Little King Island or Ko Racha Noi are the two loosely connected most southern islands about five kilometres south of Koh Racha Yai. It are two uninhabited islands that are considered to have the best diving available in Thailand besides the Similans, Hin Muang and Hin Daeng dive sites. They are thirty kilometers from Phuket, reached by live aboard tours, daytrips and snorkelling boats. The best diving is found at its eastern side which can be accessed during Monsoon time from May-October while its western side is only available from October to May; so you can dive here year around in all sorts of weather.

Racha Noi is famous for its giant boulders, granite rock formations and rugged underwater landscape. Its shores are surrounded with deep waters, excellent visibilities, white sand and large numbers of vibrant colourful reef fish. Often strong currents have made these islands famous for its many encounters with pelagic, sharks and manta rays.
