The hull cuts through a bright morning sea and the island silhouettes grow sharper—limestone slopes and sugar-white beaches rising from turquoise water. From Phuket the speedboat pushes south toward Racha Yai (Racha Yai) and then east to Coral Island, trading the bustle of Patong for reefs that dare you to look closer.

History
These islands have long been small‑scale fishing grounds; tourism expansion in the late 20th century turned them into day‑trip destinations while local communities still rely on fishing and small hospitality businesses.
Conservation
Coral health is vulnerable to boat anchoring and sunscreen runoff—operators increasingly use mooring buoys and encourage reef‑safe products to reduce local impact.

No flying within 12 hours of diving
