In case you are going on a packaged tour – it should already be in your itinerary but in case it isn’t, do ask your provider for it.

Tips to the Traveler :

1) There’s plenty of parking at the Karon Viewpoint and it’s on the road between Kata and Nai Harn beach. Kata itself is just a ten-minute drive away and it’s the same distance to Nai Harn so a taxi or tuk tuk doesn’t cost too much.

2) There’s a place to get food and a gazebo with tables and chairs in the shade, but prices are high and options are limited, so you might want to bring your own food and water.

3) As with any beautiful spot, it is the crowd that spoils the experience too. Tour buses line up the lane to the viewpoint and hoards of tourists gather around to snap a few photos. So use your skill and click good pictures in the crowd or come again in the evening after watching sunset when this place is less crowded.

4) The view to the north of the lookout is where you’ll snap the idyllic picture of Phuket, with the Andaman Sea lapping at white sanded beaches and little islands castaway off the shore.
