Ko Kai
and Ko Racha Yai
Racha
Yai Island has clean, powdery beaches like those of the Similan
Islands. On the east, at Ao Kon Kae Bay, is a coral reef where
the diving is excellent. With well preserved hard corals in
both shallow and deeper water, snorkeling and scuba diving
are the favorite activities. A foot path leads to the top
of a hill on the bay's south side which provides a panoramic
view of whole island. You can follow the footpath down to
the other side of the island where there is a lovely, nearly
deserted beach.
South of Phuket,
and about 1 ? hours by regular passenger boat, or less than
an hour by express boat, Racha Yai and its sister island Racha
Noi (also known as the Ko Raya islands) should be avoided
during the monsoon season when travel may be restricted.
From Phuket
Ko Kai is about halfway to the famous Phi Phi islands, and
can be combined with a trip there, or a day trip to the Ko
Racha islands for some good snorkeling.
