Racha Island is one of the most peaceful islands in Phuket, only 12 miles south of Phuket (just 35 minutes by speed boat from Phuket’s Chalong Bay). The Island is known for its natural beauty and is since long known for its crystal clear turquoise water, rich and colourful coral reefs teeming with marine life and pristine powdery white sand beaches. Currents are also mild make it a major attraction for snorkeling and the world’s class diving site. Despite its popularity, it is always possible to find a secluded spot and bask in the feeling of being miles away from everything – which you really are. Activities on the island include snorkelling, diving, nature hikes, fishing trips and horse-back riding. Or simply come with a mellow attitude, a good book and relax.
