Monkey Hill, Phuket

Toh Sae hill or monkey hill is among the highest heights in Phuket town and a favourite place for the local people and tourists. The hill is known to have a troop of wild macaques that are very active and therefore offer a unique opportunity to watch these mischievous animals in the wild. The winding road is shaded and joggers and walkers like the road, thus making it an outdoor lot.
There is a spectacular top view at the summit that extends to the town of Phuket, the Andaman sea and neighbouring islands. The base is provided with shrines and spirit houses that provide a touch of culture, whilst the viewpoints at the top provide the best background to make a photograph, especially during sunset. And it may be a jungle adventure, a physical challenge, or a scenic view of the island; Monkey Hill has a real experience of nature, culture, and rest when you are not in the busy tourist attractions of the island.

Best time to visit
The best time to visit is early in the morning when the weather is cool, there are fewer people around and the monkeys are still active in the pathways. It is ideal to walk or jog there because of its serene nature. Afternoons are also good with the warm golden light on the landscape and colder temperatures are also emerging. To have spectacular scenery, then keep it up until the sun sets when the sky shines above Phuket Town and the beach.
How to reach Monkey Hill
  • By Car: Drive up through the main entrance near Phuket Town. The paved road is steep but easy to follow, with parking spaces available at the viewpoints.
  • By Train: Phuket doesn’t have train services. If travelling by train to Bangkok or Surat Thani, continue by bus or flight to Phuket, then take a taxi to the hill.
  • By Foot: Hiking is a popular way to reach the top. The uphill walk takes 30–45 minutes along shaded, winding roads, making it a favourite for fitness enthusiasts.
