# Phi Phi Islands
Phi Phi Island is Thailand’s island-superstar. It’s been in the movies. It’s the topic of conversation for travelers all over Thailand. For some, it’s the only reason to touchdown in Phuket. Even with all the hype, it doesn’t disappoint. Phi Phi’s beauty is a large chunk of the allure. The islands, when approached by boat, rise from the sea like a fortress. Sheer cliffs tower overhead, and give way to beach-fronted jungle. It is indeed love at first sight. The second part is the attitude of this great island few places on the planet are this laid-back. Phiphi Islands has 6 Islands and its just 40 minutes away from Phuket. Travellers can enjoy a tour on speed boat to have a view of these Islands. You can take part in some diving, snorkeling and other water activities and there are also great restaurants where you can have a feel and taste of the exquisite Thailand’s cuisines.
# Similan Islands
This comprises of Islands with striking features, at first glance, are the huge boulders that litter the western and southern shores on several of the islands. It also has beautiful white coral-sand beaches, splendidly picturesque and often deserted. The most interesting sights, however, are to be found beneath the waves. Some of the most spectacular coral growths in the world can be found here – and the same boulders that scatter the shores have turned the waters around the Similans into an adventure playground for divers. The islands are home to crab-eating monkeys, dusky langurs, squirrels, bats, lizards and a good variety of birds (though the monkeys are shy and rarely seen by the casual observer).On the west side of the islands, currents have kept the formations clear of sand and on the coral-covered sandy slopes of the east side; the boulders have been largely buried.
# Raya Islands
Raya Island also referred to as Racha Islands is some 25km south of Phuket, with two lovely islands which are known for excellent diving and snorkeling options. They are indeed great daytrip destinations. The first Island is Racha Yai, which is fast developing into a place to stay on for a while with a number of bungalow and resort operations that have sprung up in recent years. It reveals itself in splendid fashion, with most arrivals landing onto a strip of fine white sand tucked deep into the long, U-shaped main bay, called Ao Tawan Tok or Ao Bungalow. The water here is clear and perfect for snorkelling, though the bay gets quite busy with visiting boats in the afternoons. Raya Island is home to The Racha, a splendid gateway resort. The other large bay, Ao Siam, is a pretty place where lonely strolls in solitude are possible. Racha Noi is the second Island. Though uninhabited and has no services or accommodation, it is a great diving in the area where you can enjoy the most of your Phuket tour.
