About Khao Khad View Tower
A tall tower on a remote hilltop above Cape Panwa, reached by a steep road and about 200 steps. The round viewing room at the top takes in most of the island — Phuket Town and Kathu, Chalong and the Big Buddha, Koh Siray and the small islands of Ao Yon Bay. Entry is free and it is rarely busy.
Also known as Khao Kad View Tower, Panwa Viewpoint
