Travel from Ao Nang to Koh Jum
Koh Jum to Ao Nang Ferry
Travelling from Koh Jum to Ao Nang connects one of the Andaman coast's quieter islands to the lively beach hub of Ao Nang, gateway to Krabi's limestone cliffs and island tours. This route is popular with travellers heading onward to Railay Beach, Krabi Town, or Koh Lanta, since Ao Nang pier links onward to longtail and speedboat services covering all of these destinations.
Route Overview and Journey Time
The crossing between Koh Jum and Ao Nang takes around the scheduled journey time, operated by Andaman Wave Master and Bundhaya Speed Boat using speed boat. Onboard facilities typically include onboard facilities, making the trip a comfortable way to skip the longer road-and-ferry combination via Krabi Town. There are 3 scheduled each operating day, and fares start from ฿860 per person — always confirm the exact departure time and price shown on the booking page, as these can vary by operator and season.
Seasonal Availability
This route does not run year-round. Boats between Koh Jum and Ao Nang operate during January to May and October to December, in line with Andaman sea conditions. Outside these months the direct ferry service is suspended, and travellers searching for dates outside this window will not find sailings listed. If you need to travel off-season, the alternative is to combine a longtail boat from Koh Jum to Krabi Town with road transport onward to Ao Nang, or to check the Koh Lanta connections, which sometimes maintain a longer operating calendar. Booking within the active season is the most reliable way to secure a direct crossing.
Departure and Arrival Points
Boats depart from Koh Jum's main pier, with easy access from the island's resorts and guesthouses, and arrive at Ao Nang pier, close to the town's hotels, restaurants, and tour operators. From Ao Nang, connections are readily available to Railay Beach by longtail boat, to Krabi Town by road, and to Koh Lanta by ferry, making it a practical stop for travellers piecing together a wider Andaman itinerary.
Booking Your Crossing
Seats on this route can fill quickly during peak months, particularly around holidays, so booking ahead is recommended. Check current availability and reserve your place on the Koh Jum to Ao Nang ferry to lock in your travel dates before the boat departs. If you're planning the return leg, see the Ao Nang to Koh Jum ferry schedule for sailings back to the island.
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.

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.

Yes, you can. The change is required 7 days' notice prior to departure date. There is a small fee of USD $10 applied per time. Please click the chat button to speak with one of our customer service agents who will take you through the simple booking change process.
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.
If you do happen to miss your ferry and wish to travel as soon as possible, contact us right away, and we’ll advise you on the best available options.
