In Rawai, there’s an excellent opportunity to be alone with nature and stay away from tourist crowds, but beach recreation here will not be entirely comfortable. Get acquainted with the other regions of the island in the Phuket Districts section and choose where to go.

Look for the best views and fresh air in the Viewpoints, Walkways, and Beaches collections – they contain locations where you can recharge and enjoy nature. To get better acquainted with Thai culture and traditions, check out the Temples, Museums, and Excursions sections.

For a comfortable stay, don’t forget about the Useful Info section. It contains truly important information: which hospital to go to, how to call a taxi, or which applications will make everyday tasks easier.

Sea lovers should definitely explore the Yachts section. You’ll also find marine adventures in the Diving and Fishing collections.
