Thailand Huangdi Island Travel Guide

Speaking of Emperor Island in Thailand, we are all familiar with it. This is an island that we must visit when we come to Thailand for our holiday. The best place to visit 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

Lacha means "emperor" in the local area, because it was originally an exclusive island for Thai royal holidays, and it was only opened to the outside world after it was opened. Huangdi Island is very close to Phuket, and it takes half an hour by speedboat, so you don't have to get up early. It is the best choice for old people and children to play. Huangdi Island is small and has no scenic spots, but it has a complete original scenery. Only one tree was cut down and two trees were planted in the development process. Surrounded by rocks and dense forests, plus mountain scenery and inland lakes, there is pure and pollution-free seawater comparable to that of Maldives. The scenery on the island is diverse, especially quiet and beautiful. Empire Island consists of Rachael and Rachanoi.

Introduction of scenic spots

Dahuangdao

Not far from coral island, it usually forms a day trip with coral island. Dahuangdi Island has perfect service facilities, good light transmission and blue dreams. 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. It's simply not 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 fish swimming in the coral 5 meters deep at the bottom of the sea. This is an excellent diving place comparable to Smilan. However, due to the influence of tide and wind direction, it is not possible to visit Little Emperor Island every day.

Grand Emperor Island Beach

There are five small beaches in Dida Island, with Tel Bay and La Bay in the east, Gongjiale Bay in the southeast corner, Patock Bay in the west and Siam Bay in the north.

Tel Bay Beach has the most beautiful scenery and will be used as the dock on the island during the rainy season. Snorkeling is safe here, and starfish and eels can be seen in the deep sea.

There is also a small sunken ship and motorcycle about 20 meters underwater. KonKore Bay is a rocky beach. The water here is crystal clear, with plenty of fish and small waves, 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.

There are diving spots in Patock Bay and Siam Bay, so many people floating on the sea can be seen on the beach.

Snorkeling

Snorkeling is the best form of entertainment in Huangdi Island, because there are reefs and coral reefs everywhere, the water temperature is suitable (the water temperature is kept above 28 degrees) and the water quality is good. Each diving spot has a different scenery. As long as you put on a mask and float on the sea, you can have a super beautiful underwater world on Imperial 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 move freely around you, and you will be in close contact with all kinds of fish.

The most suitable beach for snorkeling is KonKare Bay. 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 step on rocks when snorkeling, because there are shells on them, which are easy to scratch. One should pay attention to the warning flag on the beach when snorkeling. Red means you can't go to sea, and yellow means you can go to sea if you are good at swimming. Huangdi Island, in particular, is prone to drowning from May to June, 165438+ 10 every year. It is best to wear a life jacket when playing at the seaside, and stay away from the reef area when snorkeling or swimming to ensure your own safety.

dive deep

Emperor Island can also go deep diving, because you need a diving license, 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 Raya Diving Center and China Diving Center. The most attractive thing about the deep diving of Emperor Island is the excellent opportunity to see the shocking spectacle of "Sea Wolf Storm" and 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 cannot participate in deep diving, and people under 12 and over 50 cannot participate in the experience.

Other raiders information

Huangdidao accommodation

There are four hotels on the island, which are RachaHotel, RayaburiResort, BanrayaResort and bungalow rayaResort in descending order of star rating and price. Ruisha Hotel is the only five-star hotel on the island, with a price of more than RMB 1000. Rayaburi resort is only about half, and there are sea view rooms and garden view rooms. In addition, the prices of both hotels are below RMB in 300 yuan, and the beach where Banlaya Resort is located is the best diving place.

Huangdidao restaurant

Consumption on Emperor Island is generally high, but there is a crossroads between Patock Bay and Siam Bay. There are many local restaurants here, and the prices are not expensive. 200-300 baht per person can eat enough. Besides, drinks on the island are very expensive. If you are thirsty, I suggest buying coconut on the island. Big and delicious. Recommend a durian ice cream shop. Although the price is not cheap, it is more cost-effective to buy two meatballs, 10 yuan, including durian meat. Don't be too satisfied.

There is also a cliff restaurant on the island, which provides buffet and a la carte menu. 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 environment is superb and the view is invincible. 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. Breakfast is a buffet with a mediocre taste. Father's restaurant is close to Layaburi, but it is not as delicious as the legend says. All the dishes taste of the sea, and I'm 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 is only a short wet period. 165438+ 10 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 have fine sand and 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 change into a swimsuit in advance.

3. The toilet charges 30 baht, and the lounge charges 100 baht. You can put things to take up space without spending money repeatedly.

4. One-day underwater camera rental can be provided around 40 yuan, the snorkeling center on the island. You need to mortgage the original passport and bring your own SD card.

5. don't do the tail area when going back and forth by speedboat, because this is the most easy place to splash water. It is recommended to bring a raincoat or wear a swimsuit directly. The sea to Huangdi Island is rough and it is easy to get seasick. It is recommended to take seasickness medicine in advance.

6. Although Huangdi Island has activity centers such as snorkeling and deep diving, Phuket is recommended to book in advance because of its high price. If you have a diving card, be sure to bring it, and the price will be much cheaper. It is best to bring bread, which can 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, everyone, collect this information and have a good trip to Huangdi Island! I wish you all a pleasant journey!
