How to get from Koh Lanta to Koh Jum
Koh Lanta to Koh Jum Ferry
Sailing between Koh Lanta and Koh Jum is one of the shortest inter-island hops on this stretch of the Andaman coast, linking Koh Lanta's developed beaches with Koh Jum's quieter, largely undeveloped shoreline. The crossing takes around the scheduled journey time, run by Andaman Wave Master and Bundhaya Speed Boat using speed boat.
When this route operates
This route runs seasonally, operating from January to April and October to December only. Outside these months, sea conditions on this part of the Andaman Sea make direct boat crossings unreliable, so no sailings are scheduled and the booking engine will show no available departures. If you're searching for tickets outside January to April and October to December, check ferry and speedboat connections routed via Krabi, or ask your accommodation on Koh Lanta about arranging a private longtail transfer, which some boat operators still offer on request off-season. Once the season opens, it's worth booking early, as the first departures tend to fill quickly.
Schedule and departure points
During the active season, 3 run on this route, departing from the pier on Koh Lanta and arriving directly at Koh Jum, with no transfer required. Exact departure times vary by day, weather, and operator, so always check the live schedule shown on this page before booking, since timings can shift with tides and conditions at sea.
Prices and what's included
Fares start from ฿750 per person for a one-way ticket. The final price depends on the operator, seat class, and how far in advance you book, so it's worth comparing the options shown above before confirming your journey. Boats on this route typically include onboard facilities, keeping the short crossing comfortable even in the middle of the day.

Travelling the other way
Planning the return leg? You can book the reverse crossing on our Koh Jum to Koh Lanta ferry page, which covers the same operators, schedule pattern, and pricing in the opposite direction.
Choosing between the two islands
Koh Jum sits between Koh Lanta and Koh Phi Phi, and suits travellers looking for a slower pace, with limited nightlife and few large resorts. Most visitors base themselves near Ao Si beach or Ko Pu, both a short walk or taxi ride from the pier. Koh Lanta, by contrast, offers a wider choice of accommodation, restaurants, and onward transport, including further ferry routes to Koh Phi Phi and Phuket, making it a practical base if you're combining several islands in one 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.

Bali Ferry :
Yes, you can. The change is required 7 days' notice prior to departure date. There is a small fee of USD $10 applied per time. Please click the chat button to speak with one of our customer service agents who will take you through the simple booking change process.
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.
If you do happen to miss your ferry and wish to travel as soon as possible, contact us right away, and we’ll advise you on the best available options.
