So, when I climbed up the Big Buddha Hill and stared at the topography of Phuket, I was surprised at the extent of the island's coastlines. It extended kilometres away. And my! Everywhere I turned, I saw hills! I thought Phuket was just about beaches. Nobody ever mentioned hills and peaks and mountains! I had to see for myself to believe it.
In some of the deepest parts of these hilly jungles, one can even bungee jump from waterfalls or trees!

Next, we visited Khao Rang - Phuket Hill. There's a cafe here which is built right above the trees, overlooking Puket town. It's lights are so attractive that even red bottom monkeys with greying eyebrows gather here for grand feasts in the evenings. The view point is stunning. I bet the monkeys wait 'til 'the city is dotted with bright, orange sparks before they retire back to their homes.

The highlights of our trip, was visiting Promthep Cape. It's a beautiful place to feel the sun settling behind faraway hills. Sun rays spread across the marine bay, like snowflakes, floating gently down into the ocean. Windmills turn as the light sea breeze whistles by. Little white yachts dot the coast, bobbing up and down, up and down according to the rhythm of the waves.
Ahhh... what a sight to behold. Soothing, calming... it makes you forget all your troubles... and reminds us of the reason we're alive. It's the kind of place that floods you with a sense of inner peace as soon you set foot on it.
