Sunsets at Promthep Cape

Promthep Cape seems to be an irresistible spot for a good old sunset photo at the very south of Phuket island, not far from Nai Harn Beach on the way to Rawai Beach. This landmark has always been a daily meeting point for hundreds tourists to line up with a camera facing west. Colourful buses download hordes of tourists hungry for a sunset picture, and the place starts buzzing with flashes. It’s also funny to see how many people still take sunset photos with a flash! With its elevated location and a few small islands nearby, the Promthep Cape is a nice place to admire the sunset, but it is not always impressive. Watching the crowd is almost more entertaining: most people are texting or playing Facebook games while waiting for the six o’clock moment.
