Ko Racha
This renowned diving and snorkeling site offers incredibly clear water. Home to fish-
ermen and farmers, Ko Racha Yai has a few bungalows and small restaurants, and
a pretty beach. The lack of development makes this a great place for stargazing at
night. Ko Racha Noi is less developed and features rockier shorelines.
Ko Khai Nok
Another great snorkeling destination, this island also has coral reefs hugging the
coastline - the prime underwater attraction here. Brilliantly colored parrotfish can
often be spotted. The small swimming cove here features white sand flanked by rocky
headlands. Small thatched huts sell towels, T-shirts, and fresh coconut water.
Ko Bon
A 15-minute boat ride from Rawai Beach, this small rocky island features a crescent-
shaped beach along the west coast. The beach has a quaint restaurant that serves sea-
food, Thai, and Western dishes. The island's east coast is owned by Evason Resorts
for the exclusive use of their guests.
Ko Kaew
A Buddha statue facing Phuket greets visitors to this small island, which is visible
from Phromthep Cape. A replica footprint of the Lord Buddha makes this a holy pil-
grimage site for some monks. On the island's far coast is another Buddhist shrine
and chedi .
