Koh Jum to Phang Nga: Ferry and Transport Guide
Travelling from Koh Jum to Phang Nga links a quiet, laid-back island with one of the Andaman coast's main transport hubs. Koh Jum, also known locally as Ko Pu, sits between the better-known islands of Koh Lanta and Koh Phi Phi, and is usually reached by a mix of longtail or speedboat transfer and road connections rather than a single direct ferry. Phang Nga town, the destination end of this route, is the provincial capital and a common stop for travellers continuing on to Khao Lak or the piers used for Phang Nga Bay tours.
Seasonal availability
This route operates January to May and November to December. Outside these months, sea conditions in this part of the Andaman make the crossing unreliable, so boats are suspended and the booking engine will show no available departures. If you are travelling out of season, consider the road-and-ferry combination via Krabi, which runs on a more consistent year-round schedule, or check back closer to the start of the next operating window.
How to get from Koh Jum to Phang Nga
The journey typically combines a boat transfer from the pier on Koh Jum with an onward speed boat for the mainland leg to Phang Nga. Bundhaya Speed Boat is among the operators running this route, and total journey time is around the scheduled journey time, though this can vary with sea conditions, tide times at the Koh Jum pier, and how well the boat and road legs are timed to connect. Onboard facilities depend on the operator and vehicle used, but commonly include onboard facilities.
Schedules, frequency and pricing
During the operating season, 2 are available on this route, so it's worth booking ahead in high season to secure your preferred departure time rather than arriving at the pier and hoping for space. Fares start from ฿1,200 per person; the exact price depends on the operator, the vehicle class, and how far in advance you book. Exact departure and arrival times vary by operator and by day, so always check the specific schedule shown at booking rather than relying on a fixed time, since missing a connection on this route can mean waiting until the next available departure.
Booking your trip

Frequently asked questions
What's the boarding process on the day of my trip?
At the pier named on your ticket, look for the staff of the ferry operator listed on your ticket as well. Please present your e-ticket (QR code) from your phone or other device—they’ll provide you with a sticker and/or boarding pass and direct you to your boat. Most piers have staff available to help load your luggage. In Koh Samui, staff are usually stationed at booths near the boarding area; at other locations, they’re typically near the boats, wearing their company uniforms.
Do I need to print my ferry ticket or is mobile ok?
You don't need to print your ticket. On the day of travel, simply present your e-ticket (QR code) from your phone or other device to the ferry operator staff at the pier named on your ticket—they'll give you a sticker and/or boarding pass and direct you to your boat.
If you'd prefer a printed copy, you can register as a member on our site, which allows you to easily print out your e-tickets and VAT receipts.
What happens if my ferry is cancelled due to weather?
If your trip is cancelled due to bad weather, you can choose between receiving a refund or rescheduling your journey.
Please note that refunds for bad weather are only issued if the ferry operator cancels the trip. Also keep in mind that speedboats are more likely to be cancelled than ferries, as ferries can usually operate in the rain except in extremely bad weather — though journeys may take a little longer during storms or strong winds.

What are the baggage allowances?
Your ferry e-ticket includes ferry transport, baggage fees, and handling. The free baggage allowance per person is 20–25 kg, depending on the operator. If your baggage exceeds this limit, you can pay the extra fee directly to the ferry operator in cash.
To check the baggage allowance for your specific trip, please refer to the trip details for your selected route.
Can I change the date of my ticket?
Yes, you can change your trip date as long as you provide notice at least 24, 48, or 72 hours before departure—the exact timeframe depends on the ferry operator you booked with. A small service fee of 200 baht per person applies for a second change.
Please note:
Changes must be for the same operator and boat type as your original booking.
The change applies to the entire booking; for example, if your booking is for 3 passengers, we cannot change the date or time for just one of them.

If I miss my ferry, can I take the next one?
Unfortunately, it is not possible. Tickets will expire for late arrivals and are strictly non-refundable and non-changeable.
To avoid missing your trip, please plan to arrive at the pier at least 30 minutes before departure to allow enough time for check-in and boarding.
