Ko Raya (racha Yai)

Featured Replies

I'm planning a trip to Phuket 1st week of May, looking for peace & quiet & good snorkeling so was thinking of Koh Raya...anyone been there recently who can advise on accomdation and current coral conditions? I will be traveling with an Asian friend so a beach without too many nud_e/semi-nud_e farangs would be preferable. Also, I understand there is a 9 AM boat to the island but will not be able to arrive in Phuket before noon and prefer not to stay overnight on the mainland, do any of the resorts on Koh Raya have their own speedboat? Or any other way to get there in early afternoon? Thanks

Sheryl,

Sheryl stay at the back bay in either Jungle Bungalows or something View Bunglaows. - 6-700 baht a night. On the same beach there is a small Reggae bar and the owner Max will help with any further questions you have. Raya is brilliant for snorkelling. Tell Max I said Hi !!!!!

Go to Ao Chalong in Phuket and walk right to the end of the road on the left. In front of The Lighthouse Bar there are speed boats galore. Ask one of the Thai guys.

The Racha - a very expensive resort on the island has private speed boats for guests.
