About 10 years ago a group of friends were walking through the forest in the Nakkerd Hills between Chalong and Kata when they stumbled upon a place with stunning vistas of both sides of the island – Chalong Bay lay in one direction while on the other they looked down over Kata and the Andaman Sea. It would, they thought, make a perfect place for a viewpoint – something that could become as well known as Phuket’s favourite sunset viewpoint, at Laem Phromthep.

Book the ferry over to Phi Phi Island and spend a day and night before heading back to Phuket (ferry schedules make it difficult to do just a day trip). Home of much of the scenery for the movie The Beach, Phi Phi is a real tropical wonderland.
