Krating Cape is a beautiful viewing point on the south west coast of Phuket. It's quite difficult to get to, but if you do not mind walking 30-40 minutes past the rocks, cliffs, and steep hills, then it is definitely a place you should not miss.
Krating Cape is known among photographers for its starlit landscapes, free from light pollution. There is a horn-shaped rock where photographers enjoy taking amazing photos. The panoramic views are very beautiful, especially during sunset. You should wear proper shoes, carry a head light, water, and wear long pants.
From Krating Cape you can see Nad-harn Beach and the west coast of Phuket. Next to Nad-harn is Promthep Cape at the south end of Phuket and from here you can see Coral and Racha Island.

First off, my tour guide was 50 minutes late picking me up from the hotel. I had to call the tour company and see what was going on. They did not know I had a reservation that day (even though I had booked many days in advance and contacted the tour operator numerous times beforehand to confirm, which they never replied to). When the tour guide finally showed up, they did not apologize for the delay.
The hike only took 15 minutes, not 30-40 like is advertised. I also did not receive a ''soda/pop'', which says is included. I was not even offered water.
The walk itself is nice and the view is pretty, but a guide is unnecessary. The tour guide doesn't explain anything and doesn't provide any insightful information. Overall, the experience is not worth paying money for. I would recommend doing this hike by yourself for free.

View of sunset was great. Peaceful, not crowded, place. Hike is not for the faint of heart. Need to wear covered shoes with grip and be ready to walk along an ocean cliffside and on rocks. It is rewarding to see sunset. Host used WhatsApp to confirm reservation beforehand and to share pictures, which was very helpful.

The weather didn’t permit a full sunset at the point but the hike was nice and the guide was patient and helpful.
