It's just another beach. But because it's right next to runway of the Phuket International Airport, it's a stragetic place to watch departing and arriving airplanes at very close range. It's great fun to try to capture the right moments of the planes, or watching others to do so. Plus, the sunset there is stunning.
This bridge has been over 50 years and still the only way that links Phuket as an island to the main land at Phang Nga province by land. Apart from its immportance for logistic, it's beautiful with the sino-portuguese design, similar to those houses in the old town. It's a great spot to watch both sunrise and sunset.
This area, which has pine trees lined up like a tunnel by the beach, is peaceful to have a quiet walk while feeling the sea breeze. You may want to enjoy the moment while riding on a horse. There's Phuket Horse Riding Club nearby to offer the service.
Buffalo is an animal unique in countries that grow rice. Even though Phuket is not since the land is too expensive, the locals feel the need to create a home for buffalos.

The main temple in the area. It may not look spectacular or unique compared to other temples but the gem is far deep inside. There’s a little meditation sanctuary in the middle of a lake surround by mangrove forest that is home to many species of birds. If a temple is supposed to offer peacefulness, this area definitely does the job, and what a wonderful place to see.
