A secret viewpoint in Phuket

Geо (Kata)

Bet you haven’t been to this Phuket viewpoint yet!

Tourists don’t know about it yet, but athletes do – they often hike up here.

Surprisingly, it’s located in a pretty obvious spot – on Big Buddha Hill. Since August 2024, access to the statue has been closed due to a landslide, but a stunning new viewpoint was set up at the base.

Just look at that view! Half the island at a glance: the sea, Karon Beach, the mountains, and Chalong area.

You can snap some unique, off-the-beaten-path shots and grab a drink at a small local cafe.

Getting there is easy: drive up to the statue, and right before the “No Entry” sign, turn left into the parking lot. You’ve arrived!

Hurry before the crowds find out!

At the end of the video, we’ll show you how to get there.
