Why go, and how to do it well
Perched on Khao Rang Hill in the Wichit area of Mueang Phuket District, this viewpoint delivers sweeping panoramic views across Phuket Town, the coastline, and the island's forested hills — including visible sightlines toward Patong. Named after a historical figure of regional significance, the site sits near Khaorang Temple, giving the stop a quiet cultural dimension alongside its scenic appeal. The combination of urban landscape, sea, and natural terrain visible from a single vantage point makes it a worthwhile detour for travelers wanting to grasp the island's geography beyond its beaches.
The atmosphere is relaxed and accessible. A small cluster of cafes, ice cream vendors, and snack stalls operates at the site, making it a comfortable place to linger rather than a quick photo stop. Visitors can reach the viewpoint on foot from Phuket Old Town in roughly an hour, or more conveniently by vehicle, making it an easy addition to a day already spent exploring the town.

Reviews from Google
Visiting Khaorang Temple in Phuket is a serene yet thrilling experience that beautifully blends nature, culture, and a hint of wild adventure. Nestled on Khao Rang Hill, this temple isn't just a place for prayer and meditation — it’s also known for its panoramic views and the unexpected company of monkeys freely roaming the area. As you make your way up the hill, the cool breeze and lush greenery greet you. Once you arrive at the temple grounds, you're welcomed by the peaceful atmosphere, golden Buddha statues, and traditional Thai architecture. The temple is not as tourist-heavy as others, making it perfect for quiet reflection. But one of the most unique parts of the visit? The monkeys. These curious, cheeky creatures are a part of the Khao Rang experience. They often wander around the viewpoint and temple grounds, sometimes playfully interacting with visitors. Some may approach you, especially if they sense food, so it's best to avoid feeding them and keep your belongings secure — they are smart and fast! Despite their mischievous nature, the presence of the monkeys adds a lively, natural charm to the peaceful surroundings. It’s a gentle reminder that in Thailand, even sacred spaces are closely tied to nature. Whether you're watching the sunset from the Khao Rang Viewpoint, praying at the temple, or observing the playful monkeys, this place offers a unique, memorable blend of spiritual calm and wild beauty.
Beautiful spot to have an overlooking view of the entire Phuket. I highly recommend coming here during the afternoon because it's too hot during midday.
Great spot to see the whole of Phuket Town! The view is amazing, especially around sunset — you can see the city, the sea, and the hills all in one shot. There’s a small café up there .
