Ko Racha Yai(Imperial Island)

"Racha" means "Emperor" in the local language. Ko Racha Yai was once the exclusive resort island of the Thai royal family. It boasts vast and expansive seascapes, majestic and rugged mountains, and beautiful, tranquil inland lakes, all retaining their original charm and exceptional beauty.

Here, there's no hustle and bustle of Phuket, no crowds of Bangkok. Just bring a relaxed mind and a joyful spirit to quietly experience everything this sea has to offer. Ko Racha Yai is a great place for snorkeling; the water temperature is suitable, the waves are relatively small, and the beaches are long. The types of fish you can see vary depending on where you snorkel on the island. After snorkeling, explore the tropical island scenery before returning to Phuket to rest in the evening. If you want to go diving, avoid the rainy season to see the more beautiful underwater world. Kon Kare Bay is particularly suitable for snorkeling, and the scenery is best at midday when the sun is shining. The resorts on  Ko Racha Yai are a must-see. The famous The Racha Resort is on the west side, Rayaburi on the north, and Ban Raya on the east. Baan Raya's location on the east makes it very convenient for watching the sunrise, and it also boasts some of the island's best snorkeling spots.
