✍️ Editor’s Note

“Racha Island (Racha Yai) has the best underwater visibility around Phuket. If you are interested in underwater photography, capturing ‘light refractions’ here turns into an art. If you take a short walk towards the interior of the island after lunch, you might have the chance to see giant monitor lizards in their natural habitat!”

✨ Urban Legends and Mysteries

The Legend of the Sea Gypsies (Moken): The Moken people living in Phuket and surrounding islands believe they can talk to the spirit of the sea. According to legend, before the 2004 tsunami, the sea gypsies sensed the disaster by listening to the sound of the sea and took refuge on high hills without a single loss. According to them, the waters of Racha are kept clean by protective spirits.
