Racha Yai Island

Diving in Thailand Emperor Island is definitely a place worth visiting! Emperor Island is a beautiful little island full of memories for me Emperor Island is located to the south of Phuket, about 15 kilometers away, and it takes about 40 minutes by speedboat. For those who don't like to take a boat, take a look here! The island not only has beautiful and complete natural tropical island scenery, but the coastal scenery of the coral reefs is also unforgettable Emperor Island is a paradise for diving enthusiasts So here I have to mention scuba diving and snorkeling! The water quality of Emperor Island is very clean, clear, and moreover! You don't need a diving certificate to experience scuba diving on Emperor Island! When the weather is good, you can see many beautiful fish, as well as a variety of marine life such as sea cucumbers, sea urchins, starfish, lionfish, etc. If you want to dive, please bring an extra set of clothes and a towel, to facilitate changing; I booked a one-day scuba diving tour on Emperor Coral Island Different from boat diving, this type is from the shore to the deep water area, it won't be like boat diving that reaches the deep water area all at once, It's really very friendly for beginners without a diving certificate and our diving spot is the beach of a private hotel, not the place where you dive off the pier, I feel that place is so crowded , we need to take the island's unique Ferrari tractor haha to the other side of the island to dive, The environment is very good, I booked it for 500 all-inclusive! The price I think is also very fair including the video and photos of the diving, You should know that booking a separate scuba diving on the island costs 2000 Thai baht 400 RMB, it feels great, still a one-day tour itinerary. If you don't go scuba diving, you can choose snorkeling, during snorkeling, be sure to pay attention to safe operation, do not stray too far from the safety officer; please be careful to stay away from the propeller, pay attention to the tire spiral, ropes, pull rods, etc. when getting on and off the boat to avoid scratches; ! If you can't swim, please stay by the boat and let the crew accompany you when snorkeling;

Emperor Island is located to the south of Phuket, about 12 kilometers away, and it takes approximately 30-40 minutes by speedboat. The island is free from noise and crowding, preserving its natural scenery, and boasts sea views that rival those of the Maldives. The main recreational activity on the island is snorkeling, with reefs and corals scattered all around and a variety of fish species. The water is very clear, displaying a translucent gem blue, and the seabed 5 meters deep can be seen with the naked eye. Coral Island, known in English as Coral Island, is about 3 kilometers long from east to west, but only about 800 meters wide from south to north. The island is surrounded by colorful coral reefs, offering beautiful scenery, and is one of the best spots for snorkeling, surfing, and sailing among the water activities available in the Phuket area.

Emperor Island is located to the south of Phuket Island, about 12 kilometers away, and it takes approximately 30-40 minutes by speedboat. Compared to other popular or less popular attractions in Phuket, Emperor Island is a very new face. Not only does the island boast beautiful and intact natural tropical island scenery, but the coastal views of the coral reefs are also unforgettable. Due to its later development, there are fewer tourists here, making the beach environment particularly serene compared to the bustling Phuket Island. With only a few swimmers, surf enthusiasts nearby, and the sound of waves hitting the shore in your ears, it's truly a paradise!

After comparing Phi Phi Island and Emperor Island, I ultimately chose Emperor Island, mainly because it's closer to Phuket—just a 12-kilometer journey by speedboat takes about 30 minutes, and the cost-performance ratio here is higher. The island is not large and seems to have been developed in recent years; it doesn't have many residents, so it's very quiet. It is said that this was once an exclusive holiday island for the Thai royal family, with a superior surrounding environment, featuring pristine crescent-shaped beaches and clear jelly-like seas, and the scenery is no less stunning than that of Phi Phi Island. The island is primarily home to resort hotels. When I visited, there weren't many tourists, so the island was relatively peaceful. Due to its distance from the mainland, the water here is crystal clear, and diving into the sea reveals well-preserved coral reefs and a variety of tropical fish. Sailing out to sea on Discover Catamaran's private yacht, diving, and paddling made each day fulfilling. There are day trips to Emperor Island from Phuket, which take about 40 minutes and are quite suitable for the elderly and children. However, I personally recommend staying on Emperor Island for a night, mainly because a day trip is too rushed and tiring. The resort hotels on the island are very nice and worth experiencing.

