It is true that there are extremely beautiful sunsets to be seen at the viewpoint, on a clear day at least. Often times, especially during the monsoon season, there will be distant clouds on the horizon, obscuring the sunset. At times this can enhance the natural beauty as the sky appears to be alight with fire. Other times, it is just a major let down.
Despite the weather being hit or miss and regardless of whether Laem Phromthep is the most beautiful view in Phuket, it is definitely worthy of a look. It is regarded as one of the must see tourist destinations in Phuket Island.
