Rawai is a fishing village on the southern coast of Phuket, where a long beach runs alongside seafood restaurants and the local fish market. The pace is slower than on the busy beaches of Patong, and the village has the feel of a working coastal community rather than a resort strip. The seafront, the market and the pier are all within a small area, so the village is easy to explore on foot.

Nai Harn Beach, 1.3 km away, is a calm bay with Nai Harn Lake behind it, and Big Buddha, 6 km away, is a large white statue on a hilltop above the island. Chaithararam Temple (Wat Chalong), 8.3 km away, is one of the most revered temples on Phuket, while Patong Beach, 12.8 km away, is the island's main nightlife area. Phuket International Airport is about 37.5 km away.

A day could start at the Rawai fish market, continue with a swim at Nai Harn, and end with a visit to Wat Chalong, where the temple grounds and the chedi make a good place to spend the afternoon. Rawai Pier, the ferry terminal close by, is where boats leave for the islands nearby, and the neighbouring beaches of Kata and Karon, on the same coast, are easy to reach from here.
