Morning light scrapes across the Andaman as the van threads beach roads away from Patong, and the island’s coastline unfurls in a succession of bays. The route moves with purpose: first to Wat Chalong, where lacquered chedis and gilt statues draw pilgrims and photographers alike; then south to Promthep (Phrom Thep) Cape, a blunt headland that throws dramatic views of sea and limestone islets; finally into the painted streets of Phuket Old Town, where Sino-Portuguese facades and narrow alleys hold the island’s mercantile past.
