Racha Island Thailand not to be missed just 30 min from Phuket/Worth visiting only 30 min from Ph...

If you're looking for better beaches than Phuket with turquoise water, white sand, and tranquility, a day trip, or a stay for a few days, I recommend Racha Island.

These beaches have powdery white sand that you won't find anywhere else near Phuket.

Racha Island, or Koh Racha Yai (also known as Raya Island), is a small paradise island just 12 kilometers south of Phuket, popular for day trips, snorkeling, and scuba diving. The island is so small, about 4.5 kilometers by 1.5 kilometers, that it can only accommodate a few resorts: The Racha, a true luxury retreat, Racha Island Resort, Baan Raya Resort, and the modest Bungalow Raya Resort.
Escape Phuket and spend some quality time on another small paradise island for rest and relaxation.

Koh Racha is easily accessible and takes about 30 minutes by speedboat from Chalong Pier in the south of Phuket. You can book a day trip at any tour desk on the island or at your hotel's tour desk.
