Also known as Ko Pu, this small island is situated between Krabi and Koh Lanta and is the perfect place to stay for those who want extreme relaxation.
Although there is plenty of accommodation here and some good restaurants, visitors to Ko Jam will not be disturbed by the loud music and neon lights that plague so many of Thailand’s islands and beaches. Just stretch out on the pure white sand and listen to the wind in the palm trees.
Ko Jam is surrounded by a beautiful coral reef, and this is a good place for diving and snorkeling. Walk along the beach at sunset and enjoy the deserted island feel of this completely natural island.
Getting There & Away
The nearest airport to Ko Jam is at Krabi, which is a 1-hour, 20-minute flight from Bangkok. Take a taxi from the airport to Klong Chi Lard Pier (20 minutes), from where you can take a ferry across to Koh Lanta (1 hour).
