Ka cape
Ka cape is a popular stop for Thai travellers to the island.
Located at the extreme southwest of Chalong Bay. South
of the point is Leam Ka Beach, a sandy strip dotted with
rocks and boulders. The extensive coral reefs offshore
make for interesting snorkeling mornings. Bungalows, Thai
food, and boat charters to the islands are available.
Ka Cape is 7 kms. west of Chalong Circle.
Phrom Thep Cape
"Phrom" is Thai for Hindu "Brahma"signifying
purity, as "Thep" means 'God'. Phromthep is
a headland stretching into the sea and forming the extreme
south-end of Phuket. It has been prominent feature for
mariners since of early seafarers from the sub-continent,
remains of whose journey's have been found all along the
Malay-peninsula's west coast.
The cape has tall cliffs on the south, and was formerly
called by local villagers "Leam Jao" (The Gods'
Cape). From the cliffs running down to the boulders at
the sea is a line of palm trees. Emerald green currents
swirl in the deep water and breakers hurl themselves in
vain against the rocky point : it is one of Phuket 's
most inspiring vistas. From Promthep Cape, which is the
most beautiful place to catch Phuket's famous sunset,
a road leads northwest to Nai Han Beach.
