Koh Rang Yai is a small-scale uninhabited isle close 5km off the eastward coast of Phuket, featuring a kilometer of sandy beach on the due west side alongside views dorsum to the mainland. There is a restaurant, a footling bar in addition to I believe some bungalows, I'm going to stimulate got to become over again to check, but I am certain that they stimulate got some uncomplicated bungalows for rent. The isle is a footling piece of paradise. Really. It's every bit unopen to unspoiled every bit you lot tin sack arrive this business office of the world.
To attain Koh Rang Yai, you lot tin sack see every bit business office of a tour or accept a longtail boat from Laem Hin jetty, adjacent to Laem Hin Seafood (a favourite restaurant). On the way, you lot operate yesteryear Koh Maphrao, a much bigger isle which is basically total of kokosnoot trees (Maphrao = coconut), has a line-fishing hamlet in addition to a resort called The Village which opened a few years ago. I'm tempted to mass us inwards at that spot for a black erstwhile soon! There are also some floating restaurants.
We've been at that spot a few times over the years, the showtime fourth dimension inwards 2006 alongside our kids in addition to my parents. The parents were dorsum over again terminal yr in addition to did a footling trip to Koh Rang Yai over again subsequently a tasty dejeuner at Bang Mud Seafood, which is 1 of the floating restaurants at Coconut Island. That showtime fourth dimension I retrieve nosotros paid 800 Baht for the longtail boat, I gauge it would last to a greater extent than now, but non also much more. I mean, there's non much there, ideal to chill on a lovely beach, but non much to do! I retrieve the kids would dearest to become dorsum in addition to actually it's a gorgeous place...
I am quite amazed that a huge resort has non been built at that spot yet. Doesn't appear to stimulate got changed much over the years. The 2nd fourth dimension I visited was inwards 2010, a swell solar daytime out on my birthday - the possessor of Sunrise Divers bought a cool sporty speedboat to purpose every bit a charter boat in addition to nosotros headed to Koh Rang Yai to exercise some promotional photography alongside Helicam...
The photograph higher upward is yesteryear Helicam - the footling helicopter alongside attached photographic telly camera was beingness flown yesteryear Phil (one of the owners) chasing the speedboat - they'd never tried doing actually depression score materials similar this before. And that's Koh Rang Yai inwards the background! They got some swell shots. In the dorsum of the speedboat is me taking photos in addition to Phil controlling the helicopter. The lensman is also inwards the speedboat - he gets a alive icon from the helicam in addition to takes photos yesteryear remote control. Amazing stuff! Some of the photos I took tin sack last institute on the weblog - run across Speedboats in addition to Helicam at Rang Yai Island. You tin sack "park" a speedboat or longtail boat easily at the beach ...
Rang Yai was inwards my hear over again late - nosotros did a speedboat tour correct around Phuket Island inwards 2013, a chip of an experimental tour yesteryear my friends at Easy Day Thailand. We did a total circumnavigation of Phuket, alongside several stops on the way, the showtime halt beingness at Koh Rang Yai in addition to to last honest I retrieve nosotros would stimulate got been happy to remain at that spot all day! The give-and-take "paradise" is rather overused, but anyway ....
Certainly fun for all the family. We stopped close 1 sixty minutes on the island. There is something close bluish seas, white sand, palm trees, a mutual frigidness beer that makes you lot desire to remain a while. We'd stocked a few beers on H2O ice inwards the speedboat. I saw that at that spot is a bar at that spot yesteryear the beach. I know that at that spot is a small-scale restaurant, but on that terminal see inwards 2010 nosotros institute the eating theatre to last somewhat overpriced, charging something similar 200 Baht for a fried rice. If nosotros become over again soon, we're taking a picnic! Not certain what the bar charged for a beer, but sometimes whatever toll is OK for a mutual frigidness beer on a perfect solar daytime :)
Oh yeh, natural springtime for joy! When nosotros stopped on that trip, at that spot were close 10 other boats in addition to almost all the tourists from those boats had taken upward seat on the same 100 meter stretch of sand or inwards the shade of the trees behind the beach. If you lot walk 100m, you lot larn a perfect beach to yourself. Same goes inwards many tourist areas. 90% of tourists inwards the same 10% of space. Take the route less traveled! I mean, but yesteryear heading to Koh Rang Yai you lot lose 99% of the tourists who are happily sitting on Patong beach or 1 of the other primary beaches. And in addition to thus walk 100m in addition to you lot lose 90% of the remaining 1%. Get it? Hope so.
Inland from the beach, aside from the previously mentioned bungalows (I think), eating theatre in addition to bar, there's a shop, in addition to and thus some trails through the kokosnoot trees. You tin sack rent a bicycle in addition to ride around or but accept a walk every bit nosotros did. Yeh, non much to see, but sometimes that's great. Palm trees, nature, sand, sea, the hot tropical air. That'll do!

Not a bad footling place! I retrieve we'll last dorsum over again soon. The eastward coast of Phuket has a lot of small-scale islands. It sounds variety of obvious but the best means to run across Phuket isle is yesteryear boat!
