Nice beach at the southern end of Phuket. You can catch a boat to the islands nearby or enjoy choices of seafood at the numerous stalls and restaurants.

The southernmost beach in Phuket. Not the cleanest or most swimming friendly place as this is a major landing and departure point for a lot of the island tours. The sand is kind of claggy and there is a constant smell of gasoline from all the moored boats. Very picturesque though, with the islands just offshore and the myriad boats bobbing up and down in the water. Lined with restaurants and the usual mandatory massage places, this beach epitomises "small" Phuket. Unfortunately someone has bought out a huge tract of land and demolished almost a fourth of the shops on the seafront. Destroying the character of the place with what will no doubt be some monstrosity. Parking is disciplined with all the two wheelers lining the beach side of the road. There is plenty of well demarkated four wheeler parking on the land side of the road . At the entrance to the pier there is a you-buy, we-fry fish market combined with food stalls and restaurants where your fresh purchase will be cooked up in a style and taste of your choosing.

Nice place to have seafood dinner in the afternoon. You buy seafood by the weight og any kind and take it to a retaurant by the sea side to cook, BBQ it or fry it. The quality is very good and fresh. I will recommand a visit ther.

Many nice restaurants around with fresh seafood. You can buy fresh seafood from local fisherman and have them cooked by restaurant nearby for a very good price.

Beautiful, Quiet and Peaceful beach in southwest Phuket. Close to beautiful beach’s and big Buddha monument. Excellent food and drinks!

Ok for chilling on the sand but you can't swim or sunbathe there as the water is occupied and polluted by boats, and the whole stretch of sand is shaded by trees. Better visit the nearby cafe's or just go to another beach.

Come here for fresh seafood. Parking available

Rawai Beach is a popular place for foreigners to live including us. Stunning islands are just a kilometre or so away. In the middle of Rawai is a reef and to the Yan Nu side a beautiful beach covered by shady trees. Perfect spot for young families.

Great chilled vibe here with some excellent seafood, cafes and bars. Easy bus ride from Karon beach today by smart bus, for 100bht

Not for swimming. Relatively quiet place on the island of Phuket. As local foreigners say - here you can still see and feel the authentic island of Phuket. I agree.

Terrible tourist handling! We booked a longtail boat for a whole day, paid him before (do not do that). Took us to one place (1 hour) dropped us of on the second and left us there for 4 hours. Took us back to the start…

Such a calm beach to have in Rawai, it’s very scenic. Lovely to sit down for a meal or sunset, lots of boat to hire with very reasonable price. We used Johnny and he is such a good guy, we get on the boat and ready to go, but suddenly got an engine issue, he tried to fix his boat, but seems like it will take a long time, so immediately exchange us to another boat, very friendly and very attentive. I am sure other boat guys are the same. Due to many boats being around, doesn’t seem to be an ideal beach for swimming. Definitely the best place to be with the sea breeze and the view. Many lovely restaurants on the side, which you can order and sit on the beach chair and enjoy the view. There are also seafood markets around, which you can explore, super fresh seafood with many varieties. During the non covid time, there is a Rawai park, but it’s closed at the moment. Many things are closed for now but still much more no life than other beaches. Good vibe around.

Nice place in Phuket. If you want eat a live seafood 🦞 this is the place. There are many sellers who sell a live seafood which kind you want then take them to any restaurant to cook them for you only 100 bht for a kilo.

Part of the fun coming here is to choose your fresh Seafood to be cooked by restaurants across the street. However we do think the restaurant and stalls are linked somewhat but suppose that's part of business. We surveyed which stall had the best selection in terms of pricing and variety and went with one of the middle stalls. Negotiated on the price of the seafood and usually instead of giving discount they will throw in some "free" clams. The fish we had bought came out not very fresh after cooking. So we were puzzled cos it looked fresh when we bought it. But overall a good experience and fun place to experience.

If you're looking for a place to eat fresh and very reasonably priced seafood, look no further. You can choose any type of seafood you like directly from the fishermen selling it by the sea and bring it to a local cafe (there're several to choose from) to cook it for a small fee. The cafes are right by the sea as well, so you'll eat with a stunning view as well. The parking access is a little confusing - you will need to drive between the stalls and cafes further down a small lane and you will find it at the end of it, a somewhat bumpy field, but convenient enough.

Great spot for FRESH seafood in Phuket. You can buy all of the seafood at the Market area to cook at home or you can walk a little bit up to the restaurantS area and have them cook it for you however you want. They gonna charge only 100 thb / Menu (Might be less you have to check the price with restaurants first) About the seafood price there maybe a difference between Thai and foreigner prices, recommend you to check carefully.

I spent 1850 Thai baht on two mantis shrimps, two crabs, and four prawns. Despite reading many comments advising to negotiate, I didn't manage to get much of a discount. There was a significant difference between the prices listed and the actual prices given by the staff. While it sounded like there was a big discount, in reality, there wasn't much. When I went to the seafood processing restaurant, they charged 100 baht per kilogram, with half a kilogram or less priced at 75 baht. The total charge was 380 baht (including 3 dishes, 1 coconut (80 baht), and 1 green tea (50 baht)). Overall, the discounts were limited (probably because I'm not good at bargaining 😅).

Rawai Seafood Market is the best destination for Thai and tourists to taste a fresh seafood. There have a variety seafood and good quality with reasonable price. •fresh •delicious food •reasonable price

Delicious. This is my first time visiting this restaurant after 2 years of living in Phuket. I wish I visited sooner. The process is straight forward, all you do is go to the fresh/ live seafood market and pick out what you want (weigh & pay). Then you bring it to the restaurant where they weigh everything again and find a table. Once seated, you choose from the menu how you want your food prepared and what sides/ drinks. There are many choices. I had the shrimp cakes, fried sea bass with fish sauce, lemon prawn (the size of my hand), and stir fried morning glory. Everything was exceptionally delectable. The wait staff are responsive albeit very busy.

This is a great place to go shopping for Seafood. Make sure you have a Thai with you otherwise prices will be higher for Farang. 😊 There is a good choice of different Seafood, like Shrimps, Lobsters and Crabs in different sizes and variates. Once you have picked everything, you can sit down in a restaurant and decide how you want the food prepared. Great fresh and reasonably priced, I will be sure to come here again.

