Breathtaking Views at Monkey Hill Viewpoint

Getting There

• Car

  If you're traveling by car, start from any location in Phuket Province and navigate towards Ratsada in Mueang Phuket District. Use a GPS or map service to enter the coordinates: 7.8967417, 98.3949957. Once you're on Ratsada Road, look for signs indicating the way to Monkey Hill. The road will gradually lead you uphill, and you may encounter a few sharp bends. Parking is available near the viewpoint, but be aware that spaces can fill up quickly during peak hours. Ensure you have cash for any potential parking fees, which can be around 20-50 THB.

• Public Transportation

  For those relying on public transportation, head to the main bus terminal in Phuket Town. From there, you can take a local songthaew (shared taxi) heading towards Ratsada. Inform the driver that you're going to Monkey Hill Viewpoint. The fare will generally be around 30-50 THB per person. The songthaew will drop you off at the base of Monkey Hill. From there, you can either hike up the well-marked path to the viewpoint or take a motorcycle taxi for a small fee of around 20 THB to reach the top.

• Motorbike

  If you're comfortable riding a motorbike, you can rent one from various shops around Phuket. After renting, set your GPS to the coordinates: 7.8967417, 98.3949957, and follow the same route as cars. Riding up the hill can be a thrilling experience, but be cautious of the steep incline and sharp turns. Ensure you wear a helmet and abide by local traffic laws. Parking is available at the top.
