Samet Nangshe Viewpoint
จุดชมวิวเสม็ดนางชี
A hilltop viewpoint on the north shore of Phang Nga Bay that looks down on limestone islands at sunrise, widely considered the most beautiful view of the bay.
Samet Nangshe is in Takua Thung District of Phang Nga Province, about 1 hour by car from Phuket Airport. The hilltop viewpoint faces Phang Nga Bay, and at sunrise, morning mist and sunlight fall across dozens of limestone islands and mangroves, creating striking layers of depth. From the parking area, you transfer to local 4WD vehicles or walk up a steep slope to reach the viewpoint. Entry costs about 30–50 baht. You can stay overnight in the tent campsite or cabins at the summit and watch the sunrise before dawn. During the day, it is often combined with Phang Nga Bay boat tours.