Interesting place, good selection of seafood, came here for dinner several times. Don't be afraid to haggle with sellers, you can easily knock 10% off the final price (just print your price on their calculator, based on the price offered by the seller). Near the market there are many taverns and cafes that prepare purchased seafood; the price for cooking is approximately the same everywhere (100 badds per 1 kilogram). On average, a lunch or dinner with seafood and beer will cost 300 BD per person, it all depends on the amount of seafood you buy. Near the market you can visit a long pier going into the sea and excellent shops with a large selection of processed shells and sea souvenirs. You can also get to the village by bus for 100 BD per person (there is an air conditioner), the bus runs on schedule, the latest one leaves the village for the Airport (passes Kata, Karon) at 19.30, it is better to check the current schedule at the bus stop, from the market to the stops take about 10-15 minutes.

Love! I’ve been there twice in 1-Phuket trip There’re many seafood shop here, i bought it from Nazi’s food. They’ve some special discount if you are frequent customer. The cooker, first day I’ve tried Sawasdee seafood, the service was quick and warm welcome, reasonable price, love it! Second time, I’ve tried Khun Pha seafood. The cook it better, but service is not that impressive like the first one. Overall here is super impressive. Recommended to visit!!!!

Was a lovely experience on the bargaining part (Fish, x2 Lobster, x6 Oyster, x3 Giant Freshwater Prawn & 1kg Squid for 3700bht) 😏 As for the cooking, the cook definitely bring out the freshness of each ingredient by recommending varieties of styles with just additional of 100bht/kg.

Very good place to eat fresh seafood!!! Buy your seafood and ask the restaurant to cook. They offered many cooking styles. The raw seafood cost around 2400 baht. The cooking fee charged by the restaurant was only 425baht. Highly recommended place for fresh seafood.

We decided to stop by the market after a walk on Cape Promptep. Parking 40 baht. The market itself is small, but the seafood selection is good. Prices will depend on how you bargain. For our package of 2 lobsters, 2 maluski, 8 scallops and 4 forgot the name, we paid 2500 baht. + the seller put a squid as a gift. For cooking, we went to a cafe overlooking the sea. You will be offered how to cook, 1 kg 100 baht. We paid 550 baht for our package + ordered drinks. It was an interesting experience. You can also buy souvenirs and fruits here. We decided to try durian 😁 If we stayed in Phuket longer, we would come here every week

choose fresh fish, seafood from the aquariums; bargain; check other kiosk; go back; bargain a bit; pay; take to the place in front of kiosk or any other one; ask for the recommended way to cook whatever you broug6 with you; adjust (if you know what are you doing); pay 175 bhat for 0.5 food preparation; get your order; enjoy! struggle for why i took so few that expensive but so delicious food!

What an incredible experience, we had our food cooked at Khun Mai Seafood! I can’t describe the flavours but they were unforgettable. The yellow crab curry was my favourite!

My visit to the Khun Pha seafood restaurant in Rawai Seafood market was a unique and delightful experience. The concept of selecting fresh seafood from a vendor market and having it expertly cooked at the restaurant for just 100 baht per kilo added an exciting twist to my dining adventure. The variety and quality of seafood were impressive and personalized feast. The reasonable pricing and the interactive aspect of choosing my ingredients made this dining experience both enjoyable and memorable. A must-try for seafood enthusiasts seeking a hands-on culinary journey.

Wide selection of fresh seafood. Possibly the best area to have a seafood meal here in Phuket, Rawai. Managed to get some tiger prawns, whole sotong, clams, sea bass and a big lobster(2500baht/kg). Amazing service from staff there. Weigh your seafood infront of you and confirm the price before putting them into baskets to be brought to next door restaurants for cooking. Cost for cooking service at the restaurants nearby are all the same. So you may choose the most conducive restaurant to dine-in.

Seafood heaven. A wide selection of fishermen Shops to choose your fresh seafood from. Lobsters, Shrimps, crustaecens, different fish, squid and much much more that I cannot name. You buy what you want then choose one the Restaurants who will charge you only for the cooking per weight. Fresh, lively, tasty. For any seafood lover this is the place to be.

8 Pax, total less than 10k baht including cooking fee and drinks!!! damn worth it!!! pick you own seafood from the market opp and bring it to your desire cooking restaurant for a fee of 100baht/kg...

There are lots of sea food options. You can buy from fish sellers and restaurants cook them for you. Generally they charge you 75 BHT per kg. We preferred ordered at the restaurant since the prices were reasonable. Also we ate simple things but if you like various kinds of sea products you will definetly find it. In Phuket almost every restaurant there is fish and other chells, scallops or etc. But in this market you can find fresh and every kind with reasonable price.

Price is not like super cheap it's depending on your bargaining skill, but there're real expert that dealing with tourist daily. Seafood is fresh though. Pick from any stall, make good bargain and go ahead with any of the restaurant there. if you're driving, go through the narrow market street, there's parking area at the end of the street, some local guy asking for 40thb for parking.

Beautiful and refreshing cape thanks to the strong breeze from the sea. Beware of the big crowd on holidays though. My experience there wasn't peaceful because there were so much noise from the crowd. The person sitting next to me was watching videos without headphones on..... :( Because people from all walks of life gather there to see the sunset, you can't expect all of them to be considerate, I guess.

What can I say? It was an impressive sun set. The sun shine color reflect with ocean surface look amazing. I feel truly romantic even though I was there alone lol, but you never be alone. This place was quiet pack and hardly find parking spot. It is an easy option to enjoy the sunset, you don't need to climb mountain to see it. Highly recommend to arrive there before 5:30 pm, you will seeing the beautiful sky changing it color. You will see many boat sailing around that place. I was really jealous of them, but the view on your spot is absolutely stunning as well.

Hey there! Have you heard of that place in Thailand where the sunset is just breathtakingly beautiful? Cape Phrom Thep is a great spot for taking some stunning photos. I happened to visit the place during lunchtime while on my way back to the hotel. It was such a great experience! I recommend visiting this place early in the morning or around sunset time to avoid the heat!

Amazing scenic view... We really enjoyed our walk in this park... It has a huge Banyan tree, surrounded by mind blowing view of the mountains and the sea... Try to go around sunset.... The place will really sooth your eyes and calm your mind...

