Promthep Cape

Promthep Cape is a small, rocky hill in the southern tip of Phuket Island. The locals say this is the best sunset viewpoint in Phuket. I went here with my good friend Mon who is a well-established local and future business tycoon in Thailand. Whenever Mon has guests, he brings them to Promthep Cape to enjoy the relaxing ambiance of the setting sun before having dinner at his place.

The sun in Promthep Cape is notorious for causing sun burns but on the day we went, the sun was mellow. The clouds were thick but no rain. I’m glad I still got to take lovely photos despite the weather. There were couples seated on the ledge of the viewing area at the highest point of the hill. They all seemed lost in each other's presence, making the most of their quality time after a hard day at work. People go there only for the sunset as everyone seemed to disappear as soon as the sun was gone.
