Ka
cape
Ka cape
is a popular stop for Thai travellers to the island. Located at the
extreme southwest of Chalong Bay. South of the point is Leam Ka Beach,
a sandy strip dotted with rocks and boulders. The extensive coral
reefs offshore make for interesting snorkeling mornings. Bungalows,
Thai food, and boat charters to the islands are available. Ka Cape
is 7 kms. west of Chalong Circle.
Phrom
Thep Cape
Situated between Rawai
and Nai Harn beaches, Phrom Thep Cape is a dramatic headland
that stretches out to sea at the southwest end of Phuket
Island. The cape has spectacular views of the small island
of Koh Kaew Yai and the Andaman Sea, and is a particularly
popular place to enjoy the sunset.
At the top is a shrine dedicated to Brahma, the Hindu
god of creation, whom the cape is named after. (Phra Phrom
is the Thai name for Brahma, laem means “cape”,
while thep means “god”). To get an even better
view, climb up a couple of flights of stairs to a raised platform
in the Golden Jubilee Lighthouse.
The lighthouse also contains a small nautical museum.The viewpoint
attracts a lot of tourists and locals at sunset, so if you want to
avoid the crowds consider going earlier in the day. There is an open-air
restaurant with fantastic views from the cape which can make for a
memorable dining experience.
Laem Phrom Thep is located between Rawai
and Nai Harn. Head south from Rawai for a couple of kilometres. There
is a large car park and quite a few souvenir shops so you won't miss
it. The road is steep and windy so take extra care, especially if
its wet.
Singh
Cape
Easily
accessible, only 1 km south of the entrance to Surin Beach, Singh
Cape is a small
white sandy beach on a curving bay, with rocky headlands at the foot
of forest-fringed cliffs. Singh Cape means Lion's Point in English,
however, there have never been any lions found in Thailand.
The name of Singh Cape
means Lion’s Point in English in this case, the mythical, stylized
lion of Chinese literature, not the African variety there have never
been any lions found in Thailand. The beach is in a small, curving
bay with rocky headlands at the foot of forest-fringed cliffs and
is among Phuket’s most beautiful. Located about 1 kms.
South of the entrance to Surin Beach. Look for signs indicating
the path down to the beach.
