Khao Rang Viewpoint
With sweeping views of Phuket Town and wide expanses of green ideal for picnics,
the top of
Rang Hill
is one of Phuket's most relaxing places to spend an afternoon.
People come here to exercise or read a book. Others enjoy the restaurants with mag-
nificent views and the island's best iced coffee. The bronze statue of a former Phuket
governor stands near the viewpoint.
Phang Nga Bay
Verdant limestone cliffs jut up from this bay, creating a dramatic backdrop with ex-
cellent photo opportunities. James Bond Island features one of the most popular of
these majestic rock formations. But since it often gets crowded, look for full-day sea
canoe journeys through less crowded aquatic grottoes and cavernous tunnels (For
further details see
Phang Nga Bay
).
Khao Sok National Park
Beautiful lakes, thrilling caves, and limestone
cliffs are interspersed with ancient evergreen
trees in this virgin forest north of Phuket. Home
to a diverse population of wildlife, as well as rare
tree species,
Khao Sok
offers some of the best
trekking, canoeing, and safaris in southern Thai-
land.
