Phuket Sightseeing Guide

Located about a 5-minute drive north from the center of Phuket Town, Ran Hill is a small hilltop viewpoint popular among local Thai residents for its panoramic views.

Ran Hill is home to many TV and radio transmission towers, making it a useful landmark when navigating the one-way streets of Phuket Town by car or motorbike. From the viewpoint, you can enjoy a full view of Phuket Town and the eastern coast of the island.

While Promthep Cape and Samao Viewpoint offer beautiful ocean views, Ran Hill provides a different perspective. Visitors can appreciate the old town scenery and night views, making it a recommended spot for those who love panoramic sights. It’s also convenient for tourists staying in Phuket Town hotels or exploring the island by rental car or motorbike, combining sightseeing with shopping at Central Festival or Robinson Department Store.

The top of Ran Hill is a park with benches. In the evening, couples often fill the benches to enjoy the scenery. There are also small shops and casual restaurants, allowing visitors to relax with a drink while taking in the night view.
