- BangkokSachseBangkok, Thailand42,344 contributionsWe drove our rental car to Windmill Viewpoint and to Yanui Beach. There are small parking lot at the beach. We paid 20 Baht at the private parking lot opposite the beach. The beach is small and beautiful and good for swimming, kayaking, and snorkeling. The beach was crowded at 11 am. You could rent kayaks to go to the nearby island in 15 minutes. The water was clean.Written 12 March 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Dan LBunbury, Australia7,494 contributionsOur driver informed that Rawai is where the locals come for leisure and fishing and where tourists come to hire longtail boats for excursions to the any of the many islands. He identified some locals as being from the nearby Sea Gypsy Village, we declined the suggestion that we should visit the fish market there. Interestingly, there were none of the tourist trappings that are very evident on other beaches, Rawai is really a locals' work area, but also an area where there are many hotels of various star rating, restaurants, cafes, food stands and bars. Worth visiting to see a small part of how the locals live.Written 28 March 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Peter R7 contributionsA bit overwhelming at first even though we chose a good time in early evening. Apparently lunch time is very busy.
So you choose and buy your own seafood and take it across the road where a restaurant will give you a menu from which you choose how you want the fish,crab,razor clams, prawns or whatever you have bought should be cooked.
Choose at least two things or do it in relays one at a time. Very affordable compared to Western style or city sea food restaurants.Written 26 July 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

But the restaurant has been abandoned and they are building a resort there now 😭.
Parking for cars has been fenced off.
You see mostly Russian residents and tourists. Especially on weekends 🤔, many walking on the corals and some even fishing with spear guns.
In high season, the hydro foil surfers ruin it for snorkeling and diving.
It's crazy to think the authorities don't protect this at all, given it's one of the only popular places on Phuket snorkeling was possible.

Although not much activity to do on the island, but if you like a very private beach with nice blue sea and white sand. You'd love this island as much as we do!Written 16 March 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- petre4 contributionsBasic rooms , but price is excellent, lovely views [at high tide]. Very nice ambience with a real Thailand feel, compared to so much "concrete and tile" at so many other places. Excellent quality [not typical] Live music on Friday nights by a talented musician that we enjoyed so much we visited again two more times even though we were no longer staying there.Written 12 January 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Hanna S1 contributionThank You for all the arrangements for Phuket Golf Leisure. We played seven days and Red Mountain became our favorite golf course, it was amazing place in all scale.
Phuket Golf Leisure booked all the tee times to us. We wanted to play in the morning and tee times were perfectly booked. During our trip we made some changes, and that worked well also. All the transportations from hotel to Club and back were really good and in time. Special thanks to Alissa and John, You made our trip memorable!Written 20 January 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
