Best view of Phuket town

Khao Rang (Rang Hill) is one of Phuket’s most famous viewpoints. Located to the northwest of the city centre, its summit offers views out over the town, to the south of the island, neighbouring islands and along the hills forming the ‘spine’ of the island, upon which sits the impressive Phuket Big Buddha. At the top of the hill, you'll find a nicely landscaped park with children’s playground, 3 restaurants and bars, a fitness park, and a panoramic terrace. Rang Hill has 2 main roads leading up: one from Yaowarat Road by Vachira Hospital and the other from the east-west connecting Mae Luan Road. Along Soi Vachira, leading from the hospital, you’ll come across Phuket’s first sitting Buddha, a large golden image in Wat Khao Rang. Both roads leading up the hill are a good workout if you decide to walk but they’re well-shaded and quite cool, as is the crest of the hill.
