1. Trekking for sunset

Krating Cape is a beautiful viewing point on the south west coast of Phuket. It's quite difficult to get to, but if you do not mind walking 30-40 minutes past the rocks, cliffs, and steep hills, then it is definitely a place you should not miss. Krating Cape is known among photographers for its starlit landscapes, free from light pollution. There is a horn-shaped rock where photographers enjoy taking amazing photos. The panoramic views are very beautiful, especially during sunset. You should wear proper shoes, carry a head light, water, and wear long pants. From Krating Cape you can see Nad-harn Beach and the west coast of Phuket. Next to Nad-harn is Promthep Cape at the south end of Phuket and from here you can see Coral and Racha Island.

This tour, took my breathe away. My tour guide Jack, did an excellent job he gave us our itinerary for the day tour. The group was able to upgrade our tickets, from third class the bottom of the boat to either second class which was 500 baht and first class which was 700 baht. My only issue with this was everyone either booked their tickets in advance online or through a travel agency. So if you paid online and it cost you $43 usd, which I paid then the 700 baht which in american dollars was $24. It would have been better if the online tour operators had that option on their website. The headache was you had a large group of people who wanted the Gold Class the top seats, it became chaotic like a Black Friday thing. But after all that, the tour was great, going to Phi Phi Don I recommend this its worth it. The view was stunning, the water crystal clear. A lot of tourist there, too many people staying for overnight or more days.

We really enjoyed this tour with my sister, it was definitely the highlight of our trip to Kata. Although we had only a group of four people, our lovely male guide told us a lot of different things about the flora and the history of Thailand with a great enthusiasm while we were trekking up the hill. The route was not that difficult, even if you were in not particularly athletic, we took a lot of breaks to take a breath and drink water but of course heat makes it more difficult. After the route, we got refreshing bottles of water and coconuts at a local cafe. Big Buddha and Wat Chalong Temple were really impressive. After that, we went to WeCafe restaurant which was so amazing and full of people eating lunch. Food was perfect, maybe the best dish I ate throughout the trip. Also the transport from our hotel to starting point (CC’s hideaway) and from WeCafe to our hotel worked well. Our guide also took pictures of us along the route but unfortunately for some reason we never got them for ourselves, those would have been a nice memory!

View of sunset was great. Peaceful, not crowded, place. Hike is not for the faint of heart. Need to wear covered shoes with grip and be ready to walk along an ocean cliffside and on rocks. It is rewarding to see sunset. Host used WhatsApp to confirm reservation beforehand and to share pictures, which was very helpful.

Really enjoyed the whole day & I would definitely recommend it. The only thing I would say is that although James Bond Island is lovely, it is very small and not much there other than quite a few souvenir stalls all selling the same thing. What would have been good is somewhere selling ice cold drinks (as it was a very hot day) and we where there quite awhile.
