![]() But I rate safety pretty high when my family is involved. I know travelling is all about experience. Also fins are necessary to protect you from dangerous marine life. Then we are told thre are no fins supplied for tour only our masks and snorkel. Arrive at meeting place for the all day pre paid snorkelling tour. 20 minute wait for two immaculately dressed and prepared young guests. Speedy minibus until we get to another hotel. My rating will say what I think but you my friends will make up your mind. I don't like to give a poor review because everyone's thoughts are different. ![]() If you are deciding a day trip, I would suggest that one does Phi Phi first and if time permits, do Raya as well. Phi Phi has few areas where one can find peace and be away from the crowds and throbbing night life (areas where hotels like Holiday Inn is situated). ![]() Raya island gets really crowded during the day (cause of the day trippers) and so does Phi Phi. Raya island is more for the people who want a relaxing & peaceful time and Phi Phi is more for the people who want to party. All types of accommodations are available on both the islands (limited in Raya). Overall: Raya island is primarily for the day trippers and Phi Phi is more for backpackers. You just had get into the water and leave some fish food at your side to see all those colorful fishes. We never really had to use the snorkeling gear as the water was so clear and the fishes were plenty. The waters are much more inviting at Kon Kae bay and there are many more fishes here. Snorkeling: The snorkeling experience in Kon Kae bay of Raya Island was way superior to the experience I had in Maya bay of Phi Phi island. It’s more fun swimming in the Patok beach as the water is slightly clearer and there are better waves as well. The breath of the Loh ladum beach is pretty small 2. However Patok beach does score above Phi Phi beach with regards to the following points 1. Water sports available here which is absent on Patok beach The Patok beach has one beach shack and a 5 star hotel in its immediate vicinity 4. There are beach shacks lined up throughout the Loh ladum beach. Walking on the sands of the Loh ladum beach was amazing 3. ![]() The sand is much finer and softer than that of Raya. The backdrop of Loh ladum beach is more scenic 2. The beaches of both the islands are beautiful but I personally liked the Loh ladum beach better. The Beach: This is a comparison between Patok beach (Raya) and Loh ladum beach (Phi Phi) which are both the main beaches of their respective islands. It takes a longer time to reach Phi Phi (1 hr in speedboat and over 2 hrs in a ferry) than to reach Raya (half an hour in Speedboat). Phi Phi has a night life which is absent on Raya island. There is much more activity to do in Phi Phi (water sports, Kayaking to neighboring islands, shopping etc) than on Raya. Phi Phi is much more commercialized than Raya. The landscape of Phi Phi is much prettier than Raya as it has more hillocks/limestone cliffs and a better lush green cover than Raya. Koh Racha Yai has only 2 beaches as compared to around 6 beaches in Koh Phi Phi Don. The main island of Phi Phi is Koh Phi Phi Don and Koh Racha Yai is the main island of Raya. The Island: Raya Island is smaller than Phi Phi islands. ![]() People who are deciding whether to go to Phi Phi or Raya island can read the below comparison to chose their pick. ![]()
