Racha Island(皇帝岛)
Everything you Need to Know about Racha Islands
The Racha (or Raya) islands, some 12 km south of Phuket, are best known as excellent diving and snorkelling daytrip destinations. Racha Yai, however, is quickly developing into a place to stay on for a while with a number of bungalow and resort operations springing up in recent years.
Racha Yai reveals itself in splendid fashion, with most arrivals landing onto a strip of fine white sand tucked deep into the long, U-shaped main bay, called Ao Tawan Tok or Ao Bungalow. The water here is clear and perfect for snorkelling, though the bay gets quite busy with visiting boats in the afternoons. The other large bay, Ao Siam, is a pretty place where lonely strolls in solitude are possible.
Racha Noi is uninhabited and has no services or accommodation, but there's some great diving in the area.
Getting to Racha Islands
Long-tail and speedboat transfers may be arranged from Chalong Pier or Rawai, and the trip takes from 45 minutes to more than an hour depending on the boat.
“Racha” 在当地语言中是”皇帝”的意思。与普吉岛其他热门或不那么热门的景点相比，皇帝岛算是一个非常新的面孔。但是自从被推出以来，它便以其精致而绝美的景色、 纯净无污染的海水与沙滩、相对独立的地理位置以及奢华的配套服务得到了不少品味高雅的游客的青睐，其中尤以欧美游客为甚，而这一切绝对堪当得起“皇帝岛” 这个名字。
在景区度假村开发的期间，岛上仅仅砍倒了一棵树，移种了两棵树，足见皇帝岛自然风貌保持的完好。岛上不仅有优美完整的天然热带岛 屿风光，珊瑚礁的海岸景色同样让人难忘。由于开发较晚，到此的游客数量比较少，与喧闹的普吉岛相较，这里沙滩的环境格外清幽，附近只有零星泳客、滑浪发烧 友，及耳畔传来的浪涛拍岸声，俨然一副“世外桃源”的美好景象。
小贴士：皇帝岛上的度假村是到这里不应该错过的地方，TheRachaResort度假村一共拥有75间豪华别墅，每栋别墅都拥有私人庭院、通风的室外浴室，足不出户便可尽享印度洋美丽海洋。
皇帝岛（Racha Island）位于普吉岛南部12英里处，从普吉本岛乘船前往大约只需35-50分钟。皇帝岛以其不受污染的自然环境，美丽的珊瑚而闻名于世。沙滩的环境格外清幽，附近只有零星泳客、滑浪发烧友，及耳畔传来的浪涛拍岸声。