Going to Phuket now is the peak season, the cost is actually quite high, and the hotel is the main expense. Many good hotels are already booked, especially family-friendly ones. However, apart from the hotel, if you don't consider shopping, it's not too bad, it depends on how you play. Since you choose to travel during the peak season, you need to have a good mindset, at least the scenery you encounter is far ahead. Although it's cheaper during the summer vacation, there are always big waves and heavy rain, and it rains for a few days after playing for a few days.... , Offshore islands, if time is not enough, it is recommended to go to Similan, don't go too many. If you have enough time, it doesn't matter, go wherever you want, but it's not recommended to go to an island a day, it's very tiring X travel a holiday, not military training! (Or a day trip for a day, and then go to another island to stay) 1 Similan: The sea is really beautiful, no filter is needed, it's full of dreams, the disadvantage is that you have to get up early. Similan can't accommodate people, although there are boat stays, but people with poor sleep will be uncomfortable, those who like deep diving and have certificates can consider boat stays. 2 Phi Phi Island: A day trip is also possible, you can also stay on the island, there are many hotel choices, if you choose to stay on the island, you can go to the viewpoint to watch the scenery and take pictures, you can also charter a long tail boat near the pier to Maya Bay, Little Phi Phi Island, Bamboo Island, etc. 3 Emperor Island: It's not as lively as Phi Phi Island, but it's very original and quiet. The sea of Emperor Island is blue jelly, the sea of Phi Phi Island is gradient, and the part of Little Phi Phi Island is green, like jade. For the Phuket itinerary, I suggest you arrange it like this: 1 Patong Beach: Bar Street, Jiangxi Cold, Show Field, etc. are not far away, one day is enough, you can also experience Thai massage in Patong. Go to Banzaan to buy seafood and fruits, be sure to bargain. Jiangxi Cold shopping and dining can be solved, a lot of things are cabbage price, if the consumption exceeds 2K, remember to fill in the tax refund form 2 Karon Kata: Karon coastline is long, Kata has small hills. If you have plenty of time, you can stay for two or three days, blow the sea breeze, soak in the sea by the beach, drink some wine and play with the sand, watch the sunset, and lie flat in the hotel. Karon Viewpoint is average, it is recommended to go to Laem Sai Cliff Cafe 3 Phuket Town: The old street has a strong Nanyang style, the houses along the street are all colorful, and there are some exquisite small shops, coffee shops, all with unique styles, stroll, eat and take pictures in Phuket Town, it's very chic. If you go on Sunday, just stroll around the weekend night market There are also many ways to play in other areas, arranging the itinerary by region saves taxi fares, everyone knows that taxis in Phuket are expensive. I use Grab for taxi, purely because I don't want to waste time, compared to Bolt and Indrive, it's only about 30% more expensive (the whole journey probably won't cost more than 600). You can also take a double bar car/smart bus, which is more economical, equivalent to a bus. Cong 'Zong' Hao 'Phuket Alliance' They are all friends who have recently traveled to Phuket. We have a long time in Phuket and will find partners here~ There are hundreds of people here discussing strategies, avoiding pits together, and there are restaurant sharing documents, hotel selection guides, everyone is very enthusiastic and can chat!

About tourist attractions 🌊Karon Kata Beach coastal road This coastal road is so beautiful! It is recommended to rent a small car and feel it all the way, or you can walk a few km, especially during the sunset, it won't be very hot, and there are beautiful shops along the way 🌊Check in at the cliff cafe, drink coffee and stare at the sea all day long. The cliff cafe is very photogenic, the scenery is beautiful, but the location is a bit off, and the round-trip taxi fare is high. There are quite a few people inside, and you may not be able to find a good spot. You can choose a hotel with a better view, many hotels have scenery that is even better than the cliff cafe~ 🌊Patong Beach has a great atmosphere with its sunsets and bar streets! 🌊Karon Beach, about a half-hour drive from Patong. If you like quietness and want to enjoy a leisurely vacation, go to Karon Beach or Kata Beach, where there are much fewer tourists, and you can go experience some exciting surfing. 🌊If you have plenty of time, you can arrange an island-hopping tour, buy a one-day group. Going to Phi Phi Island, Coral Island, Emperor Island, etc. are all good, the sea view is very beautiful, and the water is super blue and clear.
