21. Monkey Mountain

At the top there is an observation deck from which the entire Old Town is visible.
22. Bang Pae Waterfall
A small lake at the foot of the Bang Pae waterfall in the Khao Phra Teo National Park in Phuket
One of the largest and most beautiful waterfalls on the island, 15 meters high. The attraction is also famous due to the fact that there is a monkey receiver on its square.

23. Sirinat National Park

Sunbathing and swimming in the purest water, you can watch the local tropics – they are located in close proximity to the beach line. There are cafes and bars on site that serve Mediterranean and Thai cuisines. A visit to Nai Harn is especially recommended for those who want to go sailing. There is a yacht club on the beach.

25. Bang Tao Beach

A vast area of more than seven kilometers long is covered with golden sand. In the south of the beach line, the tourist infrastructure is quite well developed: there are stalls, cafes and restaurants with national cuisine. Getting to the south of Bang Tao is more difficult, and therefore this part is not so visited by vacationers. In the center you can find natural reservoirs: the sea and lakes are connected by small channels.
26. Karon Beach
Karon Beach – one of the busiest beaches in Phuket Somkid Chotisawang
One of the most visited and famous beaches in the province, several kilometers long. This is where the best hotels in Phuket are located. Be prepared for the fact that you will not be able to retire here. The entire central part of Karon is very crowded literally at any time of the year. But if your main goal on vacation is dating, fun and entertainment, you should definitely come to Karon.
27. Kata Beach

The beach line stretches along the coral reef. Many travelers and Thais say that it is on Kata that you can find the cleanest sea. The area is a huge success with surfers, as the winds blow continuously here in summer and autumn. The beach can be recommended both to fans of active entertainment on the water, and to calm couples with children. In the immediate vicinity of Kata, many luxury hotels have been built, from the panoramic windows of the rooms of which you can see the endless sea.
28. Karon Viewpoint
Stunningly beautiful view of the coast of Phuket from the observation deck Karon
An excellent viewing platform with a gazebo for relaxation, which by the middle of the day is filled with tourists and locals. Due to its “crowdedness”, a visit is recommended in the morning or before sunset. Is it worth it then to visit Karon if you can’t spend time calmly here? Yes, because it is from here that you can see the most beautiful sunset: the sun sets over the sea horizon.
29. Rang Hill Viewpoint
Panorama of the capital of Phuket Island from the observation deck Rang Hill
A wonderful place to relax with a cozy square and an open-air cafe can be found within Old Phuket. The territory offers incredible panoramas of the Andaman Sea and Chalong. On the way to the site, you will meet monkeys that are calm about people and are not averse to talking with them.
30. Windmill Viewpoint
Windmill sites to the beach and the small island of Koh Man off Prom Thep Cape
Not the most famous, however, noteworthy site, from which several beaches and a deserted island are visible. There are inexpensive cafes with fast food and gazebos for relaxation on the territory.
31. Prom Thep Cape
Amazing view of the Andaman Sea and Prom Thep Cape – the southernmost point Phuket Islands
According to many guides, the best way to view the entire island is from this well-located headland. There is a small Buddhist temple on Prom Thep with ritual figures, touching which you can make any wish, and it will certainly come true. And also an ancient lighthouse.
