On Ting Rai Beach, on the west coast of Koh Jum island (also known as Koh Pu), Koh Jum Ocean Beach Resort lines its wooden bungalows facing the Andaman Sea. An oceanfront address designed for those seeking a Thai island still untouched by mass tourism, midway between Krabi and Koh Lanta.

Why choose this accommodation

Koh Jum remains one of the discrete islands of the Andaman Sea, with no airport and minimal large hotel infrastructure. The resort takes advantage of this tranquility with a direct beachfront setting on Ting Rai Beach, oriented toward stunning sunsets. The wooden bungalows, with their refined structure, prioritize local materials and thoughtful comfort over impersonal luxury. The property suits couples, travelers seeking peace and families alike, with several spacious units designed for four guests.

Atmosphere

The pace here is unhurried: no nightclub, no oversized complex. The beach and restaurant serve as the heart of the resort, while the spa extends the day. The décor blends dark wood, natural fabrics and nautical touches—particularly evident in the Seaview Boat House, designed like a floating home. WiFi is available in all bungalows for those who need to stay connected, but the spirit of the place invites you to close the laptop instead.

The rooms

The resort offers several categories of bungalows and villas, all wooden:

• Deluxe Cottage — 42 m², king bed, rain shower. Compact format for two guests.
• Honeymoon Villa — 49 m², queen bed dressed in Egyptian cotton sheets, semi-outdoor bathroom with bathtub, sea view from the bedroom.
• Spa Villa — 65 m², queen bed, integrated spa facilities and large private terrace.
• Seaview Boat House — beachfront bungalow, ship-themed décor, queen bed.
• Family Seaview / Sunset View — 65 m², up to 4 guests, panoramic balcony with dining area.

WiFi covers all bungalows.

Dining and services

The restaurant occupies the waterfront with an open terrace overlooking the Andaman Sea. Breakfast is served buffet-style or à la carte; lunch and dinner feature alternating Thai and international cuisine. The Ocean Bar in the dining area extends your meal with cocktails, wines and beers.

For wellness, Ocean Spa offers a classic yet comprehensive menu: Thai massage, oil massage, facials, foot massage. Treatments can be enjoyed in a private cabin, in your room, on the terrace or directly on the beach—a format especially appreciated by couples.

Location and access

Krabi Airport is the primary gateway. From there, you'll need to reach Laem Kruat port (approximately one hour by road depending on traffic), then board a boat to Koh Jum. Another option during high season is arriving from Koh Lanta via regular inter-island connections. Schedules vary by season and weather conditions, so it's best to verify them in advance. The resort can arrange a private transfer including road shuttle and boat transfer—request this when booking.

When to visit

Thailand's west coast (Andaman Sea) follows a distinct seasonal pattern. November through April offers the most stable conditions: calm seas, clear skies, uninterrupted boat service. From May to October, the monsoon makes maritime connections unreliable and many Koh Jum establishments reduce operations or close entirely. Check the resort's opening dates before finalizing your itinerary.

Nearby attractions

Koh Jum lends itself well to a combined stay in the Krabi region. To extend your island experience, Koh Jum island itself offers hiking trails, wilder neighboring beaches and fishing villages. On the mainland, several addresses complement a broader itinerary: Ban Sainai Resort in the karst hinterland of Ao Nang, Centara Ao Nang Beach Resort & Spa on the beachfront, or Banyan Tree Krabi for a more upscale option.
