Phuket: Day 3 Noon to Phromthep Cape

Day 3, we take a bus from Patong Beach to Phuket Town (40batt), and get another bus to Karon Beach (50batt), we stay at Divers Inn, the bus driver is so good to stop us at Soi Bangla , where was closest distance of to our stay...

We rent a bike for touring around Karon Beach, 1 day or 24 hours rental might be waste as we don't drive at mid night, and so happy that we manage to find a bar who willing to rent a scooter 12 hours for 100 batt only... plus another 60batt for gasoline...
Once get our transport ready, we heading south to Phromthep Cape, on the way there from Karon Beach, after passing Kata Beach is a hill way or highland road, no worry, scooter can handled that.... We stop for lunch at a restaurant near Kata View Point, we ordered western food, 2 set with 170 batt, what special about this restaurant is it built laying on hill, you can enjoy your meal with a fascinating view of Kata Beach...

After that we drop by at a elephant park... we didn't take any elephant ride, but we enjoy some photo session with them, they seem like smile when we feed them with some banana, you can pay any amount for fund to support these elephant...
We reach Yanui Beach, when we miss a junction to Phromthep Cape, that beach is a bit non crowded... not bad if you look for some low density beach... there is some yatch here as well...

Back to the correct way, you can see "giant fan" waiving to welcome you....
Light house is an important role for cape, to avoid any crashing... But this Kanchanaphisek light house is a pretty one to accompany Phromthep Cape... As well, you can see elephant sculpture located here for local resident to pray.

Many people was here to wait for sunset... i never experience a sunset view together with that much of people... After what come after sunset is dark... so we have to leave in dark...

After shower at Divers Inn, we were so hungry to search for dinner, we pass by a Wat (should be Wat Suwan Khiri Khet from map infomation), and there is some event with a lot stall around, ( or night market, not really know that is temporally or permenant.... hehe...) so we hunt for dinner here, guess what, below as my dinner... what an attractive layout!! Innovative on simple food did add value to attract me... hehe... spending for the night is 60+30+50 batt accordingly...
There was a performance stage that making the event crowded, when i was there, group of children was performing some modern and classic dance... after that... the MC did announcement and invite next performance, i do not understand Siam but is sound like highlight of the match... a group of performer come with a costume of europe style, seem glories, bangsawan... but after some time when one singer start to sing with music in kara ok style.... i notice costume wasn't the only attraction... That was a free Simon Cabaret show...
