Watching the Spring Festival Gala at Racha Island

Transportation: Rayabuli offers free hotel speedboat transfers, directly from Phuket's Chalong Pier to the hotel beach, which needs to be booked via email after booking the hotel. Once on the island, you can rent a two-wheel motorcycle (500 pearls/day) and a four-wheel beach car (1000 pearls/hour). The hotel is very large, having a vehicle will be much more convenient, but most of the roads within the hotel are covered with sand, motorcycles are not easy to drive, it takes about 10 minutes to walk to the neighboring hotel, the Racha. Beach: I spent almost every day on the beach during my four days at the hotel, quietly listening to the waves hitting the beach, my gaze from near to far, the blue from shallow to deep, there is a kind of blue called Similan, the sand at the neighboring the Racha is more delicate, but at Rayabuli, you can enjoy the leisure of the clear waves and white sand. Snorkeling: The hotel's long coastline provides excellent conditions for snorkeling, but you need to walk 100 meters into the sea to gradually find the feeling of playing with the fish and coral. Even if you walk far out, the water won't be too deep, at this time, looking back, the buildings on the coastline are scattered, embraced by the crescent-shaped bay, and behind is a towering volcano, at this moment, I feel like I have walked into 'Uncharted Waters'. Accommodation: As a hotel opened in 2009, some of the room facilities are a bit old, the air conditioning sometimes drips water , but the decoration style is what I like. The TV is very big, but it's all in Thai, I can't understand it, and I failed to cast my phone screen, so I watched the Spring Festival Gala on the beach on New Year's Eve. Catering: Overall, it's slightly lower than Shanghai CBD, but the taste is really duck-like. I chose the neighboring SUNSET for the New Year's Eve dinner, it's indeed a place that costs 4,000-5,000+ per night in the peak season, the experience is really different on the same island. It should be noted that non-hotel guests can sit after 20:30, and swimming suits are not allowed. Exploration on the island: I rode to the dive center, deep diving is 1500/person/45 minutes, you can go down with a coach without a diving certificate, snorkeling is also a good place to go. I originally wanted to stroll around the island, but with cow dung all over the ground and lizards running around, plus the navigation is not very effective, I finally bought a delicious durian-flavored ice cream at the hotel supermarket and lay down comfortably. Overall evaluation: The public area of the hotel is very large, maintaining the original rustic taste. Many places are still under repair, I hope that one day when I return here, everything will be better!
