Rawai

Rawai is a place where time seems to slow down, inviting you to experience the true spirit of Phuket. Unlike touristy areas such as Patong or Karon, Rawai is a secluded and quiet place. Ravai Beach is not for swimming, but is ideal for walking, meeting fishermen and admiring the views of the Andaman Sea. From here you can take a boat trip to the nearby islands of Coral, Bon and many others.

Cultures and traditions are intertwined with the comforts of the modern world, with dozens of restaurants scattered along the coastline offering fresh seafood and the famous Rawai Seafood Market, where fishermen offer freshly caught fish and seafood from their boats. Quiet, secluded and authentic is what makes Rawai special.
