How to get from Krabi to Koh Jum
Krabi to Koh Jum Ferry
The Krabi to Koh Jum ferry links the mainland port town of Krabi with the quiet, jungle-covered island of Koh Jum (also spelled Ko Pu), one of the less-visited stops on the Krabi to Koh Lanta corridor. Boats connect Krabi and Koh Jum directly, making Koh Jum an easy add-on for travellers heading further south toward Koh Lanta or coming from Koh Phi Phi.
This route is seasonal and only operates selected months of the year. Outside these months, boat operators suspend the direct Krabi–Koh Jum service because sea conditions in the low season make the crossing unreliable. If you are travelling outside selected months of the year, check the Krabi to Koh Lanta ferry schedule instead, since long-tail boats and taxi-boat transfers from Koh Lanta or Krabi to Koh Jum can sometimes be arranged privately when the scheduled service is not running.
Transport options and operators
Travellers can reach Koh Jum by ferry, speedboat, long-tail boat, or minivan-and-boat combination tickets, depending on the operator and season. Scheduled services are run by Andaman Wave Master, alongside other operators covering the wider Krabi–Koh Lanta–Koh Phi Phi corridor. Boats typically use a speed boat, and on-board facilities generally include onboard facilities, though this can vary by operator and vessel.
Departure points, journey time and price
Ferries depart from Krabi's Klong Jilad Pier (also known as Krabi Passenger Port, near Krabi Town), with some seasonal services also boarding from Nopparat Thara Pier. On Koh Jum, boats dock at the pier serving Ban Ko Pu and the Ting Rai Pae area on the island's east coast, close to most guesthouses and resorts. The crossing takes around the scheduled journey time, and 1 are available during the operating season, so it's worth checking the live timetable before planning your day. Fares start from ฿900 per person one way, with prices varying by operator, boat type and how far in advance you book.
Nearby islands on the same corridor
Koh Jum sits between Krabi and Koh Lanta, so many boats on this route continue on to or originate from further stops along the same corridor. If Koh Jum doesn't have a sailing that suits your dates, the Krabi to Koh Lanta ferry and Krabi to Koh Phi Phi ferry run more frequently and can be combined with a local long-tail transfer to reach Koh Jum. Travellers based on Koh Lanta can also look at boat and speedboat connections between the two islands directly.
Booking your ferry
Because sailings are limited to selected months of the year and capacity can sell out on smaller boats, it's best to book your Krabi to Koh Jum ferry ticket in advance, especially around weekends and Thai holidays. Check the timetable above for the next available departure, confirm your pier and boarding time with your ticket, and arrive at least 30 minutes early to allow for check-in. If you're planning the return leg, the Koh Jum to Krabi ferry page has the reverse schedule and pricing.
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.

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.
