Promthep Cape or Promthep Cape is a famous observation deck and the southernmost part of Phuket Island, located between Rawai and Yanui beaches.
Promtep Cape does not end with an observation deck!
Promtep is also interesting monuments and sights; stunning views and a small hiking route leading to the very nose of the cape. The panoramic views that open from this observation deck are not as large-scale as, for example, the views that you can contemplate while standing near the Big Buddha or from the Karon Kata observation deck, but what you see from the Promthep undoubtedly deserves attention, since these are some of the brightest and most picturesque views in Phuket.
Conventionally, Promthep can be called a complex and divided into two levels: the upper one, where there is an area with monuments and sights, and the lower one, which actually represents Promthep Cape going into the sea.
Near the Promtep observation deck there is Parking, cafes, shops with drinks, ice cream, snacks, fruits and souvenirs, as well as a toilet.

On the one hand, Yanui Beach and partially Nai Harn Beach are visible, and from the sea side you can observe small islands and snow-white yachts calmly rocking on the waves.
If desired, you can see all this beauty through these binoculars installed around the perimeter of the site.
There are paths running through the territory, walking along which the same beautiful views open up to the eye, only a little from other angles.
After climbing the stairs, we go to the second platform of the Promthep - Phra Phrom Square (Phra Phrom Square).
The square is decorated with an altar, around which a large number of elephants of different sizes and colors are placed.
Also on the square there is a monument to the Prince of Thailand - Admiral Krom Luang Chumphon (Krom Luang Chumphon Monument) and a lighthouse building (Prompthep Cape Lighthouse). They say you can go inside the lighthouse, there is a museum there.
In addition to attractions, there are places to relax on this, the uppermost platform of Promtep Cape.
