Keys sites / activities in the area
Phuket Old Town: Built on the riches from the glory days of the island’s tin boom, this quarter of town glows with personality and history, from the Chinese-colonial mansions to the shrines, temples, cafés and museums.
Promthep Cape and Lighthouse: On the extreme south end of Phuket. Local villagers used to refer to the cape as Laem Chao, or the God’s Cape, and it was an easily recognisable landmark for the early seafarers travelling up the Malay Peninsula from the sub-continent.
Big Buddha: The 45-meter-tall white marble statue on top of the Nakkerd Hills between Chalong and Kata can be seen from as far away as Phuket Town and Karon Beach. The site offers perhaps the most breath-taking 360-degree views of the island.
