Description

Monkey Hill Viewpoint is one of the highest viewpoints in Phuket, rising some 280 meters above sea level.

This unique spot is famous for its colony of more than 400 macaques, which run freely on the hill and enjoy interacting with visitors.

From the very top, there is a breathtaking panorama of Phuket town, the Andaman Sea and the surrounding islands. On sunny days, even the Phi Phi islands can be spotted.

There is also a shrine dedicated to the three holy spirits at the summit, an important cultural landmark for the local community.

avatarSaule Petraityte3 months agoSuch a cool experience, especially seeing the monkeys—there were so many, and the baby ones were absolutely adorable! Even though we didn’t climb all the way up since it wasn’t too hot, the monkeys are all over the place, so it was still totally worth the visit. Only on the way out did we realize you could rent them to take you with a scooter or taxi to the top—I wish that had been made clearer or offered at the entrance. That would have made the visit even better. Overall, a fun and unique spot, definitely worth checking out!
avatardj sal4 months agoThis was a hard climb yet extremely wild and beautiful. A test of self will for a beautiful natural experience! Many rest stops on the way up. PLEASE DO NOT BRING BOTTLES OF WATER! If you must, only drink at rest stops. Monkeys know how to use bottles to drink fresh water. If you don't want any runs with them be smart and respect nature
avatarIgor Dvorov (PhuketON)2 months agoA beautiful panorama of the island will open up to the one who climbed up to this observation deck. It is very beautiful here, there are exercise machines where you can work out in the fresh air. Monkeys run around, which you can feed after buying bananas. Depending on the season, the road to the observation deck is closed to traffic and it is only possible to climb here on foot - this will be a good workout for the body. The road is quite long and always goes uphill - it is better to visit this place early in the morning or in the evening, when it is not so hot and there are not so many tourists. But, after overcoming this path, a wonderful view of the city appears before your eyes. It should be borne in mind that this observation deck does not end on the wooden platform with the name of the place. You can climb even higher, visit a small temple at the peak of the mountain and go behind the buildings of television and radio companies, from where you can fully enjoy the beautiful view.
