“Rawai Beach is located at the southern tip of Phuket. It is much less touristy than nearby Kata and Patong beaches and an excellent place to experience some real Thai culture. This palm-fringed beach is best known for sea gypsies, a formerly nomadic fishing minority believed to be of Malanesian descent.”

Rawai beach itself is only used to moor fishing boats, long tail boats and speed boats, for snorkeling and sightseeing trips to Phuket's neighboring islands. Rawai is quite spread out and a scooter is highly recommended. The longer your hire period, the cheaper it becomes and is possible to hire one for around 120baht/day. Otherwise expect to pay 150-200baht/day depending on the type of scooter.

There is a Sea Gypsy Village by the pier with shops and longtail boats for rent. Lots of seafood restaurants on the beach, this is where Phuket Town comes on the weekend for a beach party. There are a few popular cocktail bars on the beach for a limited but fun night life.


Holidays throughout the year is not suitable for swimming.

Rawai Beach, a distance of 5 km (highway 4024) is one of the most beautiful beach in Phuket is the East Coast.
