While the northern village of Baan Ko Pu and southern Baan Ko Jum both have a relaxed air, the latter is where you’ll find the widest range of traveller services, including restaurants with English menus, currency exchange, motorbike rental and side-car motorbike taxis. This is because the most widely used local ferry arrives here, though most travellers now opt for the speedboat that runs between Krabi town and Ko Lanta and stops off Jum’s west coast during high season.

Orientation
The northern part of the island is referred to as Ko Pu ("Crab Island") while the south is known as Ko Jum. Confusingly, these names are interchangeable when describing the island as a whole.

All of the beaches are found on the west coast. Mt Pu lies to the north, and the east coast is mostly mangrove forest apart from a few low-key fishing villages. The small and largely uninhabited islands of Ko Sima, Ko Tolang and Ko Lek add to the splendid eastern views, while Ko Phi Phi can be clearly seen to the west.

The island’s 1500 inhabitants live in three main villages: Koh Pu, to the north, Ting Rai in the middle, and Koh Jum in the south. Mainly farmers and fishermen, only a handful of the islanders have embraced the mini tourist boom – the majority of the entrepreneurs come from the mainland, or further afield. They are not averse to tourists however, and long stay guests often rent cycles or motorbikes and become regulars in the friendly coffee shops.

Koh Jum’s tempo ranges from slow to inert, and follows an entirely natural rhythm: you wake up early with the sun, and go to sleep a few hours after sunset – which is often an impressive show of light behind the cliffs of Phi Phi on the horizon. Infrastructure is very basic: mains electricity was brought to the island’s villages a few years ago, but only the more expensive hotels have invested in the lines to bring power to the beach, so many are still reliant on generators that are usually switched on at sundown and off again at midnight or sunrise.

Koh Jum is a small island, midway between Krabi Town and Koh Lanta (around 25km to the north and south respectively), with Koh Phi Phi lying 20km to the west. The northern part of the island is dominated by the jungle-covered peak of Koh Pu, some 400 metres high, while the south is mostly flat with rubber plantations and scrubland. The west coast, where all the bungalow resorts are located, has around 12km of wild and (to the north) rocky beaches, facing the Andaman Sea.
