Racha Yai Island(Imperial Island)

The Jelly Sea is worthy of its reputation and is worth a visit! It happened that the overall environment was not good, and the number of Chinese tourists was reduced by half! The boat that usually can accommodate nearly 50 people had less than 30 people this time! But the experience was much better!

[Scenery] The sea of ​​Emperor Island is really invincible. The sea water is clear, the environment is beautiful, and most importantly, there are really few people! You can live a real vacation here, lying on the beach every day to bask in the sun, listening to the waves hitting the sea surface, there is no more comfortable life than this. [Fun] The underwater world of Emperor Island is very rich, and the coral reefs are well protected. You can see a lot of fish and colorful giant clams just by snorkeling. [Value for money] The boat trip from Phuket to Emperor Island is about 30-40 minutes, which is acceptable. The three hotels on the island are not expensive in the off-season, and the prices in the peak season are also reasonable. It is a very cost-effective resort.

During the summer vacation, my family went to Phuket and took a speedboat to Koh Racha and Phi Phi Island to participate in diving, snorkeling and other activities. The island is very pristine, the water is clear, there are many corals, small fish, and there are also famous check-in scenes. The sand is white and fine, it's amazing!

Koh Racha is 12 kilometers south of Phuket, and it takes about 30 to 40 minutes by speedboat. This is the most worthwhile island to visit, and it is a paradise for snorkeling. The island not only has beautiful and complete natural tropical island scenery, but also the unforgettable coastal scenery of the coral reef. Due to its late development, the number of tourists here is relatively small. Compared with the noisy Phuket, the beach environment here is particularly quiet, and there is no hustle and bustle and crowds. The original island scenery is retained. The main entertainment on the island is snorkeling. There are reefs and corals everywhere, and there are many kinds of fish. The water transparency is very high, showing a transparent sapphire blue. The naked eye can see the seabed 500 meters deep. It is really beautiful.

Koh Racha is really nice. It is only half an hour away from Phuket by speedboat. It is definitely suitable for parent-child tours or family tours. It is not hard and the environment is still beautiful! The snorkeling we participated in was in the sea in the Rayaburi Hotel area. There were not many fish, and there were many branches and leaves floating on the sea. It is not recommended. The white sand beach of Racha Hotel has very soft sand, but this is the pier, so there will be more people. There is no beach on the beach in the banraya hotel area. You have to step on the stones to enter the water, but the water is super beautiful and has clear layers. It is the best snorkeling spot! There is also an infinity pool facing the sea! Personally, I feel that the cost performance is super high!

It's very beautiful, and feels like a small Maldives. The round trip by speedboat takes about half an hour each way. The waves are a bit big, and you will feel a bit seasick. The local Nikon is a relatively large shipping company. The local Chinese tour guide's Mandarin is not very standard, but the service is very good. It's OK as long as you can hear the key information clearly.

We booked a hotel on Koh Racha, which included round-trip boat transfers, and the hotel also took care of luggage hauling back and forth. The service was very good. After arriving on the island, you must rent a motorcycle, which is not expensive and is available 24 hours. With a motorcycle, you can solve the transportation problem on the island, and it is very convenient to go to various bays or eat. You must go to Kon Kare Bay in the bay, where snorkeling is better and there are colorful small fish. Ter Bay at the port is also OK, but there are more people there. The hotel also has a very large and beautiful beach, which is bluer than the sea in Phuket, and there are very few people. There are only a few restaurants for eating. One of them is called sea food, which tastes super good. Their chef is absolutely star-rated. Fried rice, noodles, and kapao rice are all the best I have ever eaten in my life, absolutely not exaggerating. Their mango juice is also delicious. And I haven't eaten food in Phuket that tastes better than this restaurant since I left this restaurant. But they serve the dishes very slowly, please wait patiently. I didn't spend any money on snorkeling, and it was also good to play with ordinary equipment by myself. Of course, I have strong skills.
