Ko Jum - pre-travel post
Ko Jum is halfway between Krabi and Ko Lanta Yai, and is set to be our little island getaway. There's plenty of accommodation on the island, numerous beaches, a few bars and not much else. The temperatures are in the high 20s in late February, but island breezes offer some respite. The beaches aren't all perfect, but they are generally quiet. The nights are also low key, with parrafin lighting after dark, and most people choosing to spend their evenings in private. The main village is in Ban Ko Jum, where you can find a few small general stores. Rooms start at 600THB, so it's a little pricier here. Most of the North of the island is made inaccessible by large forested hills. The North of the island is usually referred to as Ko Pu.
If you really want to do something, a group could rent a long tail boat and driver and go snorkelling on Bamboo Island or around Phi Phi Leh. You could also rent a kayak and explore the mangrove lined waters of the Krabi River on the east coast, or you could go on a fishing trip guides by one of the local fishermen.
