About Promthep Cape
A headland at the very south of Phuket and the island's classic sunset spot. From its elevated lookout the sun sets over the Andaman Sea behind a scatter of small islands. It is free and open at any hour; around sunset it fills with tour buses and hundreds of visitors, so earlier in the day is calmer.
Also known as Laem Promthep, Phromthep Cape
