How to get from Koh Yao Noi to Koh Jum
Ferries from Koh Yao Noi to Koh Jum
The crossing between Koh Yao Noi and Koh Jum links two of the quieter islands in the Andaman Sea, both known for slow-paced beaches rather than nightlife or big resorts. The route is operated by Bundhaya Speed Boat using a speed boat, and it is a seasonal service rather than a year-round one, so it's worth checking the dates below before you plan the rest of your trip around it.
When this route operates
Direct boats between Koh Yao Noi and Koh Jum run January to May and November to December. Outside these months the direct crossing is not scheduled, and the booking engine on this route will show no available departures. If you're searching outside the operating season, the practical options are to travel via Krabi town, which keeps year-round connections to both island groups, or to check back once the route reopens for the next season. Building a short buffer day into your itinerary around Krabi is the safest way to bridge the two islands when this direct service isn't running.
Duration, departures and price
The crossing takes around the scheduled journey time, with 2 during the operating season. Exact departure times can shift with sea conditions and demand, so always check the live schedule at the time of booking rather than relying on a fixed timetable. Fares start from ฿1,200 per person one-way; final pricing depends on the date, operator, and how far in advance you book. Booking ahead is a sensible habit during the busier weeks of the season, since seats on smaller boats sell out, though availability is only ever confirmed at the moment your ticket is issued rather than guaranteed in advance.
Departure point, arrival point and what's on board
Boats leave from the pier on Koh Yao Noi and dock at the pier on Koh Jum, with facilities on board including onboard facilities. Luggage space on this route is limited compared with the larger car ferries used elsewhere in the Andaman, so pack light and keep valuables with you rather than in the hold. Staff at both piers can point you toward onward transport once you land, including songthaews and taxi boats to the main beaches.
Nearby islands and onward connections
Koh Yao Noi sits in Phang Nga Bay between Phuket and Krabi, within sight of its larger neighbour Koh Yao Yai, which is reachable by a short local longtail crossing. Koh Jum lies further south along the same coastline, between Krabi town and Koh Lanta, and is a common stopover for travellers continuing on to Koh Phi Phi or looping back toward Krabi's mainland piers. If your dates fall outside this route's operating window, or if you're building a wider island-hopping itinerary, routing through Krabi or Koh Lanta is the most reliable way to link these destinations with the rest of the Andaman coast.

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.
To arrange your refund or new travel date, please click the refund button in your personal Liva account.
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.

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.
