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.
