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.
