What the day looks like

The Racha Islands lie about twenty kilometres south of Phuket. Racha Yai, the larger one, has white sand bays and exceptionally clear water. Racha Noi, further south, is uninhabited and rocky: it is the best known snorkelling site in the area, with visibility that often exceeds twenty metres. The day starts with a stop at Ko Lon.
