Laem Promthep (Promthep Cape) also known by the locals as Laem Jao (God's Cape) is the southern most tip of the Phuket Province or, as Jamie Monk put it in his blog - "The End of Phuket!"
Locals and tourists alike will stop to make an offering at the Elephant Shrine.
The Opening Ceremony of the Golden Jubilee Lighthouse Construction Project was held on Monday, September 29, 1997 in celebration of the 50th Anniversary of His Majesty the King accession to the throne.
It is possible to climb up to the top from where you can see the offshore islands as well as a great view of Rawai and Nai Harn as well as watching other tourists enjoying the sunset below.

Most people will know Laem Promthep for being the best place to watch the sunset in Phuket, sunrise is
good too, and therefore most people will see it from above.
Sunset is beautiful but it is also good to view Laem Promthep in daylight from the sea, taking a boat from Rawai Beach and following the shoreline around to Koh Mun, Haad Ya Nui, Haad Nai Harn and Ao Sane. If you take the trip late afternoon you can watch the sunset from your boat.

Along the roadside that leads to the car park are many stalls selling snacks, so be sure to buy something before you walk on to watch the sunset!

This must be the only lighthouse I have ever visited where you have to remove your shoes before entering!
Inside the light house is a small museum collection as well as a small souvenir stall.

Don't forget to try the Laem Promthep Restaurant and enjoy a perfect sunset accompanied by a nice cold beer and good food.

Hidden beaches as you follow the coast around.
The Lighthouse built in 1996 for the Golden Jubilee of His Majesty the King finally becomes visible.
As you reach the headland, Haad Nai Harn can be seen just beyond Koh Mun.
