krabi weather… and visiting koh jum

Hello krabi people!

What's the weather like this month so far? What is the typical kind of weather at the start of august? I come down from chiang mai for a holiday on koh jum at the end of july for a couple of weeks. I first went there about six years ago and loved the place, but it was in january.

If anybody has any tips on the actual getting to koh jum from the airport, that'd be grand. Last time we were picked up by the hotel, but this time i'm just turning up. I don't want to go to lanta or phi phi or krabi beaches, just straight out of the airport and to the port where local boats leave for koh jum. I seem to recall a journey of about half an hour in a van to get there.

If anybody would also like to recommend a nice cheap, but clean, bungalow resort for me to put my head down in, that'd also be grand!

cheers
