SUNSET SERENITY EXPERIENCING DUSK AT LAEM PHROMTHEP


Leam Phromthep

You won't be alone, but that won't matter once you scan the 270 degrees of Andaman Sea, noticing how elegantly it arcs around the cape below, where local fishermen cast into the waves from the jutting rocks. thailand accommodation phuket,hotels in phuket thailand
     OK, so you're not the type of traveller used to mingling with tour buses. We get it. But this time you'll make an exception. Because there's a reason the luxe buses line the road at the Leam Phromthep lookout point at around 6 pm. With the possible exception of the Big Buddha, this is the best place to watch the sunset. Take it from the crowds, most of whom are Thai tourists. They spill onto the concrete platform, make offerings to the fantastic elephant shrine and climb to the top deck of the modern lighthouse shaped like a crab.
     But if you really crave privacy, there's another option. Follow the handful of locals who walk down the fishermen's trail that hugs the ridge and ends on the rocks just a few metres above the sea. Although it looks like a thin srtand from above, the peninsula-the island's true southernmost point - spreads out quite nicely,and you will easily find a nook of your own.thailand accommodation phuket,hotels in phuket thailand
