Welcome to Island Hopping in the Andaman Sea of Thailand
Koh Raya, Koh Racha Island
Koh Racha Islands Thailand is only 23 kilometres distant from Koh Phuket Island, with its beautiful scenery, natural surroundings, crystal clear waters and remote beaches it is one of the most beautiful Thailand islands in the vicinity of well-known Koh Phuket Island. On Koh Raya Island you can go swimming, snorkelling, scuba diving, or just lie in the sun on Siam Bay, Batok Bay or Konkare Bay and enjoy the peace.
Koh Raya Island Thailand offers nature walks through coconut plantations, where you can see water buffaloes grazing in their natural surroundings. See how the local people on Kho Racha - Thailand are still living as they did a hundred years ago, growing mangoes, jackfruit, tamarind, cashew nuts and going out to the Andaman Sea for fishing. The few local inhabitants of Koh Raya Islands are shy, but very friendly and helpful. They do not mind being photographed, in fact they consider it to be an honour that you care about them.
Kho Raya Island's Siam Bay and Kon Kare Bay are one of the only places in the Koh Phuket Island region where the waters of the Andaman Sea remain calm during the monsoon season (May to October) and scuba diving is fantastic. Around Siam Bay and Batok Bay there are several moorings available for visiting boats.
