Ao Rawai is really an extension of Rawai Beach. It is not a bathing beach, but used very much by locals who moor fishing boats here. Ao Rawai is just east of Prom Thep Cape (Laem Phrom Thep) and south of Friendship beach at the southern end of Phuket.

Rawi Bach has good views of Koh Bon, Koh He (Coral Island), Koh Lon and Koh Aeo islands, with Koh Racha Yai in the distance.

Car: Ao Rawai is 21km south of Mueang Phuket (Phuket Town) on the 4024 and about 17km south of Patong and Patong Beach.
