What y'all tin honor at that topographic point inwards profusion are modest beachside restaurants amongst foot-high tables on the beach, generally no to a greater extent than than shacks selling grilled fish, crab, chicken. You sit down on a mat on the flooring together with swallow elementary nutrient yesteryear the sea. There used to live on only a few of these places a few years back, straightaway one-half the beach is covered inwards them. When nosotros stopped on Lord's Day it was really busy too..mostly local people. In fact I don't recall I saw a unusual face. There are another restaurants some which conduct maintain discovered chairs together with tables together with the foreigners create tend to swallow at these. But for a local gustatory modality - sit down on the floor! Also y'all honor a fair publish of modest bars together with proficient dining yesteryear the beach such every bit the long-popular Nikitas Bar, a British owned bar/restaurant which has been at that topographic point since earlier fourth dimension began!

Aside from the restaurants y'all tin honor multitudes of boats at Rawai - y'all tin rent boats hither to Koh Lone, Koh Bon, Koh He (Coral Island), Racha Yai together with more. We create intend to depository fiscal establishment gibe out Koh Bon i day, together with I recall the boats hither volition accept people circular to Koh Kaew also - a modest isle off Phromthep Cape amongst a golden Buddha on the beach. (update 2013 - yes, nosotros did this trip a few years agone : Boat from Rawai beach to Koh Kaew Yai / Buddha Island)
At the far eastward halt of the beach y'all honor a piffling line-fishing community amongst a daily marketplace selling fresh fish together with prawns. There are also some "touristy" stalls selling shells together with other such souvenirs of the sea. The marketplace is modest but gives an thought of the former mode of life. Phuket nevertheless has many line-fishing communities some the coast despite the tourism that has taken over many of the western beaches. We bought some fish together with I took a few photos.
