Phrom Thep
Cape
 |
Promthep Cape is a windswept promontory that juts into the
Andaman Sea at the southernmost tip of Phuket. Also written
Phrom Thep Cape or Laem Promthep, it is regarded as one of the
most beautiful spots in Phuket. The view here is certainly
breathtaking, especially during sunset. Depending on the time of
the year, the tall grass at Promthep Cape may change from
verdant green to golden brown. |
One of the most
photographed sights in Phuket is Phromthep Cape, a high ridge of land
above a sharp peninsula jutting out into the Andaman Sea. It's
deliciously windy up here plus there's a lot to see.
A huge collection of wooden and stone elephants of every shape and
colour surrounds a shrine to the god Brahma and to the side is a
lighthouse with views out over the south of the island and some islands
just off the coast.
From here we can see just how green Phuket is – contrast that with the
bright turquoise of the sea and you'll know why so many people love
coming here.
