Enjoying the laid-back atmosphere of Rawai means choosing from several outstanding tour options in this southern Phuket community. I’m especially impressed with Rush On’s self-guided tours – they’re perfect for independent travelers who want to explore at their own pace. The 5-hour Phuket City Tour stands out for its efficient coverage of local cultural sites, while the evening Sunset and Seafood Market tour combines two must-do experiences: watching the sun dip below Phromthep Cape and sampling fresh catches at the Sea Gypsies Fish Market. Let’s explore these top tour choices in detail.
