The most beautiful place for breakfast or dinner in Phuket 😍🌄
(Samet Nangshe Viewpoint) is one of those places in Thailand that will literally take your breath away. It's not just a viewpoint, but a true natural landmark worth the trip.
The viewpoint is located in Phang Nga Province, on the peninsula between Phuket and Krabi. It's famous for its panoramic views of the limestone karst cliffs of Phang Nga Bay, which seem to float in the morning haze. This view is especially magical at sunrise.
Imagine: dozens of whimsical green islands rising from flat, mirror-like water, while the first rays of sunlight paint the sky in shades of orange, pink, and gold. It's a sight you'll remember for a lifetime.
Viewpoint (Samet Nangshe Viewpoint)
Key feature: View from the top of a hill. Reaching the very top requires a climb. There are two options: walking up the stairs (about 10-15 minutes, requires some physical fitness) or taking a special pick-up shuttle for a small fee.
· Best time to visit:
· Sunrise (around 5:30 - 6:30 am) is an absolute must-have. Most tourists and photographers come here for the morning light and mist. The view of the sunrise over Phang Nga Bay is truly magical.
· Sunset is also very beautiful, but morning light is considered more flattering for photographs.
· What to bring: Comfortable shoes, water, mosquito repellent (especially early morning and evening), a camera, and, if you're climbing at sunrise, a flashlight.
Restaurant and Bungalow (Samet Nangshe Boutique)
Near the viewpoint is Samet Nangshe Boutique, a complex that includes:
1. Restaurant: The restaurant is located on a terrace right on the cliff, so you can enjoy stunning views of the bay while having breakfast or dinner. The cuisine is primarily Thai, delicious and fresh. Trying local coffee and traditional dishes while gazing at such beauty is a special treat.
2. Bungalow: For those who want to fully immerse themselves in the atmosphere and avoid the hassle of traveling overnight, there's the option of staying overnight. Bungalows come in varying levels of comfort, from simple to more modern. The main advantage is that you can wake up 15 minutes before dawn and be among the first to reach the viewpoint.
Practical Information for Visiting
Location: Phang Nga Province, approximately 1.5 - 2 hours' drive from Phuket.
How to get there:
By rented transport (the most convenient option): Rent a scooter or car. GPS coordinates: 8.3167, 98.5272. The road is good, but the last section is a dirt road.

Summary
Samet Nangshe Viewpoint is a place for nature lovers, photographers, and those seeking a truly authentic and unforgettable experience in Thailand. This is not a glamorous resort, but a corner of wild, unspoiled beauty.
Tip: If you have the opportunity, be sure to stay in a bungalow for one night to see the sunrise without the hassle and bustle. This is the experience worth visiting Southern Thailand for.
I hope you have the opportunity to see this beauty with your own eyes.
