Rawai Beach

The palm-fringed beach is best known for 'sea gypsies,' a formerly nomadic fishing minority believed to be of Melanesian descent.

On the other side of the cape from Nai Harn, Rawai beach was the first to be regularly visited by Thai tourists to Phuket long before foreigners were a common sight in Phuket.
 


Rawai Beach

Promthep Cape The Rawai area is famous for the Promthep Cape viewpoint and a Sea Gypsy village both of which form part of the Thai and Asian tourist trails. The main beach at Rawai is is not great for swimming, but the casuarina tree lined esplanade is perfect for sampling freshly barbequed seafood at the weekend - a favourite with the locals. This is also an excellent starting point for visits to the outlying islands of Ko Hae and Ko Lone and Ko Racha/Raya- longtail boats and speedboats
