Joy Bungalow
Established in 1987, Joy Bungalow was the first resort on Koh Jum, Thailand, where it has remained a beloved retreat for backpackers and the most well-known resort on the island ever since.
Joy Bungalow is one of Thailand’s true traveler meeting points. People from all over the world have found their sanctuary at Koh Jum, Thailand, especially at Joy Bungalow — a small, unspoiled tropical hideaway. The unique ambiance here fosters quiet reflection and a genuine sense of inner peace, enhanced by the use of oil lamps after 10 PM.
At JOY, we are dedicated to preserving the essence of nature. Our resort is more than just a business—it’s our commitment to offering you
