Ko Jam is on the western coast of Thailand, between Krabi and Ko Lanta. The best way to get there is by the boat that travels between Krabi and Ko Lanta. The boat stops in front of Ko Jam and the long tail boats of the cottage villages pick up the travellers.
The charm of Ko Jam is besides the beautiful landscapes the fact that there is no disturbing tourist business. No souvenir shops, discos or peddlers and only a handful of tourists. The atmosphere is very homely and intimate. There is only the sea, sandy beach, sun and good food. Therefore it is a perfect place to relax a few days or longer, read books, enjoy the sunshine and taste the delicate sea-food.

We took a longtail boat to Ko Jam

Only footprints...
In our cottage the circumstances were quite primitive, the electricity was in use from six in the evening to midnight and no hot water (but the water wasn’t too cold either) in the bathroom. The cottage was simple, but cosy. There were lots of “ventilation holes”. Between the floor planks you could see the earth and through the ceiling the birds could enter. Fortunately there were mosquito nets.

Friendly and helpful bungalow staff cook delicious food as well!
The beaches are untouched and getting from one beach to another is possible only by a long tail boat or along the hot jungle road.

Beautiful orchids
The sea around Ko Jam is excellent for swimming and canoeing during high tide,
for snorkelling it is only mediocre. The tide differences are quite big. There is no diving shop on the island.

(Almost) deserted beach

Relaxing with nothing to do but read a book- great!

A good place to spend even a week
