7 Scenic Walking Areas in Phuket That You Shouldn't Miss
Thailand’s largest island is an international magnet for beach lovers and serious divers, who enthusiastically submerge themselves in the Andaman Sea. Blue lagoons and salmon sunsets make for a dream-like atmosphere, and indeed, a vacation here can feel a bit surreal. Watersports are the most popular activities, though once you’ve had enough sun there’s still plenty to explore at the island’s aquariums, gardens, and Buddhist temples.

Khao Khad Viewpoint Tower We hired a moped during our stay in Panwa Beach and decided to explore the local area. We came across Khao Khad Viewpoint Tower and were amazed by the 360 degree view that it offered from one of the highest points in the area. There are 136 steps to reach the top so this isn’t for those who have difficulties with mobility and there is no lift. However, it is truly worth the effort. You can easily see Khao Khad Bay, Panwa Cape, the ‘Big Buddha’ and much more... We went early in the morning but I can imagine that the views would be equally beautiful at sunset. There is a bar serving food and drinks on the site which we also stopped at. In summary, a great place to experience the amazing views of the local area and would highly recommend.

If you're coming to Phuket you probably don't want to miss out on exploring and walking through the streets of old town Phuket. Some nice eateries, and interesting architecture. A couple very nice Chinese Temples. worth spending a couple of days in old town, for sure.

Black Rock Viewpoint is without doubt, the best high vantage view point on Phuket Island. What is rather ironic is that it looks out over the islands most famous sunset viewing location, Cape Prom Thep. As hundreds gather almost daily to watch the sun sinking on the western horizon they’re blissfully unaware of a much better viewing location, with very few sightseers, on a hill high above them. This is because Cape Prom Thep is a mainstream tourist destination which is set up to cater for hordes of visitors each day and the tour companies have no knowledge of alternative locations. To get to BLACK ROCK VIEW POINT, continue on the dirt track from NUI BEACH. From the checkpoint at the top of the track down to NUI BEACH you’ll see a fork to the left which goes uphill. Follow that and approx. 500 meters further on you’ll eventually come to a large rock with the Thai words “PA HIN DUM” painted on it, and an arrow pointing directly across the road to where the hiking trail starts. Park your bike/vehicle here and take the trail to the viewpoint. The trail is short but quite rough in places with jagged rocks so it’s advisable to wear decent footwear; more so for the hike back out. The view when you get there is quite spectacular. There is a safe viewing area at the very top and a few meters lower, another viewing area which gives a better angle to the western coastline. NOTE: If you decide to go down to the lower viewing area take extreme caution as there’s a sloping rock surface which drops away precipitously. One slip and you’ll tumble more than 100 meters to the bottom. If you go to watch the sunset it’s advisable to take a flashlight with you for the hike down. The thick foliage on the trail will quickly reduce visibility. Without a flashlight you’re at risk of a fall from the many trip hazards along the way in the dark.
