Racha Ya and Racha Noi
Racha Yai and Racha Noi Dive Sites are two islands to the south of Phuket. They are both in the Phuket province and are allowable to Phuket Sandbox tourists.
Loosely translated, Racha is the Thai word for “King”, Yai translates to “Big” and Noi to “Little”. So we have the Big King and Little King Islands.
The islands will provide the best scuba diving allowable for those who are restricted to the Sandbox regulations.
Their waters are generally clear and there is an abundance of marine life to see there and Racha Yai is also the home of the Harruby Wreck.
Marine Life
The has some wonderful marine life including the docile and lovable Leopard Sharks, turtles, stingrays, octopus, eels, cuttlefish, some beautiful reef fish and barracuda.