Gorgeous views on the southern end of Phuket. This is the ideal place to enjoy a sunset. However, it is not a secluded place for peace and quiet if you spend time in the most highly trafficked spot. Tourist buses arrive in throngs to take in the sunset with you. If you do not mind some hustle and bustle along with jaw-dropping views, this is for you. Note; a less mesmerizing but still beautiful sunset with a similar view awaits via a quiet little retreat a few minutes away from here. Expats, locals, or your willingness to explore will point the way.

The hike was fun. The scenery at the end of the Cape was beautiful. The hike takes about 30 minutes, but is well worth it if you want to see the sunset at about 6:30 PM.

Best points to watch sunset from Phuket. Nearby free parking available. The true beauty of the nature can be perceived as the most attractive and unique place it is. The dramatic skyline, the deep blue sea and the nearby island together forms a delightful atmosphere. Don't miss that point during Phuket trip.

A nice place. You can walk around and take great photos. Parking is free. The toilet is across the road, 5 baht. The elephant statues are very cute, the children were delighted. Didn't go down. We were in cloudy weather, but the photos still turned out great 👍🏻

Phuket's Promthep Cape is a must-visit. The journey down to the cape is a bit rough, but it’s worth it for the sunset views. Imagine the sound of waves, the sun's glitter on the sea, and a strong breeze that could sweep away your cap. In this setting, deep conversations with someone special feel truly magical.

As the sun sets with a quiet dignity, casting its golden hue over the tranquil waters, Cape Promthep reveals itself as a bastion of natural splendor. Here, where the land tenderly kisses the Andaman Sea, you'll find an orchestra of waves composing a symphony against the rocky embrace of the cape. The palm trees stand as serene sentinels, witnessing the perpetual dance between the elements. This landscape, a tableau of vibrant contrasts and soothing expanse, invites the soul to partake in its timeless ritual. To stand upon this cape is to be enveloped in the Earth's own rhythm, to feel an intrinsic part of the grand tapestry of life. One can not help but be moved by the sheer beauty that Promthep offers — a must-visit for those who seek to commune with the world in its most majestic form.

We came here around 6pm to enjoy sunset. Place it’s beautiful the view you get it’s very unique, definitely worth but just too crowded can’t fully enjoy. Everyone leaves all together at end so beware if you are driving. Bike recommended 👍

Very neat place to watch sunsets from. During my stay (Jan 22) cannot say that saw many people there. So the place is great for contemplations or even mediations. Stumbled upon local wedding ceremony while being there last time.

Excellent spot for watching sunset along the coast. It does get crowded so come a bit early to get a decent spot to sit down. There are shops t buy drinks and food if you want. If you are coming here by taxi make sure you have a ride back, because once the sun sets the taxis disappear from the area. As a result all the ride sharing app prices skyrocket.

Its a short hike to a beautiful viewpoint and the view is terrific and mesmerising. Plan accordingly so that you can catch the sunset there. The distance is short but due to uneven road it feels a bit exhausting. I have seen people walking in mere flip flops but I would definitely suggest to wear a good pair of shoes as the roads are slippery at some pointa due to loose sand. The sea, the waves , the rocks and the sunset will make all your effort and exhaustion worth it. The hike is much easier than dragon crest trail and must be on your list whenever you wish to visit phuket.

Free entrance and parking. Need proper walking shoes for a comfortable walk. A very beautiful view. Have a few souveniers stalls.

Went there around 620. Manage to get a spot for subset viewing. Most people stay up there, you may want to walk down a bit, then you can have perfect view

The ocean view at the cape is truly breathtaking. You can gaze upon the vast expanse of the sea and the surrounding islands. While I've visited this place numerous times during the daytime, this is my first evening visit. The Astronomy Team from my daughter's school arranged an observation event on the Mid Autumn Festival Night. It was remarkably tranquil after sunset, providing an excellent opportunity to observe the moon, stars, and planets. You could even behold the starry sky without the need of a telescope.

After parking your bike or dropped off by car don't let the locked gate turn you away - walk past it up the hill and you'll open up to a gorgeous view of the cape and surrounding areas and islands. Few stalls to buy drinks from. There is a light house where you can climb up. Inside the very small Museum there is ice cold air con as well. You can walk down to the rocks but ensure you have proper foot wear. Great for sunsets and sunrises. Midday does get hot but it's still a great outlook.

Popular destination to watch the sunset and it did not disappoint. We took a small trail down the not-too-steep pathway down the cape, highly recommended to go further down as most of the crowd stayed up at the very top. But make sure to go up before it gets dark because there's no lamppost or any light feature down the path. Plenty of parkings for buses, cars, bikes, but I would recommend to leave earlier(especially before sunset) to avoid traffic congestion. By the way the coconut ice-cream near the parking was phenomenon, truly a must!

Beautiful place for a sight seeing visit in Phuket. It gives a top view of the sea and the mountains and looks amazing. All the vibrant colors make it look even better. Also there are some structures and some historical museum like place made there which makes this place a really nice spot to visit. Also if you can make it during sunset the views are amazing.

What a beautiful place to visit. Not too many tourists around when we were there early afternoon. There is a lighthouse there that you can go up into and look out of. Beautiful views over the cape as well. A refreshing change from the crowded beaches at Kata and Karon.

What an amazing place for small hike and sunset. Too crowded due to weekend. We went little late and almost jam packed with crowd. Mosquito Repellent is must while going there. Try for local food, roads were clean and neat, try with two wheeler ride

An impressive sight with one of the best sunsets on the island, on a not too cloudy day. Many same minded sunset chasers, the best place to chill, bring a chilled six-pack, drink with your mates, and just gaze out into the sea looking at the yoke. Public transport is available, but limited times. The best way to get here would be a private hire ride or on a private bus tour.

Good place for under fives. It was quiet on a weekday which was great for us and our kid loved it. Water bit is as shown in Google photos, there's a fairly big indoor play area (ball pit, slides, etc.), and there's an outdoor playground space too. Food was surprisingly good! You'll need to bring your own towels (for swim and shower), soap and socks. Overall a great space to spend a few hours and entertain little ones!

I didn't like the attitude of the staff at the entrance. Why should my child, who hasn't even started walking yet, be forced to stand against the wall with a ruler to measure height, and increase the cost of entry depending on the result? Do you have services that require weighing a child or measuring the shape of a skull? If the cost of your services depends on the age of the child, then I am ready to provide documents confirming his age, I will not tolerate other conditions for my child, depending on his physiological characteristics. The staff at the entrance are not interested in visitors in any way, and do not even try to explain their strange requirements.

