Bon Island, Phuket (near Rawai)

Bon Island (or Koh Bon) is located just south of Rawai Beach in Phuket and is just a short longtail boat ride away. A few sandy beaches pepper the coast of this tiny island, and despite being so close to Phuket, it is not too busy with tourists.

There are only two real beaches on Koh Bon (‘Koh’ means island in Thai). The first beach was once the landing spot of the now-closed Evason Resort Phuket, and the second beach is the hideaway of Bon Island Restaurant. The island is not as impressive as Coral Island or Similan island, but it is so close to Phuket island that it’s a fun escape for lunch.

Life on Bon Island is like a slice of heaven, with a small white sandy beach, palm trees swaying in the summer breeze and little clouds gently drifting in a bright blue sky. Every day, enough customers cross to the island to enjoy delicious pepper prawns (280 baht) or Tamarin prawns (also 280 Baht), and all seems to be idyllic and perfect.
