On the west coast of Koh Jum, facing the Andaman Sea, Cha Cha Bungalow offers simple beachfront accommodation, away from the main tourist flows of the Krabi region. The property focuses on bungalows built with natural materials and direct access to the shoreline, in a preserved island setting.

Why choose Cha Cha Bungalow

Koh Jum remains a discreet island in the Andaman Sea, situated between Koh Lanta and Koh Phi Phi. Cha Cha Bungalow embodies this spirit: a small-scale accommodation suited to travelers seeking a beach retreat without the intensity of nearby resorts. The west coast where it is located overlooks long, underdeveloped beaches, ideal for swimming and sunsets.

• Individual bungalows built with local materials, with terrace
• Direct access to the beach and Andaman Sea
• On-site restaurant and massage service
• Regular boat connections with Krabi, Phuket and neighboring islands

Atmosphere

The ambiance is that of a small Thai island that has remained apart from the beaten path: minimal traffic, no massive hotel structures, quiet evenings punctuated by the ebb and flow of the tide. Cha Cha Bungalow benefits from an isolated location that limits crowds, making it a more contemplative stop than a festive one. Travelers seeking nightlife will need to look toward Koh Phi Phi or Koh Lanta; here, the rhythm follows the island's own pace.

The bungalows

The bungalows are built with natural materials: polished wooden floors, palm accents and thatched roofs, in a style that harmonizes with island architecture. The interiors are maintained daily by housekeeping and equipped with mosquito nets. Each unit features a private bathroom with hot water and wifi access.

On the exterior, each bungalow has its own private terrace with tables and chairs; some units are also fitted with a hammock. This space allows guests to dine outdoors or enjoy the view without leaving their accommodation.

On-site services

• Restaurant: open to guests of the property, it serves Thai dishes and offers cocktails. It is also the main meeting point between travelers.
• Massages: sessions are provided on-site by hotel therapists, to be booked directly at reception.
• Wifi and daily housekeeping: included in all units.

Location and access

Koh Jum is reached by boat from the mainland. From Krabi, connections depart from Laem Kruat and Nopparat Thara ports. From Phuket, boarding takes place at Bang Rong port. Boats also connect the island to Koh Phi Phi, Koh Lanta and Koh Yao Noi, allowing it to be easily incorporated into an archipelago itinerary. Once there, the Cha Cha Bungalow team arranges transfers from the port to the accommodation.

Surrounding area

Two beaches structure the beach life of Koh Jum:

• Golden Pearl Beach: a long stretch of pale sand, ideal for swimming and sunset walks.
• Ting Rai Beach: further north, frequented for its calm waters.

Baan Ko Jum market, within short distance, gives insight into the daily life of locals. To extend the experience, a boat excursion into the mangrove allows observation of local wildlife, including monkeys and birds. Neighboring islands, Koh Phi Phi foremost among them, are accessible for day trips to snorkel or discover the limestone formations emblematic of the Andaman Sea.

To compare with other options in the region, consult the ecological properties near Krabi, the bungalows of Ao Nang or the Koh Jum page to place the accommodation in its island context.
