Piman Pu is on an island, Koh Jum (Koh Pu). We will arrange for you to be collected from Laem Kruat Pier.

Groceries

We suggest you stock up with groceries at either Tesco Lotus (big western style supermarket), or the big local market at Nua Klong. The range is better and prices are lower than on the island.

Other essentials

We suggest you bring beach towels, swimmers, shorts, t-shirts, a pair of light long pants or skirt for night time, mozzie spray, sun block, and goggles.

A private boat crossing costs bht1,500 each way.

A taxi to Laem Kruat pier – from Krabi airport it is about 35 minutes – costs bht600-800 depending how long you stop for groceries.

You can bring beach towels, but it is not essential.

The villa has 3 king size double bedrooms – 2 in the roof and the other on the ground floor.

So, the villa comfortably sleeps 3 couples = 6 persons.

As an ecofriendly villa, the villa does not have air conditioning. The property is built for air flows and is equipped with fans.

The villa has direct access to near private Luboh Beach.

It has great views to Koh Lanta. Between the villa and the beach is a gorgeous tropical garden with a private pool.

The beach is sandy but with some coral exposed at low tide. The beach is quite tidal, so at low tide it is not a swimming beach, but at high tide it is like a huge lagoon, with excellent swimming and lovely views.

The pool is available for swimming at all times.

We can arrange for island hopping day trips – Koh Phi Phi and Bamboo Island National Park are great day trips.
You can hike scooters on the beach to drive around.

We have a reverse osmosis water filter, so the drinking water is safe – you don’t need to bring drinking water with you – but, you should always drink lots of water in the tropics.

Not exactly, but there are chill out places along the beach.

The villa comes with meal preparation services.

Your laundry can be done for you.

The house has basic maid services with sheets changed every 3 days.

Yes – but there is no fence around the pool and the house is not really geared up for babies.

The rates are very competitive.

In low season for longer stays we are open to reasonable offers on line with the quoted rates.

Currently the villa has no wi-fi.

If you need to send e-mails, Luboh Hut – about 100 metres down the beach has wi-fi service.

There is another place Sabai Dee bar which also has wi-fi for a small charge.

Tue online have said they will provide cover soon. When it comes, the villa will have wi-fi.

There is a good basic clinic at Koh Jum – about 3 ks from the villa.

For serious health issues, there’s a good private clinic in Krabi.

For for serious health issues the best hospitals are in Bangkok, KL and Singapore.

We advise you to please stock up on groceries before you make the crossing.

Although thee are shops at the three villages on the island, the supply is limited and the prices higher than the mainland.

Aside from this, there is usually fresh fish and fruit available on the island – better to buy in the morning.

We can arrange for food to be purchased for you for your meals or to be taken to the island’s shops.

Alcohol is not readily available in the grocery shops, but may be obtained from local resort businesses.

The majority of the locals are muslim, but Thai muslims are not fundamentalists. The minority of the locals are buddhist.

If you prefer to cook your own meals, the villa has a small kitchen with stove and fridge.

Otherwise Thai meals can be prepared for you – the villa’s main kitchen and dining area is downstairs.

Please advise us before your arrival if you wish to cook your own meals, and we will ensure the propane cylinder for the inside kitchen is full.

In shoulder and high season there are a number of bungalow resorts which serve meals on the beach (Bonhomie and Luboh Hut are closest).

Further afield there is a bakery at Ting Rai bay serving German style coffee, bread and cakes. They will also deliver (Rashid – 0892087179).

At the other end of the island there are also restaurants, including Koh Jum seafood at Koh Jum pier.

We generally only accept minimum 3 night bookings.

This is because the villa is on an island and it takes a boat crossing to get there. In our experience it is not suitable for shorter stays.

If you only have limited time and would like to stay only 2 nights, please contact us to discuss logistics.

There are some adaptors, but bring your own chargers.
