Ao Patok

Ao Paток is the main bay on Koh Racha Yai, tucked between hills in a horseshoe shape with fine white sand and clear water. You anchor off here and come ashore to find resorts, restaurants, and cafés all within easy reach — it's the most developed and connected spot on the island. The sheltered shape of the bay keeps things calm and pretty, making it one of the most popular anchorages around Phuket.