Many restaurants and fresh sea food available here. Don’t have public beach like patong beach. Mostly you can see lots of boats for another island tours. You can buy fresh sea food and restaurants will prepare the sea food as per your preference. Must visit place for sea food lovers.

First and last time in Rawai beach area. Passed trough tou 20 years ago. My hotel was at the major road, to my surprise the traffic was quite heavy and very noisy. Many seems to pass trough to Naiharn here. The place does not seem to have tuk tuks, no taxi or local buses. One day I decided to walk 3 kilometers to Naiharn, 2 times I had to turn back because of private properties. Took me 1,45 hours to reach that Naiharn beach. The beach itself has a lot of fishermans boats. Between them you can do some swimming, the area around Rawai has a lot of 7-11,bars, massageplaces all situated close to this heavy road.... 2 positive things, 1.streetkitchens are plenty and Nice. 2. Tours with speedboats to Coral island or Raya or booth are 1300 bath or maybe lower. Did not bargain. And these Islands are close. Recommend Raya especially, this was with buffet lunch and pickup at your hotel. When I left for Phuket town , I could not see any tuk tuk or taxi or local buses. Its Kinda hard walking for 2 hours with a heavy bag,with Sun scorching.

Great place for younger toddlers. Underground play area, place to scoot. Indoor soft play (take socks in advance for adults and kids ) . Splash park with a few slides and shallow enough for our 2 year old to stand in. The cafe is reasonable and we thought the food was decent . Weekend are slightly more expensive

Our family is a regular here. Our children love the park, whether they play in the pool, the outdoor playground or the indoor play area that is filled with a great selection of toys. All the toys are children safe and are of a quality brand name. The toys are regularly changed to keep our daughters interested and safe. Full time staff are always inside the play areas to ensure everyone is safe The restaurant is excellent, the food quality is top notch which is a surprise for a kids park. We have been to several other kids parks here in Phuket and Bangkok and the food is usually ok and what would be expected at a kids park. The photos posted we're from our last visit before Christmas.

Lifeguard-supervised kiddy pool. Larger pool available for older guests. Bubble foam machine and surprise buffet lunch included. Was lots of all-day fun and not expensive for just the swimming package. Kids club activities packages also available.

Great place if you have children till the age of 4, lots to do for them. Even though they are under construction still something is open. Not so much to do for an older children because the playground is full of baby toys and slides also the pool is shallow 50cm. Great that money you pay at the entrance you can use for the food inside (drinks not included) so you pay for the entrance and food as in one. Recommend ☀️

I was here twice with my 2.5+5 years old boys. The place is amazing for these ages. The indoor playground occupied them for few hours. Also, the pool outside is nice and the sliders are small and perfect for small children. What I liked the most is that I could really sit down and relax. The children could play alone and everything looks pretty safe. The entrance fee is very reasonable, considering that you get voucher for food for the same value you paid. The food in the restaurant is ok. Tip: bring socks for children and adults for the indoor playground, otherwise you will need to buy it (40thb per pair). Drinks are not allowed inside. It costs 50thb for a small bottle of water. Entrance fee during the week is 250thb for a kid over 70cm and 100thb for adult. In the weekend it is slightly more expensive (i think 100thb more per ticket).

Big airconditioned kids club room is great place to get out of the heat and for younger kids to spend time. Must wear socks, so either bring your own or buy them at the entrence for 40 bht. The fee is 250 bht per kid (under 70cm enter free) and 100 per adult, which translates to 450 bht that you can order food for at the cafe. The place probably had it's glory days a couple of years ago and is just getting back on track now - but even just the indoor + small outdoor play area and pool area are enough for a couple of hours of fun.

Great if you need some time for kids to play in the cool. Water park is small but 3 and 4 years olds will love it. Soft play was OK but lots of role play games and other toys to play with. Don't forget socks for soft play area. Over all good but needs a freshen up

Given the color of the water, we only stayed there for 10 minutes. A children's pool where the water isn't even treated is outrageous! There's even foam on the walls 🤢. I'll send you 3 photos. In your opinion, which water is the cleanest? The pool, the fish pond, or the footbath? Answer: the fish pond.

Very calm beach with amazing sunrise view. Infrastructure is poor, however I loved the peaceful atmosphere and lots of greenery. Kayak rent available from 9 am.

Nice small beach with clear sand and turquoise water with corals. You can rent kayak, paddle board and snorkelling equipment. There arent any sunbeds you must bring blanket for the floor. Carpark is very small and can fill up very early of the day. Thank you 🙏😎

Small quiet beach. Best to come early if you want to find a perfect spot to lay your mat. Snorkeling off the beach, you can see lots of beautiful tropical marine fish. Great if you are not a strong swimmer ( you go out to the offshore island for fantastic Snorkeling and scuba diving.) Can rent everything on the beach if you didn't bring any gear of your own.

One of my favorite beaches. Yanui Beach. Not to busy during the week. Perfect water to snorkle or scuba. All equipment available here at the beach. They also rent kayaks 100 baht per hour. Rock formations to climb on for adventure with kids.2 Thai restaurants across the street for food and drink. No 711 or Family Mart so bring what you need.

A beautiful beach, quiet, clean, magnificent view of Ko Man Island and as always a life guard at the ready. If you don’t want to be surrounded by tourists then this idyllic little spot is perfect.

Very nice, small very swimmable beach. There is a toilet truck on site in the parking lot. Drinks, beach chairs available for rent. The little parking lot can get pretty full so best to come early.

