Koh Jum

This guide to Koh Jum in Krabi walks its three fishing villages, a single road, and an island that had no electricity after dark until 2009. It traces how batik stayed a living household craft here, women dyeing and weaving cloth by hand while islands to the south filled with beach bars, and stops at the stilt houses of Koh Pu village where boats still have to time the tide to land. Listen for the mosque watching from the hilltop above the pier.
