Heaven The sun chaser

By Olenka Priyadarsani
You are never on vacation to the island of Phuket, Thailand, probably never visited this place. Promthep Cape or Cape Promthep located at the southern tip of the island and is renowned as the perfect place to watch the sunset.
When I visited him in the daytime, this place looks great. Just like a rocky hill, much like substations-viewing post in the tourist area in Indonesia, only bigger. The stalls selling drinks and souvenirs cash Thailand lined along the parking area. Some restaurants became a favorite haven for tourists who do not want to sting the sun.
The view toward the ocean blue, with green hills in the distance, looks beautiful though it is not different from the scenery in Phuket in general. Everyone awaits the moment of sunset.
More and more tourists coming in line with bergulirnya sun to the western horizon. Each people jockeyed for position, looking for the most perfect place watch the sunset. The day was bright blue sky.
After getting the right position, we also set up a camera and tripod. We did not move from that place for fear that the place was taken by someone else, even though the sun was still shining quite hot and the scenery is still not good to capture.
At 18:00, the sun loses heat, causing orange tinge. This is the right time to start taking a picture. Currently, the entire periphery view post has been filled with tourists. Maybe it's because on Sunday, local tourists also very numerous.


Some of the young couple was busy taking photos. Seen many families with small children, as well as groups of veiled women - perhaps as a group recitation that in Indonesia. Tourists of various nationalities, ages, all have the same goal, namely watch the sunset at Cape Promthep, Phuket.
I, who came with her husband and sister, no less incentive to take pictures. Hobby photography husband seems satisfied at this place. Various poses with various angles to capture. Some people smiling glance at our stylish, but we do not care. It's come all the way to Cape Promthep, we want to take pictures.
The orange sun sank, creating an atmosphere that made everyone pause to enjoy. Reflections on the golden color of the sea surface creates a perfect blend with the natural surroundings.
When the sun has completely sunk in the horizon, people were headed home, pocketed tens of photos on their camera.To Cape Promthep from Phuket Town or Patong
Cape Promthep can be reached from the direction of Phuket Town, Wat Chalong through. You can along the main road to Chalong intersection, then take the coast road through Rawai Beach. Very easy to find this place because in Phuket there are quite a lot of directions.
If you depart from the coast, Patong Beach, for example, you live along the coast road through Karon and Kata beaches. Cape Promthep and Patong is about 18 kilometers.
To reach this place, and around Phuket in general, you can use a taxi or rent a Tuktuk. However, the most convenient and cheapest is to rent a motorcycle. In addition to more flexible time, also much easier to enjoy the scenery because it can quit at any time. Although the winding and up and down, the streets in this island are all paved smooth. Rent bike around THB 250-300 per day or USD 75-90 thousand without gasoline.
