Thailand Huangdi Island Travel Guide

Speaking of Emperor Island in Thailand, we are all familiar with it. This is an island that we must plan to visit when we come to Thailand for our holiday. The best way to play here is diving. So, if you want to visit here, Bian Xiao will share the tourist information of Emperor Island with you today!

Brief introduction of emperor island

Racha means "emperor" in the local area, because it was originally an exclusive island for Thai royal holidays, but it was only later opened that the island was opened to the outside world. Emperor Island is very close to Phuket, and it can be reached by speedboat for half an hour, so there is no need to get up early, so it is the best choice for the elderly and children to play. Huangdi Island is small and has no scenic spots, but the island maintains a complete original scenery. During the development, only one tree was cut down and two trees were planted. Surrounded by rocks and dense forests, coupled with the composition of mountain scenery and inland lakes, as well as pure and pollution-free seawater comparable to Maldives, the island's scenery is diverse, especially quiet and beautiful. Emperor Island consists of Rachael and Rachanoi.

Introduction of scenic spots

Dahuangdi island

Not far from coral island, it usually forms a day trip with coral island. Dahuangdi Island has perfect service facilities, which not only has good seawater transparency, but also has fantastic blue color. There are many colorful coral reefs and fish on the seabed, which are very suitable for snorkeling. The most beautiful is the beach on the island, soft and white as flour, shining in the sun. Don't be too beautiful

Xiaohuangdi island

It's very remote here, and there are few boats to go, so the island is very quiet. The beach here is very small, and the coral reefs in the surrounding waters are well preserved. All kinds of marine life live here, such as long-tailed sharks, black-finned sharks, stingrays, giant devil rays and other rare creatures can be seen here.

The sea is clearer and bluer than the Great Emperor Island. From the boat, you can see the fish swimming in the coral 5 meters deep under the sea, so it is an excellent diving place comparable to Similan. However, due to the influence of tide and wind direction, Little Emperor Island can't go every day.

Grand Emperor Island Beach

There are five Little Beach in Grand Emperor Island, two beaches in the east, TerBay and LhaBay, KonKareBay Beach in the southeast corner, PatokBay Beach in the west and SiamBay Beach in the north.

Terbay beach has the most beautiful scenery and will be used as a pier on the island during the rainy season. Snorkeling here is very safe, and starfish and moray eels can be seen in the depths of the sea.

There is also a small sunken ship and motorcycle about 20 meters underwater. KonKoreBay is a rocky beach, where the sea is crystal clear and the fish are plentiful and the waves are small, which is suitable for deep diving. But because of rip current, don't bring children here to play even if the sea is not deep.

PatokBay and SiamBay have diving spots, so many people can be seen floating on the sea on the beach.

Snorkeling

The best entertainment way of Huangdi Island is snorkeling, because there are reefs and coral reefs everywhere, and the water temperature is suitable (the water temperature is kept above 28 degrees, and the water quality is also very good. Each dive site sees a different scenery. As long as you put on a mask and float on the sea, you can see the beautiful underwater world of Huangdi Island.

The fish here are also very lively and not afraid of people at all. Even if they sprinkle a handful of sand, they will gather in front of you, they will shuttle freely around you, and you will be in close contact with all kinds of fish.

The most suitable beach for snorkeling is KonKareBay. It is recommended to snorkel at noon, when the visibility of seawater is the highest and the scenery is the most beautiful.

Pay attention to sun protection when snorkeling, because it is easy to get sunburned. Don't touch or trample on the rocks when snorkeling, because there are shells on them, which are easy to be scratched. When snorkeling alone, pay attention to the warning flag on the beach. Red means you can't go to sea, and yellow means you can go to sea if you are good at swimming. Pay special attention to the fact that Huangdi Island is prone to drowning from May to165438+10 every year. It is best to wear a life jacket when playing at the seaside. When snorkeling or swimming, be sure to stay away from the reef area to ensure your own safety.

dive deep

Emperor Island can also go deep diving, because you need a diving license to do it, so you must sign up for diving experience activities and let the coach take you deep diving. The famous diving centers on the island are RayaDiveCenter and China Diving Center. The most attractive thing about diving in Huangdi Island is that there is a great opportunity to see the shocking spectacle of the "sea wolf storm", as well as the rare marine life such as manta rays, eagle rays, turtles and sea rabbits.

However, it takes at least 12 hours to fly after deep diving, and 18 hours to dive more than twice. People who are unwell or sick can't participate in deep diving,/kloc-people under 0/2 and over 50 can't participate in the experience.

Other Raiders Information Huangdi Island Accommodation

There are four hotels on the island, which are theRachaHotel, RayaburiResort, BanrayaResort and BungalowRayaResort in descending order of star rating and price. Rachahotel is the only five-star hotel on the island, with a price exceeding 1000 RMB. RayaburiResort is only about half, and there are sea view rooms and garden view rooms to choose from. The other two are below RMB in 300 yuan, and the beach where BanrayaResort is located is the best diving spot.

Huangdidao restaurant

Consumption on Emperor Island is generally expensive, but there is a crossroads between PatokBay and SiamBay. There are many local restaurants here, and the prices are not expensive. The average person can eat 200-300 baht. Besides, drinks on the island are very expensive. I suggest you go to the island to buy coconuts when you are thirsty. It's big and delicious. I recommend durian ice cream shop. Although the price is not cheap, it is more cost-effective to buy two meatballs, about 10 yuan, with durian meat in them. Don't be too satisfied.

There is also a cliff restaurant on the island, with buffet and a la carte. Buffet can't sit on the edge of the cliff, but the dishes are quite rich, including fried noodles, fried rice, seafood and vegetables. The restaurant has an excellent environment and an invincible view. After dinner, take a path leading to the mountain in the restaurant, and you can reach the viewpoint, which is the best sightseeing spot on Emperor Island overlooking the beach. What is not recommended is the restaurant of BANRAYA Hotel, where the breakfast is buffet and the taste is very general. Thefather's restaurant near RayaBuri is not as delicious as the legend says. All the dishes have the taste of the sea, and they are not used to it.

Optimal travel time

Huangdi Island is rainy from May to September every year, especially in May, when it rains almost every day. October only gets wet in a short time. 1 1 from April to April of the following year, the weather is a little cold, which is the best time to travel.

Matters needing attention

1, some beaches in Huangdi Island are not fine with stones. It is recommended to bring floating diving shoes.

There is no place to change clothes for free on the island, so it is recommended to put on a swimsuit in advance.

3. The toilet charges 30 baht, and the lounge chair 100 baht. If you can put things in your room, you don't have to pay twice.

4. The snorkeling center on the island can provide underwater cameras for rent. For about one day in 40 yuan, you need the original passport as collateral and bring your own SD card.

Never do the tail area when going back and forth by speedboat, because it is the most easily splashed by water. It is recommended to bring a raincoat or wear a swimsuit directly. Because the sea to Huangdi Island is very rough, it is easy to get seasick, so it is recommended to take seasickness medicine in advance.

6. Although there are activity centers such as snorkeling and deep diving on Emperor Island, it is recommended to book in advance in Phuket because of the higher price. If you have a diving card, be sure to bring it with you, and the price will be much cheaper. It's best to bring bread to attract small fish when snorkeling.

Suitable for people: tourists who like diving and have high requirements for water quality.

Time by boat: 40 minutes for the great emperor and 90 minutes for the little emperor.

Ok, let's collect this information and have a good trip here in Huangdi Island! I wish you all a pleasant journey!
