The highest viewpoint in Phuket. The panorama from the ‘Radar Hill’ is simply breathtaking. The views feature Phuket's Bang Wad Reservoir and Chalong Bay with surrounding islands. On the other side of the hill is Patong with the Andaman Sea receding off into the distance. The road ends at the military owned weather station which you can’t enter. Radar Hill Viewpoint is on Chao Fa West Road; take the small road up to Villa Zolitude. The viewpoint is located about two kilometres past the hotel.

Sunday from 4pm.-11pm. Thalang Road becomes a pedestrian zone where numerous shops selling local products – such as food, souvenirs, jewelries and clothes – at affordable and negotiable prices, line both sides of the sidewalk.

Phuket can’t compete with Niagara or Victoria when it comes to waterfalls. However, we do have several picturesque cascades, and during the southwest monsoon a large volume of rain is deposited on the hills, so the run-off can produce some spectacular volumes over the waterfalls.

One near to the main resorts is Kathu Waterfall, which has a shaded walk through the jungle above the falls. The only sounds to disturb the serenity are the wild bird calls and the sibilance of the rushing waters. At the foot of the cascade is a small restaurant - a favourite meeting place for Thai families on the weekend.
