Rawai Beach
Is
a favored picnic spot for Thais who flock to the seafood stalls
sitting under the trees that shade this narrow but picturesque
bay. The beach is not so great but the water is shallow and safe
for children and it is protected from the wind. There are many
longtail boats and speed boats anchored here that you can hire
to make trips to the nearby islands. Try to find one with life
jackets because when the wind picks up the seas can become quite
rough.
Many foreigners live in this area because of
its tranquility, therefore you will find many types of cuisine
mainly located all along the beach road, and even some popular
trendy restaurant like "Mimi's" a bit inland. Lately
a beautiful resort opened on the hill overlook Rawai Bay: the
Mangosteen
Resort with nice and cozy individual bungalows.
Not far is the famous Promphthep Cape, very popular
among local because of its point of view offering beautiful sunset
from a high point.
