เกี่ยวกับรัษฎา
Ratsada is the subdistrict that wraps round Phuket City on the north and east, in Mueang Phuket district, with a subdistrict municipality of its own. The council puts it at about 38 km², with its office some 3 km north of the district office and the sea along its eastern side. By the zone map it borders Talat Yai, Talat Nuea, Kathu, Ko Kaeo and Wichit.
Two hills rise between Ratsada and the old town: Khao Rang, with its viewpoint, hillside restaurants and golden Buddha, and Khao To Sae, Monkey Hill, where macaques wait along the road. To the east a short bridge crosses to Ko Siray, an island with an Urak Lawoi sea-people village, a hilltop temple with a reclining Buddha and resorts on its east coast.
Much of the rest is suburb: housing estates and townhouses along the bypass and Thep Kasattri roads, Phuket Rajabhat University, the Mission Hospital and the island's largest hypermarkets at Samkong. Rassada Pier, Phuket's main ferry terminal for Phi Phi, Krabi and Ko Lanta, bears the subdistrict's name.

รัษฎาสำหรับครอบครัวที่มีเด็ก
Ratsada is a suburb for daily life near town rather than a holiday base: housing estates, hospitals and hypermarkets, with the hills and Ko Siray for weekend outings.
- The Mission Hospital has doctors on call around the clock.
- Lotus's Samkong has a children's section and opens at 07:00.
- On Monkey Hill and Khao Rang, keep small children close and food out of sight: the macaques grab.
- Rassada Pier is the start for day trips to Phi Phi.
การเดินทางไปรัษฎาและที่จอดรถ
- จากสนามบิน โดยรถยนต์
- 30–45 นาที
- จากป่าตอง รวมเวลารถติด
- 25–40 นาที
- จากตัวเมืองภูเก็ต
- 5–15 นาที
Ratsada surrounds Phuket Town on the north and east, so most of it is 5 to 15 minutes from the old town. Smart Bus route 2 and the airport bus pass through it, and the roads to Rassada Pier and Ko Siray run east from town.
- รถยนต์: The bypass and Thep Kasattri roads cross the subdistrict; Rassada Pier has a large car park for day-trippers.
- ภูเก็ตสมาร์ทบัส: Route 2, Bus Terminal 1 to Patong, stops at Chillva Market and Lotus's Samkong: hourly 06:00 to 20:00, 50 THB (2026).
- รถโดยสารประจำทาง: The orange airport bus stops at Rang Hill on its way to Bus Terminal 1 (2026).
- Grab และแท็กซี่: Easy to find in and around town; ferry tickets often include a minivan pickup from the hotel.
- รถจักรยานยนต์: Good for the hills and Ko Siray; mind the macaques when you park on Khao Rang.
ที่จอดรถ: Rassada Pier has a large car park. Khao Rang has a car park at the top, shared with the macaques; Ko Siray has roadside space.
ใครจะชอบรัษฎา และใครจะไม่ชอบ

- Walkers: the steep roads up Khao Rang and Monkey Hill.

จะไม่ชอบ
- Swimmers: Ko Siray has little beach for swimming, and the west-coast beaches are 30 minutes or more away.
- Nightlife seekers: evenings here are for restaurants; Patong is over the hill.
