Southern fishing village and departure point for island-hopping boat tours.
Rawai is a working fishing village at Phuket's southern tip, famous as the launch point for long-tail boats to Koh Bon, Racha Yai, and Coral Island, plus sunset trips to Promthep Cape.
It is not a swimming beach — come for seafood, boat charters, and local atmosphere.
Charter long-tail boats, visit Promthep Cape at sunset, shop the Rawai seafood market, explore Yanui and Nai Harn beaches nearby, and visit Sea Gypsy village viewpoints.
Rawai and Nai Harn offer villa rentals and boutique resorts in a quieter southern setting.
Select live seafood at the pier market and have it cooked next door — a quintessential Phuket experience at local prices.
