THAILAND: Promthep Cape

PHUKET, THAILAND

Promthep Cape is a small rocky hill in the southern tip of Phuket Island. The locals say that this is the perfect 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  Promthem Cape to enjoy the relaxing ambiance of the setting sun before having dinner at his place.

Tourists from all over

The sun in Promthep Cape is notoriously known for causing sun burns but on the day we went, the sun was mellow and weak. The clouds were thick but, fortunately, there was no rain. In spite of that, I still got to take some lovely photos, thank god. 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 of work.  It was obvious, though, that people go there only for the sunset. Everyone seemed to disappear with the sun.

That's where I want to go next...

Take me away!

I'll stop the world and melt with you.