I went on Friday, 4 August 2023 around 2pm till 3.30pm. The beach is beautiful but there is some kind of oil in black colour. Its everywhere, it gets stocked in your swimwear, in your shoes. It looks like diesel oil from boats engine🤷‍♀️

If I could give negative starts to this place, I would. We come to this beach often. It’s nice enough and the restaurants across the street are great. Today, we rented some snorkeling equipment from the shop shown below. People seemed nice. We rented two snorkeling sets - well, one pair of goggles/snorkel, two life jackets, and two pairs of fins. The total came to 500 baht The goggles had a leak and filled up with water (tested on two people’s faces), so we went back and asked to change to another one. Second pair also had a leak and filled up with water for both of us. After 45 minutes of adjusting, tightening, loosening, and trading (we’d brought one pair of goggles/snorkel from home), we decided to just go back and ask for our money back. This is where the problem came in. Instead of giving our money back, the rather round woman (seen in the photo) told us she will give us half back and we need to leave. We tried to speak with her and she called over her husband (?) who also told us half back. We politely told them we cannot use the snorkeling gear if it is broken when rented, but she told us that we only tried two pairs of goggles and that’s not enough to say her products don’t work - then told us we need to try 10 different pairs before she’ll give us a refund. We said ok, and her husband came over and started talking politely to us about how they can only give half back. At this point, the woman pulled out her phone and started taking photos of us, quad took photos of the 250 she gave us back when we finally left 50% short. While she was taking photos of us, her husband started telling us we have to listen to him and can’t speak, kept telling us that we already touched his equipment so he can’t give us a refund for the rentals, and after a 3 minute monologue, he told us the conversation is over and we need to leave now. We said ok we’re leaving and took pictures of the place, and the woman ran over and started shouting at us, telling us to delete them. She said she’d delete the pictures she had taken of us, but we told her to keep them and we will also take our own. Long story short, this place has horrible customer service, extremely rude employees, and a real surprise in this wonderful country. Go to the shop next door, they’re much more polite.

Very nice neat beach. Has parking , smoking zone, and ice cream. Can do kayaking, snorkeling. Equipments available for rent. Good place to chill with family and kids. Good view as well.

Excellent beach, you can go snorkeling, there is plenty of underwater life. Of course sometimes you see only ordinary fish but about 10 snorkelings in different days it took to collect the foto/video below.

What a place for snorkeling lover. You can easily rent a snorkeling goggles at the beach. And swim to the small island in the opposite of the beach to see the corals!

This was our favourite beach in Phuket by far! It was fairly busy when we went but the palm trees and cove made the beach look that much more spectacular! We went snorkelling for 100 baht each, which was amazing and something I never thought I’d be able to do as I’m not the best swimmer but you can hire life jackets and the fish are fairly close to the shore.

The only reason it’s not 5 stars is because it’s pretty crowded, and there’s a lack of food and beverage options on the beach besides the usual small carts. The beach is in 2 small parts. the water is beautiful emerald green on one side, and the average ocean water colour on the other side. It’s a very small beach and seems to be mostly small families I’d recommend coming here and then walking up to Windmill point which is 300m up the hill (or vice versa) It’s mostly clean, but some rubbish here and there.

This is, perhaps, one of the most picturesque beach locations on Phuket Island. It’s shallow turquoise waters, and golden strip of sand, is flanked by the green, jungle clad cliffs to the rear, and the scenic Koh Man Island just a couple of hundred meters offshore. As mentioned, it’s definitely one of the most scenic locations on the island and provides some great photo opportunities.

Out of all the beaches in Phuket I think this was my favorite, one, my name, and snorkel. The water is pretty gentle and a little bit more clear than the others. It is also a lot more chill and less people

It was good! We had a great day! Small little beach, we managed to find parking but was great fun! Long drive but! Right at the bottom of the island.

Small beautiful beach surrounded by small hills. Plenty of water sports options are available there. Few food options are also there. This one of the beautiful beach in Phuket where you might enjoy the sea and take plenty of photographs as the place is full of natural beauty.

Great place with plenty of parking for motorcycles by the beach, there are also a couple of small restaurants across the road. This is perhaps the number one place for snorkeling in Phuket, in particular the island "Koh Man" opposite the beach. There are plenty of kayaks available to rent by the hour and makes it easy to cross over the chanel to the island. However, if you're a fairly strong swimmer, you can get across to the island without a problem, I would say it's about 350 meters. I did this at high tide and there was a light current pushing me slowly from right to left as you face the island. However, a lifeguard told me that the current is much stronger at low tide, so be aware of that if you plan to swim across. Once on the island side, some great marine life around the rocky shoreline. A few long boats do use the chanel to bring swimmers here, so just be aware of any boats in the vicinity if you're swimming across.

Beautiful beach on the corner, lots of people come here but there still is space with toilets nearby. Good for paddle boarding and sunbathing with friends and parking available most of the time.

Amazing beach. Great for snorkeling. Can rent kayaks, umbrellas , snorkels , etc. there’s an island across you can tether your kayak too. But be aware of jellyfish!! I got stung within 20 minutes of snorkeling by a dead jelly.

Perfect snorkeling beach! Busy beach! We came by scooter, great stop! You can rent a kayak to go to the island across.

Beautiful and clean beach. Plenty of motorcycle parking and a restaurant across the road for food and drinks. Great for snorkelling also. Would recommend swimming on high tide

Amazing spot for snorkelling, kayaking and supping. You can rent it all on the beach and go to island, where is beautiful coral reefs and plenty crabs. Also beautiful sunset point from the water.

A nice chilled out waterfront restaurant. Sometimes the service is excellent, and sometimes it's indifferent. Food is good, and reasonably priced for Phuket waterfront. If you order the oysters (they're very fresh) try the Thai style condiments option. Yummy.

This is an open-air restaurant with plants and trees, literally growing in the restraunt. The help is kind and knowledgeable. The owner is a very strong, kind, beautiful woman. Every dish I ate there was so delicious. Nikitas will be one of my favorite places to dine in Rawai. Smiles Janet from the U.S.

First thing first, the vibe of the restaurant is so great. 😎 I was there with a friend for a lunch. We ordered oysters for an appetizer, it was good, it came with fried onions and garlics and some leaves with yummy seafood sauce 👍🏻 We also had Papaya salad, Grilled pork neck, Deep fried soft shell crab with garlic pepper, grilled squid and seafood TomYum for a soup 👍🏻 These orders we had was for 2, it’s normal Thai size. Food and its portions is decent. I’d actually like to give it a 4.5-stars but there’s no button for it 😅 The minus five is just b’cuz there were uninvited flies that join our food 😅

The restaurant is nice,the service was great, our waitress was very friendly and the view was amazing. But the food was just ok. Our friends ordered a fish and Som Tam( green papaya salad). The fish was delicious but the papaya salad wasn’t spicy at all. They informed our waitress who took the salad back to the kitchen where they added chilli and it got a bit better. My wife ordered a Beef spicy salad and it was the same story, no spicy at all. It went back to the kitchen and it returned a bit better. Although the beef was chewy. I got a Philly cheesesteak sandwich and the meat was chewy as well. I would go back for a beer, which was ice cold, and the view.

