Cape Panwa

Getting around

About 15 minutes from Phuket Town, at the end of a south-east peninsula. Quiet roads, but a car or scooter is needed.

Schools

Phuket Town's schools are 15–20 minutes away.

Shopping

Minimal on the cape itself — a few minimarts. Phuket Town's malls and markets are the nearest option.

Eating out

A handful of resort restaurants and local seafood spots with island views; more choice in Phuket Town.

The good

• ✓Spectacular sea and island views
• ✓Very peaceful
• ✓Close to Phuket Town's amenities

Worth knowing

• •East-coast beaches are tidal
• •Limited local dining and shopping
• •A dead-end peninsula — one road in and out
