Emperor Island is 12 kilometers south of Phuket, and the speedboat takes about 30 to 40 minutes. This is the most worth visiting a paradise-like island, a holy place for snorkeling. The island not only has beautiful and complete natural tropical island scenery, but also the coastal scenery of the coral reef is also unforgettable. Due to the late development, the number of tourists here is relatively small. Compared with the noisy Phuket, the beach environment here is particularly quiet. There is no hustle and bustle. Retaining the original ecological island scenery, the main entertainment on the island is snorkeling, here reefs and corals are all over, there are many kinds of fish, the sea is very transparent, showing a transparent gem blue, naked eyes can see the 500 meters deep seabed, really beautiful.

    Jelly sea, well-deserved, worth seeing! It happened that the environment was not good, and Chinese tourists were less than half! Usually can receive nearly 50 people on the boat, this trip is actually less than 30 people! But the experience has come up a lot!

    [View] The sea of Emperor Island is really invincible. The sea is clear, the environment is beautiful, and the most important thing is that there are really few people! I can live a real holiday here, lying on the beach every day to bask in the sun, listening to the waves beat the sea, there is no more pleasant life than this. [Fun] The underwater world of Emperor Island is very rich, and the coral reefs are also very well protected. You can see many fishes and colorful big cockroaches when you snorkel. [Cost-effective] The boat journey from Phuket to Emperor Island is about 30-40 minutes, which is acceptable. The three hotels on the island are not expensive in the non-peak season, and the price of the peak season is reasonable, which is a very cost-effective resort.

    Very beautiful place, the sea is clear, suitable for deep dives and snorkeling, because with the children, we rented two fans and 4 lounge chairs, (400 baht) watching the blue sky and blue sea, listening to the waves, drinking fresh coconut juice (100 baht), and playing with the children in the shallow sea area, the children are very happy. Very good place worth going

    On Emperor Island, I highly recommend staying overnight, and I was too rushed for a day. I booked Raaburi's room before, so I saw Trip.com This is a hotel parking and lunch. At about 8:15 in the morning, wait for the driver to pick up the car in the lobby of the Patong Hotel. It takes more than 30 minutes to go to the dock waiting place and wait for the tour guide to confirm. The luggage was taken on behalf of someone who boarded the ship first, like a plane, and there was no need to worry. About ten o'clock, take another car to the pier, get on the boat to wet feet, must wear slippers. Half an hour trip to the island, Abryboan is the beach, not the official public pier on the island. Disembarkation is not only the feet, but even the clothes will be wet. Then according to the arrangement of the tour guide, go to the snorkeling and deep dive to get the needs, there are cars to pick up and drop off. What is not diving is to move freely on the beach of the hotel. This beach seems to only receive one or two boats, so few people are comfortable. Eat at the hotel at noon, each table for six people, there are fried rice fried noodles fried vegetables meatball soup and fruit, not difficult to eat, clean, barely full, anyway, meat is very small. One day oil in the afternoon, I traveled on the beach, and the tour guide gathered at 2:30 to prepare for the return trip. We stayed at lunch and took the ferry ticket directly. At 2:30 the next day, the hotel arranged a car to take us to the public pier and other tour guides. Before the island, all baths and toilets are charged per time, 40 baths, 20 toilets, 200 umbrellas, free after check-in until the next day. I rent a motorcycle on the island to surf everywhere, 300 plants for half a day, 600 a day, the island is not big, you can ask people if you get lost, don't run around at night. You can go to the beach of Lacha Hotel. We went the next morning. It was so beautiful. We also packed the beach. It was more beautiful and finer than the beach of Abry. Dinner and the next afternoon were solved in the hotel restaurant. The guests were 10% off and the products were all available. It was a little bit expensive in Patong, but it felt great against an invincible sea view. Walked through other restaurants on the island, there are several close to the public pier, and it feels like eating for the tour group. On both sides of the road, the environment is very general. The hotel lobby is right by the beach, next to a small store, there are everything to eat and drink ice cream smoke, each about ten more expensive than Patong, I feel very conscience. The water on the island is salty and very original. Tips are generally 50 per adult, and the return boat will remind everyone. We stayed overnight, thinking that the next day was the same tour guide, so the trip did not give, no wonder on the first day he tried to tell us to go to the beach at two o'clock for refreshments (cookies, coffee, fruit), it turned out to be like this. The next day, I waited for the tour guide at the pier. I came to the other woman who was on the day trip. The attitude was also very good. The trip only sent water. The return boat had frozen soda, ice towels and fruit. Originally, she said that the tip for the overnight trip could be considered, but we still gave 50 plants per person. If you are staying overnight, it is best to split it equally between two tour guides. A few pictures are attached, the first few are Raaburi, the hotel lobby, and then the beach of Lacha, and then a original ecology, don't be afraid, don't climb to people

    The biggest highlight of this trip to the sea, the sea is super clear, everything can be seen on the seabed of ten meters, there are many corals on the small beach of Xiaohuangdao, and there are many small fish colorful underwater. I am not afraid of people at all. The children are super happy. The beach of the Great Emperor Island has a reef to swim in and see a lot of big Some fish, several half-meter long grouper, super cool, basically an aquarium, but there are many jellyfish in our snorkeling place, be careful, several people in a row have been stung. In short, it is worth traveling.

    Emperor Island is 12 kilometers away in the south of Phuket, and the speedboat takes about30-40 minutes. Compared with other popular or not-so-popular attractions in Phuket, Emperor Island is a very new face. Not only are there beautiful and complete natural tropical island scenery, the coastal scenery of the coral reef is also unforgettable. Due to the late development, the number of tourists here is relatively small, compared with the noisy Phuket, the environment of the beach here is particularly quiet, there are only sporadic swimmers, surfing enthusiasts and the sound of the waves from the ears, it is simply a paradise! Bird's Nest Cave is located on Phuket's small Phi Phi Le, surrounded by cliffs, the terrain is dangerous, so there is little smoke. There are several huge limestone caves on the island, and many beautiful stalactites hang from the cave. Some cave walls are also engraved with murals of prehistoric humans, elephants, ships, etc. It is said that these caves were formerly the nests of Andaman pirates, so they were called "pirate caves", and because there were many sea swallows in the cave, the bird's nest was also known as "bird nest caves". It is popular to say that this is a big hole, no swallows. But the sea is still blue, the sea water here is clear and the bottom can be seen, as if you can touch the bottom of the sea as soon as you reach out. Under the reflection of the sun, it shines. Opposite the bird's nest hole is the green water of Biluwan Natural Swimming Pool ..., you can see the bottom all at once, it is beautiful and beautiful! ...
