Phrom Thep Cape
Phrom
stretching into the sea and forming the extreme south-end of Phuket. It has been prominent feature for
mariners since of early seafarers from the sub-continent, remains of whose journey's have been found
all along the Malay-peninsula's west coast. From Rawai Beach turn right and go for 2 kms. The cape has
tall cliffs on the south, and was formerly called by local villagers "Leam Jao" (The Gods' Cape). From the
cliffs running down to the boulders at the sea is a line of palm trees. Emerald green currents swirl in the
deep water and breakers hurl themselves in vain against the rocky point : it is one of Phuket 's most inspiring
vistas. From Promthep Cape, which is the most beautiful place to catch Phuket's famous sunset, a road leads
northwest to Nai Han Beach.
