Racha Islands (Raya)

The Racha Islands, also known as the Raya Islands, are a group of two islands located off the coast of Phuket in Thailand. The islands, Koh Racha Yai and Koh Racha Noi, are known for their crystal-clear waters, white sandy beaches, and vibrant coral reefs.

Koh Racha Yai is the larger of the two islands and is a popular destination for day trips and snorkeling excursions. Visitors can explore the island's beautiful beaches, go snorkeling or diving to see colorful marine life, or simply relax on the shore.

Koh Racha Noi is smaller and less developed than its sister island, making it a peaceful retreat for those looking to escape the crowds. The island is home to pristine beaches and offers excellent diving opportunities with its clear waters and diverse marine ecosystem.

Both islands are easily accessible from Phuket by boat, with regular ferry services running between the mainland and the Racha Islands. Whether you're looking for adventure or relaxation, the Racha Islands offer something for everyone to enjoy in this tropical paradise.
