depend on the tide. Phuket is further away and more of an airport stop than a destination. The best time lies between November and April, in the rainy season boats run less often and much is closed.

What Koh Jum does not offer is choice, and that is exactly why the island suits travellers who put privacy above variety. How long you stay depends on how much you enjoy doing nothing.

Getting there

From Zurich or Basel-Mulhouse, the journey often continues by boat or seaplane, and Private Islands plans the connections.
