Phuket - Rang Hill

There are many places worth a visit in Phuket and so I've decided to write and show a few photos about some of them. This is the first, Rang Hill in Phuket Town.

Situated on the northern side of the town, approached from Mae Luan Road at the juction with Satun Road or Yaorawat Road, next to Vachira Hospital. The road climbing up the hill is quite pleasant to drive, surrounded by woodland it's hard to imagine being in the middle of a city.

Upon reaching the top there is a a one-way system with two parking areas. An outdoor cafe come snack bar is situated just beyond the first car park and there are two restaurants affording superb views of the town.
A statue of Ratsada Korsimbi Na Ranong, governor of Phuket between 1890 and 1909, who did much for the development of Phuket has been erected here.