Went for dinner , seafood was great ( not the best we have had) Staff were attentive , overall experience = 8/10

Great tasting food. Very scenic location right on the water. Service was a bit slow and food was expensive. But still definitely worth a visit

Lovely setting, yummy food!! The staff were amazing when we asked for a cake for our Dad’s birthday! They bought the cake and candle then sang and danced for us. It was a lovely experience!!

Relaxed atmosphere and one of the best views in Rawai. my favorite places to eat Thai style fresh oysters with spicy sauce. I highly recommend this place.

There were not decent amount choice on their menu. However, I can't complain that because food quality, taste and presentation were good . Also, restaurant's view with ambiance was good. I can recommend here👍🏼 The only thing that some of their responds in feedback comments were weird. Even how harsh/false comment, a seller should not respond in a negative way. This may lead customers to afraid little bit.

Pretty food and beautiful view. If you are not careful you will order too much food because they have many delicious stuff.

We called into Nikita's midday for lunch. No staff were at the front to welcome us so we had to hunt someone down to get a table. We wanted a waterside table but were advised against it account the fact birds were pooping on the table! We did see a rather large sized, grey bird perched up in the tree. We ordered two dishes, both pork, one curry and one noodle dish. The flavour of both dishes was outstanding with wonderfully fresh vegetables. However, we both found the pork to be a little dry which was a shame. Nikita's is a beautiful waterside restaurant with great views overlooking Rawai Beach with the islands just off in the distance, Koh Bon being the closest. Staff were not overly friendly but they were a little busy when we were there. Prices at Nikita's are at the top end for eateries along the beach road. We paid 550 baht for two dishes, including one Jasmine rice and a large bottle of soft drink. No VAT or service charge is added to the bill. Major cards are accepted with no extra charge. Nikita's is worth a visit, especially in the evening but advisable to pre book as they do get busy.

Very nice place to eat and it’s cosy. But…the service was not welcoming, and portion of the food was appetizers (small) also the pricing was too high.

The food was good, but the service spoiled the whole experience. We waited for more than 15 mins to get someone to help us. The old lady is the rudest person I’ve ever met! She refused to help us as our menus were “open” - since when is there a rule that you need to close your menu in order to get served?? We were not allowed to order starters first, the rude lady instructed us to order all our food at once. She said the food will take very long, but then our pasta arrived within 10 mins. Why were we not allowed to order starters then? Also, a rat ran over my feet 🐀 I do not recommend this restaurant! There are way better places in Rawai!

Last time we visited Thailand was 10 years ago. We remembered Nikita's was a delicious restaurant that we must try again. We were afraid that it wouldn't be the same as before but the truth was that it was as good as we remembered. Stunning view, perfect food and service and good atmosphere. The prices are a bit higher than other Thai restaurants in the area but totally worth the money.

Amazing place by the water in Rawai beach. I went there for sunset but I would definitely come back during the day too. Perfect place to chill for a meal or just a drink. Friendly staff and nice ambiance.

Very nice outdoor restaurant, by the sea. The nice sea breeze keeps you comfortable during the warm evenings. Good tasty Thai seafood and other delicious Thai dishes. Friendly and service minded staff.

Always amazing, delicious food and great quality ingredients. Such a beautiful place to sit and relax.

⭐️ Pancakes - Must try ⭐️ Tropical treat protein - tasty Really nice and cozy place. Friendly staff. Parking for cars

I fancied something more traditional for breakfast today so found some great options here including fruit porridge and iced coffees

I arrived in Rawai about a week ago and have visited here nearly every day 😊 There is the option to sit in the beautiful outside dining area or in the air conditioning indoors. The food here is fresh and great value. Staff are always friendly and it has a lovely peaceful atmosphere.

Really enjoyed the full Pancakes with the wonderful maple syrup and fruits, also got a caramel latte which was delicious. Really worth it to visit this place!

Absolutely enchanted by this lovely gem in Rawai. Their whole wheat pancakes take awhile to prepare but when it arrives, it is crispy at the edges and hearty within. Divine with pancake syrup. Blended smoothies gave me a much needed cleansing after days of fried noodles. The incredibly friendly owner also offered iced water when the weather was hot.

It's a good place to eat breakfast, but in the same time you can try cakes that are quite good. I was impressed by their kindness, ready to recomand you what to try. Still, they should try to have more cakes, even if they have verry tasty one. I highly recommend this location, as a place to try to eat 🤗🤗🤗

EAT HERE!!! This is the best restaurant in rawai for quality of food and price. Lived in Rawai for 9 months and have been to almost every place, this is the best. Much better than boost! Try the pancake, truly amazing!

This is easy the best breakfast place in town! Love the wonderful staff the food is just amazing.

I oredered scrambled tofu and avocado on toast as you can see from the pic that it is certainly not scrambled, maybe the chef should google it first, also just only 1 slice of toast with this is not enough for the price, didnt fill me up at all

Good food Reasonably priced Fast service Heaps of seating and a fantastic view

We sat on the promenade overlooking Rawai Beach and enjoyed our lunch at Salaloy. We ordered a spicy seafood dish and a yellow noodle chicken dish. Unfortunately they brought us out yellow noodle seafood, not chicken. The waitress was going to change it but we decided we would eat it. Both dishes were very good, the spicy seafood probably the better of the two. We shared a home made ice cream to finish. Our meal came to almost 500 baht, a fair price considering the location. Salaloy is well worth a visit.

Dishes were so delicious that we visited here twice. Staffs are friendly and attentive. Highly recommended.

One of the best restaurants on Rawai Beach. Recommended by Michelin Guide. Prices are just like everywhere and well worth the quality. Most of the dishes are delivered ridiculously fast, almost instantly to your table. Very delicious food. View is breathtaking. I had a pleasurable experience every single time here.

The view and atmosphere are the major draws here. Food quality was acceptable but not memorable - unlike many other places along this strip of Rawai beach. The Tom yum gung was the best on our menu

Ordered the banana flower salad, Phuket noodle soup, and grilled squid, which are not the usual Thai staples, but we had a great meal. The Phuket noodle soup looks unassuming but it was absolutely delicious. Would totally return just for it. The banana flower salad had good flavors but they added too much seasoning and it was too intense. Would probably go well with some glass noodles or rice to water down the seasoning. Grilled squid was well grilled - nice flavor and not too tough. Sauce was good too. The restaurant was busy even though we came pretty late in the evening. Saw that they take reservations so that might be a good idea to avoid waiting.

