★★★★★3 months agoBeautiful temple with very friendly staff. Barely any tourists around which means it's a hidden gem. Diffinitelty worth the hike up there.

★★★★★7 months agoThe view from here is amazing. One could see the entire phuket city from the viewpoint. Not only can you see the city, you could even see the ocean if you look closely enough. There is a Buddha statue on the way to this viewpoint. You could visit the Buddha statue after visiting this viewpoint. I read that one could hike up, and I wanted to, but I didn't as it was getting late. Thankfully, I didn't as there wasn't actually a proper hiking path to do so. You would actually need to walk on the same vehicular road at the fringe of the hill. It felt a little dangerous. Currently, the pagoda at the top is hoarded up with gunny sacks. But the view is still quite worth a visit.
