THINGS TO SEE

Promhep CapePHROMTHEP CAPE
Phuket’s most stunning vista
A promontory stretching into the sea and forming the farthest south end of Phuket, Phromthep Cape is one of the island’s most inspiring vistas.  The cape has tall cliffs on the south. From the cliffs running down to the boulders at the sea is a line of palm trees. Emerald green currents swirl in the deep water and breakers hurl themselves in vain against the rocky point. The cape, located approximately two kilometers from Rawai Beach, is especially crowded in the evening, as it is a popular place to watch a spectacular sunset.

This is the official epository of ancient Phuket artifacts, especially those from the battle of Thalang where the island’s two famous heroines fought. Open daily (except on public holidays) from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., it is located not far from the Two Heroines’ Monument on Pa Khlok Road. Call 076-311-025 for more information.
