Brief characteristics of the island
Koh Racha Noi is an island located about 20 kilometers south of Phuket, Thailand.
It is one of the two islands that make up the Racha Island group, the other being Koh Racha Yai.
The island is rocky – with beaches formed by the accumulation of coral stones.
The waters around Koh Racha Noi are emerald green and rich in fish: ideal for fishing, but not for swimming.
The island, with its diverse, including unique coral reefs, is an object of study for divers from all corners of the world. Important: the eastern and western parts of the island are suitable for divers of all levels, while the southern and northern parts (due to strong currents) are suitable only for advanced divers.
On Koh Racha Noi there are no hotels, roads and cars, only beaches, palm trees and coral reefs.

Distance and travel time from Chalong Pier
In a straight line it is about 37 km (20 nautical miles) from Chalong Pier to Koh Racha Noi. This is an approximate straight-line distance, not an exact navigational figure — the actual route on the water is always somewhat longer.
For a motor yacht, a crossing of this length typically takes about 1–1.5 hours, depending on the yacht, the weather and the state of the sea. The departure pier is also chosen to suit the route and the vessel, so we confirm the exact timing and departure point when planning your trip.
When planning a longer day on the water, this trip is often combined with Koh Racha Yai or the Racha Islands overview.
