Ko Rawi lies just east of the small island of Ko Adang. Its southeast corner is home to an abundance of coral reefs and tropical fish who call the reefs home. It is famous for its beautiful beaches which lie undisturbed because few tourists visit the island.
There are no facilities on Ko Rawi at all as it is completely uninhabited. People visit for the day to take advantage of the snorkeling on offer and also to view the beautiful beaches. It is a picture-perfect deserted island therefore it is important to have your camera ready to capture all the unique sights.
There is not much to do here other than snorkeling and sunbathing, but the people who come here aren’t looking for anything else. If you are traveling in a tour group, lunch will be provided. However, if you have hired a boat and are here on your own, you will need to bring your own food.
Getting There & Away
There are daily ferries from Ko Lanta (taking 1 hour, 30 minutes) and Ko Lipe (taking 30 minutes). Longtail boats can also be hired from Ko Lipe. The nearest airport is at Hat Yai, which is about 1 hour away from Bangkok by air.
