Breathtaking Views at Monkey Hill Viewpoint

Getting There

• Walking

  If you are in the center of Phuket Town, start at Thalang Road, which is a popular tourist area. From Thalang Road, head northwest towards the intersection with Yaowarat Road. Turn left onto Yaowarat Road and continue walking until you reach the intersection with Phang Nga Road. At this intersection, turn right onto Phang Nga Road. Keep walking straight until you see the entrance to Monkey Hill. The path to the viewpoint is steep, but it is a well-maintained trail. Follow the trail signs that will direct you up the hill to the viewpoint.

• Public Transport (Songthaew)

  From your location in Phuket Town, find a local Songthaew (shared taxi) that is heading towards Monkey Hill. You can catch a Songthaew from the main bus station or on the street where they are frequently picked up. Once you are in the Songthaew, inform the driver that you want to go to Monkey Hill. The ride will take approximately 10-15 minutes. The driver will drop you off at the entrance of the hill, from where you can either walk or take a short path to the viewpoint.

• Bicycle Rental

  If you're feeling adventurous, consider renting a bicycle in Phuket Town. Head towards the main road and follow the signs for Monkey Hill, which is located north of the town center. The bike ride will be uphill, so be prepared for a workout. Follow the route along Phang Nga Road, and as you approach the hill, you will see signs directing you to the viewpoint. Once you reach the entrance, lock your bike and continue on foot to the viewpoint.
