| Translating
to "Remember Island", time spent here is certainly not
forgotten quickly. Koh Jum still remains without regular electricity
and the use of candles and oil lamps enhances the relaxed atmosphere
of the island. The pace of life on Ko Jum has two distinct speeds
- slow and stop!
You
won't find any luxury resorts or air-con rooms in this corner of
Krabi. Wooden bungalows lining the beach and sitting among the palms
are your home while you stay on the island.
There
are only a handful of places to stay and all the local people are
quite possibly the friendliest in the country. They are not out
to make a fortune from a tourist invasion and just live life in
their own unique style. Just go with it!
The
pace of life on Ko Jum has two distinct speeds - slow and stop!
Whether
it is fate, creative planning or just pure good fortune, the big
money men have overlooked Koh Jum and just kind of drive by. Mention
this to the locals and their collective response is....GOOD! |
