Koh Jum sits in Krabi province on the Andaman coast of southern Thailand, and the island is a slow-paced place built around its villages, beaches and hills. It suits guests who want beaches and quiet walks rather than busy streets.

The island is reached by boat, so the last part of the trip is by water, and the pier is where you land. The island pier is 600 m from the property, and the village of Ban Ko Jum is 500 m away. Yao Beach lies 800 m from the property, while Ao Si Beach is 3.4 km away and Khao Ko Pu, a peak in the hills, is 6.4 km away. A Buddhist temple is also close by.

A good day starts with a walk down to Yao Beach and a swim, followed by time at the pier to watch the boats. A longer walk to the Khao Ko Pu peak is a better choice for the afternoon if you want a longer hike. The Buddhist temple near the village makes a quiet stop between the beach and the pier, and the village lanes are easy to explore on foot, and the beach is a good place to end the day.
