A New Entrance, A New Sign, Same Old Joy

Fresh paint, new beginning, same Joy Bungalow — where the road ends, the Andaman begins, and island time takes over.

August 2026.
Another little chapter in the story of Joy.

Come on in.
You’re very welcome.

Nope… it’s not a framed photo.

It’s the sunset view through the window, right from the bed of our VIP Beachfront Bungalow.

Some views are simply too beautiful to put behind a frame.

At Joy Bungalow, the Andaman Sea is part of your room — waiting for you every evening.

Wake up to the sea. Fall asleep to the sound of the waves.

As close to nature as you can get.

Wake up surrounded by tropical greenery.
Step onto your cozy terrace, stretch out on a lounger, and let the island breeze do the rest.

And just 20 metres away, the Andaman Sea is waiting — gently rolling beneath a sunny island sky. ☀️

No fences between you and nature.
No need to dress it up.

Just nature, in the most natural way.

This is island living at Joy Bungalow, Koh Jum. ❤️

You can’t wake up any closer to the Andaman than this…

Wake up slowly.
Open the doors.
Step barefoot onto your terrace…

And there it is — the Andaman Sea, stretching endlessly before you. 💙

No schedules. No rush.
Just the sound of the waves, the sea breeze, and the simple pleasure of being somewhere wonderfully far away.

A little rustic. A little romantic.
And completely Koh Jum. ❤️

Joy Bungalow — where island life begins right outside your door.

Welcome home, Kelly and family

Some guests become friends. Some friends become family.

There are moments that remind us why Joy Bungalow has been more than just a place to stay since 1987.

This week, we were delighted to welcome Kelly Allen back to Joy Bungalow for her third visit.

Many years ago, Kelly first came to Joy on her honeymoon. She returned again in 2023, and now she’s back once more—this time with her two wonderful children and her brother, creating a new chapter of memories together.

Life takes us on many different journeys, and it means so much to us when guests choose to return to Joy through the different chapters of their lives.

Watching families return over the years is one of the greatest gifts we could ever receive. It’s a reminder that a holiday is about more than beautiful beaches and breathtaking sunsets—it’s about the memories we create, the friendships we build, and the places that continue to feel like home.

The smiles shared in this photo between Kelly’s family and the Joy team say more than words ever could. We are truly grateful that Joy Bungalow has become a place worth returning to.

Thank you, Kelly, for your friendship, your trust, and for allowing us to be a small part of your family’s story. We hope these days on Koh Jum bring laughter, peace, and beautiful new memories that will be treasured for years to come.

From all of us at Joy Bungalow… welcome home.

Joy Bungalow – welcoming guests as friends, and welcoming friends back as family.

One fine day during rainy season in Koh Jum.

21/07/2026

A beautiful day at Joy Bungalow.

Even during the rainy season, there are many days when you might forget you’re supposed to be in the “rainy season” at all.

Blue skies, calm seas, golden sunsets—and the peaceful island atmosphere that makes Koh Jum so special.

And when the rain does arrive, it often passes as quickly as it came, leaving the island fresh, green, and even more beautiful.

The rainy season is one of the best times to slow down, escape the crowds, and enjoy Koh Jum at its most peaceful.

Come and discover the quieter, greener, more authentic side of island life at Joy Bungalow.

The Original, Still the Best!