Decent Beachfront restaurant with very good service and delicious authentic Thai food. Give it a try if you are in Rawai and you would like to eat Thai food. I will be back :)

Nice seaview, but food was a big let down, all looked nice and its fresh but lack of thai taste in all dishes unfortunately. They gave us chipped plates, staff did not care. Thank you 🙏😎

Certainly serve Google highest rate by the moment i wrote this review. Very affordable and tasty 👍 recommended

Been coming here for more than a dozen times. Never failed. You have to see the skills of the waiters carrying 2 big trays of food coming from the kitchen across the road, they never drop anything.

One of the best restaurant in rawai Phuket !! Please try their red curry deeep fried fish . The price was also reasonable .

The best thai food in the rawai beach area. Had 3 dinners there in a week and everything was delicious. Fast food delivery and nice staff. Worth every bath paid

Nice place to be. Delicious and fresh food. Specialized on seafood 🦞! Really nice and tasty selection of Thai food. It’s a must if you come to RAWAI!

Great place to grab a bite on the water. It’s Michelin recommended. I just stopped in for an appetizer and a beer. Miang kham is a rather simple dish so the presentation of it in the shot glasses was a cute difference, though I wasn’t sure the logistics of how I was supposed to take them lol. There’s an option for indoor or outdoor seating, across the street. The service on the water side was a bit slow.

Had 2 great dinners here, the fried tentacles in garlic was just so good I had to get it again. Fresh whole steamed fish with chilli and the fried fish curry were incredible. Very welcoming and friendly staff. Awesome value and nice relaxed vibes compared to some of the other more hectic fish restaurants near the market.

Very cool place with very tasty food. The seating is right on the ocean, while the restaurant is across the street so the waiter has to cross the road to bring you your food (I thought it was hilarious and unique). The food itself is absolutely delicious, I had the papaya salad with salted egg, fried rice with vegetables, and the Michelin recommend deep-fried Sillago fish with turmeric powder which was incredible. I especially liked the sweet and spicy sauce the fish came with. The service was kind and fast. They were attentive to my milk allergy and ensured me no dish I ordered has dairy in it. Overall great restaurant with fair prices, definitely give this place a go if you're in the area.

Loved it! Ate outside at night, which was really nice and peaceful. We had the fried garlic pepper fish, mussels with thai herbs, vegetable fried rice and watermelon shake - every dish was top notch and super delicious! Would order the same meal again and again. The service was very quick, attentive and friendly - top place on Phuket and worth the extra distance to visit

I purchased a Yam khai dhao, I don't think it was on the menu as I got some funny looks and they thought it was funny, however it was delicious, along with manau soda and a beer it was great, some view as well

I got a bacon cheeseburger and a medium size fries. I eat a lot of hamburgers, (I'm from Midwest USA) and this was extremely good. It was huge and perfectly cooked. I was so full I couldn't finish my fries. Impressive!

Worth a visit if you are burgers lover. Thai food was also good, but not so large choice.

Ordered the bacon cheeseburger, did not disappoint. Burger was cooked to perfection and the overall package really blended in well with the cheese and veggies. Love the mayo aoli sauce that came with the fries. Might want to consider taking the small sized fries for 2 people.

Amazing burgers here. I had the Bacon Cheese Burger and that one was really good. Their cheese wouldn’t be my first choice but I guess that’s will depend on everyone’s taste. Will come again

One of the best burgers in the area. Indulge yourself with their wonderful burgers. highly recommended. Small and cozy place. Always busy. Plenty of parking.

Green Tamarind Kitchen is my favorite Thai vegetarian compatible in the Nai Harn area. A Pad Thai and a Papaya Salad are enough for two when you wanna eat light. Just request no fish oil in your food when you are ordering.

*5 stars for the burgers, for me easily the best - not even close - in the South of Phuket. Genuinely charcoaled grilled, good quality beef. Highly recommended for those days you just need some burger action. Can we just agree that bacon blue cheese is the pinnacle of burgers? The one here is served with caramelised onions. Yummy. Efficient staff, reasonable prices. If I had one gripe, it'd be that it's also a popular delivery option - and that does impact the ambience of dine in a little.

Green Tamarind Kitchen in Rawai impressed me with their Aussie Burger featuring beetroot. It was an absolute delight - juicy patty, fresh ingredients, and the unique addition of beetroot added a delicious twist. The flavors were harmonious, and it's clear that they pay attention to quality. The cozy atmosphere and friendly service made the dining experience even better. If you're in Rawai and craving a great burger, it is a fantastic choice. And then the curry, with seafood. It was really delicious and flavorful. I'll attach an image for you to check out. It's really mouth watering, isn't it?

Very delicious beef burger, fresh and juicy. Also very delicious chicken burger very big and tasty. Fries good.

Stumbled upon this hidden gem and wow, was I pleasantly surprised! Sure, the service might take a bit longer, but trust me, it's worth the wait. Hands down, one of the best burgers I've ever had - from the sauce to the beef, right down to the bread, everything was spot on. If you're a burger aficionado, this place is a must-visit!

Never in my life I had such a delicious burger. A large oven welcomed me and when I was asked how I would like my burger to be (raw, medium, well done), I knew this was going to be very good. Thank you for this good meal.

Great burger best I’ve tasted for a long time, onion ring perfect. My fiancé had Thai food and was very satisfied. My only small gripe was the small measure of wine. 4 stars is a little harsh so 4.8 would be more appropriate.

Strongly recommend this place. The food is great, it's Asian style but totally different from the majority of places in Phuket. Cocktails are amazingly good! The best thing about the place is the waiters. They not just serve you, they talk to you and make those conversations interesting! As a bonus, you can sing there and get a bottle of beer if everyone applause to your performance:₽

Rawai View Restaurant is a highly recommended spot for good food and stunning sea views in Rawai, Phuket. It's a great place to go on a special day, such as a romantic dinner or anniversary celebration.

