Rawai Beach

   The first beach that brought fame to Phuket Island. The
coconut-fringed route from Chalong Intersection to Rawai is
one of the most beautiful roads in Phuket. The beach is not
particulary good for swimming but longtail boats leave from
here to offshore islands.


Is a favored picnic spot for Thais who flock to the seafood stalls sitting under the trees that shade this
narrow but picturesque bay. The beach is not so great but the water is shallow and safe for children
and it is protected from the wind. There are many longtail boats and speed boats anchored here that
you can hire to make trips to the nearby islands. Try to find one with life jackets because when the
wind picks up the seas can become quite rough.
   Many foreigners live in this area because of its tranquility, therefore you will find many types of
cuisine mainly located all along the beach road, and even some popular trendy restaurant like "Mimi's"
a bit inland. Lately a beautiful resort opened on the hill overlook Rawai Bay: the Mangosteen Resort
with nice and cozy individual bungalows.
Not far is the famous Promphthep
