Promthep Cape

Promthep Cape is one of the most photographed and celebrated landmarks in Phuket. Perched at the southernmost tip of the island, it’s a must-see stop for sightseeing tours and photography lovers alike. Despite its popularity — it’s often included in tour operators’ itineraries — the walk down to the very tip of the cape remains surprisingly peaceful. The path is not particularly difficult, offering a rewarding sense of escape and panoramic beauty for those who take the short trek.

​

Because of its fame, the site is well developed: you’ll find a restaurant serving Thai and seafood dishes with spectacular sunset views, as well as souvenir shops and stalls selling local snacks, coconuts, and cold drinks. A small lighthouse at the viewpoint also houses a modest maritime museum and offers another elevated spot for photos.
