Just off the due south of Phuket in that place are a pose out of modest islands such every bit Koh Bon, Koh Lon as well as Coral Island all of which get got beaches as well as some facilities as well as accommodation. We intend to see them all inward the future, peculiarly right away that nosotros get got institute a friendly longtail boat captain at Rawai Beach. You tin larn to all these islands from Rawai as well as volition get got to negotiate a cost for the boat trip. We get got meant to create this for ages, as well as get got vowed non to survive as well as hence lazy from right away on!
We took a trip to Rawai a few weeks ago. Weather was a chip greyness as well as some lite drizzle vicious during the trip, but the bounding main was pretty calm. We wanted to see Koh Kaew Yai which is solely nearly 1km due south of Phromthep Cape or nearly 4km yesteryear boat from Rawai Beach. The isle has a Buddha statue facing towards Phuket watching over the island. Aside from the statue nosotros did non know what to await on the island. On the agency dorsum to Rawai nosotros figured to halt at Koh Bon, which y'all tin run across from Rawai beach.
At Rawai nosotros parked the auto as well as called a mobile pose out written on a "Boat for Hire" sign. There are enough of them either longtail or speedboat. Mr Chin arrived shortly later on the telephone telephone as well as nosotros agreed to pay one m Baht for the furnish trip. We tin recommend Mr Chin - his mobile pose out is 081 6072427. Friendly guy. His boy came along to attention him amongst the boat.
It's non a long ride, took nearly xx minutes. There were some longtail boats out line-fishing betwixt Rawai as well as Phromthep. As nosotros approached Koh Kaew Yai the Buddha statue became clearer as well as nosotros could run across that we'd survive landing at a modest beach. You tin run across the place map at the bottom of the page.
Despite the calm bounding main in that place was a chip of bully at the beach. Getting out of a longtail is non ever the easiest of things for everyone when the boat is moving around. The piffling beach looked lovely, but in that place was a large as well as rather smelly pile of garbage waiting to greet us. This tin solely survive garbage from the Monks who alive on the island. Needs a build clean upwards for sure.
We climbed some rocks at the due north terminate of the beach where nosotros institute a shrine.
Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 path headed through the woods towards the large Buddha statue. We passed 1 of the Monks houses. Looks similar the Monks hither get got quite a uncomplicated life... which is how it should be, right? Actually nosotros had non known inward advance that Monks lived hither or nosotros would get got brought a donation of some kind.
The Buddha statue that y'all tin run across from Phromthep Cape is nearly five meters high standing on a platform over the rocks facing Phuket. I create similar Buddha statues. This 1 looks really serene. My piffling man child ever says his prayers. My immature adult woman is similarly fascinated yesteryear the Buddha images.
The bodies of two Naga (mythical snakes) current of air to a greater extent than or less the platform as well as heighten their heads inward front end of the Buddha looking out over the sea.
From the large Buddha, the path heads through the woods (lots of mozzies - accept some repellent!) to the due north tip of the isle where y'all notice a Chedi as well as some other shrine higher upwards some steep steps heading downwardly to the rocks. Even though I tell the bounding main was calm, the southwest bully was bashing on the rocks as well as y'all would non desire to autumn in. Some of the rocks looked a chip slippery. Not expert for a nervous parent!
If y'all tin accomplish the concluding slippery stone (my married adult woman did) in that place y'all notice the "footprint of the Buddha". Legend says that the Buddha visited Phuket as well as the isle of Koh Kaew Yai was where he laid out develop human foot earlier heading to the mainland at Rawai - the mention Rawai derives from Rao Wai, pregnant (something like) "we pay homage". It seems this piffling isle is a house for Monks to come upwards for brusk stays every bit it's a important house inward price of Buddhism. We stopped to verbalise to two Monks from Chiang Mai who were simply staying a few days. They did non similar the mosquitoes either. There was incense burning to a greater extent than or less their hut as well as they had a decent looking tent too!
There was to a greater extent than hither than nosotros expected! I had simply imagined the 1 large statue. The lite pelting did non halt us enjoying a chip of exploration. Certainly worth the visit. Other nearby islands are on our listing starting amongst Koh Bon, which is less than 2km from Rawai - y'all transcend it when heading to or from Koh Kaew Yai. We had planned to halt in that place on the agency back, but it was non beach weather... so, some other time. As nosotros left Koh Kaew Yai, a monk asked to hitch a ride dorsum to Rawai on our longtail...
