Racha Bay is one of the jewels on the West Coast of Phuket. A white sandy beach is framed by coral. I even got into the water, it was just wonderful. There is a first class resort here, developed after the Tsunami of 2005 as well as lower budgeted bungalows. Once again many day trippers come here, beach umbrellas bound the beach awaiting them to arrive.
I celebrated my 54 birthday here (really 56, but have decided I'm going backwards from here on in, looking down at 60 is rather frightening...) We had a lovely dinner at the Resort Restaurant and a bottle of champagne when we returned to Keris.
There were quite a few yachts etc anchored but none were any we knew, though there were a few Aussie boats.
We returned to Ao Chalong on the 24th January.
