Why go, and how to do it well
Perched above the Karon coastline, this elevated viewpoint delivers sweeping panoramas of Kata Noi Beach and the Andaman Sea, with the beach's comparatively intimate scale making for a more picturesque composition than the busier shores nearby. On clear days, the views extend across the bay's turquoise waters toward surrounding islands, drawing photographers and sightseers throughout the day.
The viewpoint itself is compact, with a small roadside stopping area and a café on site. Visitors who want the prime elevated vantage point will need to order something at the café to access it, though standing at the roadside still offers a worthwhile view at no cost. The spot can get crowded, particularly at sunset, and some visitors note that nearby Karon Viewpoint may offer more space and photographic variety if a comparison is worth making.

Reviews from Google
Viewpoint is small, it has small cafe only which you have to order something to take a photo in the cafe. Comparing to Karon viewpoint, I could get better photos there.
Good view point, recommended for sunset viewing if interested to view from high point. You need to visit a cafe and order to get the full view... you can stand at roadside as well to enjoy the view... as I did.. but parking can be an issue. All in all a good place to see.
The view is nice but it's too crowded