A tucked away gem, you will not be disappointed spending time here with a cold drink and fantastic view. Absolutely stunning and unbeatable view of Rawai Beach with good elevation, shade and breeze on a warm day. Overlooking a charming quiet corner of the bay. Has 3 levels with the best views on top, but also having private access to its own sandy beach, complete with a rope swing beside the water. Atmosphere is phenomenal for a chill whilst enjoying the coast. Staff were fantastic. Food was good without being amazing. Was happy with everything, but felt Thai food was slightly westernised. If that's what you're after it's your lucky day. Pizzas were lovely from their real pizza oven.

Beautiful views across the bay, amazing cocktails and food that's another level. The staff are really lovely and it all just adds to the atmosphere. Our favourite restaurant in Phuket!

I recently had an incredible dining experience at Rawai View Cafe! The service was excellent, thanks to Tom who went above and beyond to make sure we had a wonderful time. Not only that, but the cocktails from Nott were also outstanding and very original. I highly recommend trying them out. The ambiance of the restaurant was fantastic, with a stunning view of the Rawai beach. Overall, it was a fantastic dining experience, and I would highly recommend Rawai View Cafe to anyone looking for a great meal with excellent service and delicious cocktails.

This place is incredible, food and drinks are very good. The waiter Peppy is very nice. This is a fish restaurant, but for those who do not like fish there is something to eat here. We ordered fish (sea bass with garlic), rice and chicken curry. Moreover, musicians perform here in the evening. I recommend this place to everyone.

My visit to Rawai View restaurant was a seafood lover's dream come true. The huge, juicy grilled prawns I had were a highlight of my dining experience. Cooked to perfection, they were bursting with flavor and succulence. The ambiance overlooking Rawai added to the charm, creating a memorable meal. If you're seeking delectable seafood in a picturesque setting, Rawai View is a must-visit.

Great service and the mango salad was light, delicious, and refreshing. They were out of the ingredients to make a few of the adult bevs, but the one I had was still really good. The tide was out so the view wasn’t as spectacular but was still a lovely and peaceful spot for a late lunch.

🇨🇦 Great service. Very good meal. Great view. Sewage creek below the restaurant is not a nice scene. Oh well! 🇨🇦

The restaurant is located right at the sea, with the most amazing view over Rawai beach. Service is good, but the food was honestly not worth the visit. I had a dish with salmon, avocado and eggs Benedict. The eggs benedict was clearly not freshly made, as it was all cold. One was like hard boiled and the other one was liquid as it should be on the inside, but all cold. The rice served was also cold. Actually the only thing that was perfect was the juice, the toasted bread with jam and butter. And the only thing warm, was the omelet that we specially ordered, so it was made for order. We paid almost 1300 for this meal. The food does not match the view. The food does not match the price. So one star is doe the staff kind and friendly, good service. And one star is for the view.

Amazing dinner with a beautiful view and lovely service, very hospitable!

Came for the view, left sorely underwhelmed and disappointed. I feel very sorry to write this review but I feel that it must be said. The tuna appetiser was not palatable (smelled fishy and strange combination of flavours) nor did it resemble the photographs, we were charged an extra 150 baht for a “larger” lobster which looked the exact same size as what was shown. Fortunately the grilled fish was tender and juicy, but alas, it was not enough to save the meal. It’s such a pity, as we have dined all over Phuket and this was the first meal that left us feeling very unsatisfied, and we expected quality for the price paid. I’d urge you to not go by the photos on their menu or you may be disappointed when the dishes arrive to your table. Perhaps, simply order drinks if you wish to enjoy the view. Our favourite part of the evening was the live musician who played the saxophone, he was wonderful!

Great atmosphere and a very nice spot it’s a bit pricey but overall a good place. Service is very friendly. Food is very tasty and drinks are very well done.

5 stars for this super restaurant: all the dishes which we tried were super tasty and cozy presented. Since we entered in the restaurant I was impressed just by seeing the dishes of other costumes table. The staff is friendly, polite and always smiling. Superb location out of the crowd and nice view. Thank you!

Rawai View is a beautiful cafe/bar overlooking Rawai Beach. There are wonderful views to be had and the restaurant has a wonderful old world ambience. We were excited to visit for breakfast after reading so many glowing reviews on Google. Sadly, the food that was presented was probably the worst breakfast we have ever had in Thailand! I ordered the Dutch Egg Benedict and my partner the garlic bread. The eggs Benedict were horrid. Hard egg yolks, watery flavourless hollandaise sauce and cheap 711 pressed ham on a chewy muffin. An absolute disgrace! Rawai View described the dish as "perfect poached eggs, savoury ham and velvety hollandaise on a toasted English muffin." The muck they served up was a million miles from their description. I understand it is not the easiest dish to prepare but if you are unable to supply the described dish then remove it from the menu. I brought it to the attention of the server and in fairness she did offer to provide me with another but I declined. My partners garlic bread was a cheap bread also, cheap ingredients here at premium prices. With a couple of drinks our total bill came to 610 baht, which included a 10% service charge of 56 baht. Whoever owns this establishment needs to retrain the cook or remove the Dutch Egg Benedict from the menu. What a disaster!

Absolute must try! Lobster with pomelo, grilled prawns and crispy batter-fried sea bass were all super fresh, big, bouncy and cooked to perfection. Very affordable- we spent under THB3000 for these 3 dishes and drinks. Place was very clean with sea view and attentive staff who helped add your sauce when its running low- lovely!

The food was very good. The manager is a little crazy but he is funny and friendly. The location is quite remote. The lobster was very good. Quite expensive for Thailand, around 1000 badh per person.

The food was pretty decent and there was quite a wide range of Thai food and Western food, so it caters to a broad audience. The service was great, but I found the portions small even though the prices, by Thai standards, were pretty steep. The restaurant was positioned nicely with a great view. The defining question would be...If I was in Phuket / Rawai, would I go there again? No, I wouldn't.

Though a beautiful spot for an early evening dinner, our meal was far beneath the expected standards. We’d eaten here six months before and enjoyed our evening but we weren’t overwhelmed. Tonight, our sea bass was over fried, dry and fairly tasteless. The salmon was small for the price, half well-done, dry and half medium rare with a rice side that was practically uncooked and barely palatable. The entire meal wasn’t for not as the shrimp cakes were some of the best that I’ve had in Thailand or elsewhere. As a whole, the ingredients seem fresh so there’s potential. Perhaps the chef was having an off night so we might be willing to come again in a few months in hopes that the kinks have been worked through.

Had 2 meals here during our week-long stay. Both super with really friendly service and great views as well. The best pad Thai.
