Sights and activities on Koh Jum: There are no monuments to visit on Koh Jum. The beaches and nature are the main attractions. Well, almost. You can climb Koh Pu mountain and enjoy a panoramic view of the island. There's also a roughly three-hour tuk-tuk tour (last price found: 400 THB per person), which, in my opinion, is only worthwhile if you can't rent a scooter or want to get a quick overview of the island. The most beautiful beaches, where most of the resorts are located, are on the west coast. Here you can enjoy stunning sunsets. My favorite beaches on Koh Jum (subjective): Sunset Beach in the northwest of the island: There are some nice bars and guesthouses here, the beach is long, very beautiful, and perfect for swimming. It's also easily accessible by car. Coconut Beach: Further north, it might be even more beautiful and less crowded. Golden Pearl Beach: Further south, also on the west coast, stretches a long beach. Ting Rai Beach: The popular Rock Bar is located above Golden Pearl Beach. Numerous excursions can be organized from Koh Jum, especially to Koh Phi Phi and Railay. Its proximity to Koh Phi Phi makes Koh Jum an ideal starting point for early morning tours. This allows you to set off early and discover the famous Maya Bay Beach almost deserted, without having to spend the night on Koh Phi Phi. A kayaking tour through the mangroves of Koh Jum is also a great option.
More excursion tips on Koh Jum: Koh Jum boasts six beaches. The most popular are Ting Rai Beach, Andaman Beach, and Golden Pearl Beach. They all offer expansive, uncrowded stretches of sand. A path connects the beaches, inviting you to take relaxing strolls. Since nature here is still largely untouched, you can enjoy undisturbed and peaceful walks.
