How to get from Phuket to Koh Jum
Phuket to Koh Jum Ferry
Travelling from Phuket to Koh Jum connects one of Thailand's busiest travel hubs with a quiet, laid-back island between Koh Lanta and Koh Phi Phi. The crossing takes around the scheduled journey time, making Koh Jum an easy addition to a Phuket itinerary for travellers who want fewer crowds and a slower pace.
Seasonal Availability
This route is seasonal and only operates January to April and November to December. Ferry operators suspend the service outside this window because sea conditions in the Andaman Sea become unsuitable for passenger boats during the monsoon months. If you are searching for a crossing outside January to April and November to December, the direct ferry will not be running. In that case, consider travelling via Koh Lanta or Koh Phi Phi and connecting onward by longboat, or plan your trip for when the route reopens. Always check current availability before booking, since exact seasonal dates can shift slightly from year to year.
Transport Options and Operators
During the operating season, the route is served by Bundhaya Speed Boat using a speed boat. This is currently the main option for travelling directly between Phuket and Koh Jum by sea; there is no road bridge connecting the two, so ferry travel is the practical way to make this journey without backtracking through the mainland.
Onboard facilities typically include onboard facilities, which make the crossing comfortable even during the warmer months. Passengers should still bring water, sun protection, and motion sickness remedies if prone to seasickness, as open-water conditions can vary.
Schedule and Frequency
There are 1 scheduled during the operating season, though exact departure and arrival times vary by day and by operator. We recommend checking the live schedule at the top of this page when booking, since times are confirmed closer to travel and can be adjusted for weather or tides.
Prices and Booking
Tickets for this route start from ฿1,800 per person. Prices can vary depending on the operator, the day of travel, and how far in advance you book, so use the live search above to compare current fares and departure times side by side.
Booking ahead is recommended during peak months such as December and January, when demand from travellers heading to the islands is highest and popular departures can sell out.
Arrival on Koh Jum
Koh Jum has a smaller pier setup than neighbouring islands, and some boats may require a short transfer by longtail boat to reach the shore, depending on tides. This is normal for the island and is factored into the standard journey time. Once you land, most resorts and guesthouses are within walking distance or a short songthaew ride from the pier.
Planning the Return Trip
If you are also arranging your journey back, you can book the Koh Jum to Phuket ferry for the return leg. Travellers island-hopping further south may also want to look at the Koh Jum to Koh Lanta ferry or the Phuket to Koh Phi Phi ferry to combine multiple stops in one trip.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to print my ferry ticket or is mobile ok?
You don't need to print your ticket. Your boarding voucher is in your account: open Bookings, then View trip details, and click Download PDF. On the day of travel, show the QR code on it — on your phone is fine — to the ferry operator staff at the pier named on your ticket, and they will direct you to your boat.
If you'd prefer paper, print the PDF yourself.
What happens if my ferry is cancelled due to weather?
We are sorry when weather stops a sailing. Ferries usually run in rain; speedboats are more often stopped by rough seas.
If your trip is cancelled because of weather, your booking in Bookings shows a message once our team has confirmed the cancellation. You can then either move to the next available service with Change this booking, or cancel with Cancel & refund for a full refund.
If the sailing is running but you choose not to travel, the normal cancellation policy applies.
Why is my account locked?
We lock an account for a short time after several failed sign-in attempts in a row. It is an automatic safety measure: it stops someone else guessing your password, and it happens whether or not the person typing was you.
You do not need to contact us. The lock lifts on its own — see How long am I locked out for?
What is the difference between a locked and a blocked account?
Locked is automatic and temporary. It happens after repeated failed sign-in attempts and it lifts by itself — within a minute in most cases.
Blocked is a decision made by our team, and it does not lift on its own. If your account is blocked you will need to contact us; waiting will not change it, and neither will resetting your password.
If you are not sure which applies to you, get in touch and we will tell you.
How do I unlock my account now?
Wait, and try again. Every lock lifts on its own — a minute the first time, and never more than an hour however many attempts have failed. There is nothing to click and nobody to contact.
If you have forgotten your password, do not keep guessing: each wrong attempt makes the next wait longer. Use Forgot password instead. Resetting your password gets you straight back in.
My account locked but I never tried to sign in
Then someone else was trying to sign in as you, and the lock did its job — it stopped them.
Your account is safe: a lock means the attempts failed. Nobody got in. You do not have to do anything, and the lock will lift on its own.
We would still recommend two things:
- Change your password, especially if you use the same one on another website.
- Add an authenticator app in your account security settings, so a password alone is never enough to sign in as you.
If you get these repeatedly, contact us and we will look into it.
