Only 23 kilometres from Phuket is Racha Island with its beautiful scenery, natural surroundings, crystal clear waters and empty beaches. Go swimming, snorkelling, scuba diving, or just lie in the sun and enjoy the peace.

Enjoy nature walks through coconut plantations, and see water buffaloes in their natural surroundings. See how the local people are still living as they did a hundred years ago, growing mangoes, jackfruit, tamarind, cashew nuts and going out to the sea for fishing. The local people are shy, but very friendly and helpful. They don't mind being photographed, in fact they consider it to be an honour that you care about them.
