Driving from Karon to Chalong yesterday and I realised I really look forward to the vista you get from the top of Chalong hill.

As you crest the hill, the bay is spread out before you with boats, small ships and islands set on a lovely coloured sea.

As you go down the hill and curve to the left the view expands to allow you to see all of Chalong and up to Phuket town,

 

Just stunning.

 

Drive from Rawai to Patong after about 8pm along the coast road and the many squid boats off the coast with their ultra bright green flourescent lights are a view I've never seen anywhere else.

 

What are your favourites around the island?

Khao Kad on Cape Panwa is right up there, where it's the viewpoint from the road looking over Ao Chalong and Koh Lon, or further up at the views tower with its 360 degrees outlook over the island.

Phuket has so many viewpoints, that I don't even bother operating a drone, unless just for a selfie, while at a viewpoint.  Since already up there myself, I don't need the 'added' perspective with the drone.

 

I think Khao Kad was the latest one I explored for the first time during Covid and surprised I never made it over there before.

 

So many boats docked/anchored in the bay.  And no tourist at the time.

A nice view from the Lao temple over at Sirey.
