Beach Rawai

Rawai is officially the very first beach in Phuket, but it cannot be called an ideal place for swimming due to frequent high and low tides, as well as a large number of boats in the water. However, it still remains attractive to tourists.

There are many cafes and a fish market here, where freshly caught seafood is sold. Additionally, most boats to other islands depart from here.
