Monkey Hill (Khao Toh Sae) is a hill to the east of Phuket Town inhabited by several hundred macaques. An observation platform overlooks the port and the Andaman Sea, but the best views are actually found on the road going up. The summit itself is covered with antennas. In the evening, with the road closed to vehicles, it's a popular walking route for locals.
Our local tip
The road is closed to vehicles from 5pm to 8pm: ideal for a walk up at sunset (allow approximately 2 hours round trip). Do not feed the monkeys and keep a close watch on young children.
