Fodor's Expert Review Koh Jum Lodge

On the island of Koh Jum, in Phang Nga Bay between Krabi, Phi Phi, and Koh Lanta, Koh Jum Lodge has rooms in 20 wooden cottages designed in traditional Thai architectural style, on the grounds of a coconut palm plantation in a tropical garden setting. All cottages are near the beach, facing Phi Phi Islands to the west, each benefiting from sunset and sea views. Although the resort is open all year, public boats do not service it year-round. During the high season (November to mid-May), boats from Krabi to Koh Lanta stop offshore, where longtail boats ferry you to the island. The remainder of the year you must contact the resort to hire a B3,000 longtail for the 40-minute ride out to the island from Krabi.
