Why should you go there and how do you do it right?

Café Phuket Viewpoint clings to the hillside of Phrabaramee Road, the coastal road that runs north from Patong towards Kalim and Kamala. It was built for one purpose only: to offer breathtaking views across Patong Bay. Terraces cascade down the hillside, providing loungers, comfortable seating areas, and small platforms. The famous swing catapults guests over the precipice with the sea at their backs. This iconic feature makes it the most photographed café in Phuket.

Enjoy the view and the sunset, not the food. The menu offers Thai and Western café fare, cakes, and smoothies. Opinions on the food quality vary, but the stunning scenery is the absolute highlight. Expect a minimum spend for a table and extra charges for photos. One visitor recently paid 100 baht for the swing, 200 baht for a rental dress, and another 200 baht for a video taken by the staff. The restaurant is open daily from 10:30 am to 7:30 pm, so if you visit in the late afternoon, you can enjoy the beautiful light over the bay before closing.
