Attractions

Rawai Beach is one of Phuket south coast significant beaches. It's not a swimming beach but a peaceful atmosphere with beautiful views. Enjoy delicious seafood restaurants along the beachfront or take a longtail boat to nearby islands. The beach offers a unique local feel and is perfect for a peaceful holiday.

Friendship Beach:
This is a sheltered secluded beach. The main appeals of Friendship Beach are the views across Chalong Bay to Cape Panwa, Lon and Coral Island. The sea is shallow and tidal but has a fascinating sea garden to explore many different types of habitats such as star fish, crabs, and corals. Fishing and kayaking are possible and recently the beach becomes popular for kite surfing activities.

Gypsy Village:
One of the most interesting sections of population in Phuket is Sea Gypsy. The Sea Gypsies don't have any written language. They do not speak Thai but their own language related closely to Malay and influenced by Thai. There are numerous shell shops and seafood stalls where the fisherman sell their catches of the day.
