Getting There and Transportation
Details regarding travel to Black Rock Viewpoint in Phuket are as follows:
• There is no public transportation that travels directly to Black Rock Viewpoint.
• Private Transport:
• Pickup trucks, high-clearance vehicles, and motorcycles with manual gears or powerful engines can reach the parking area at the entrance. (Note: The 1.5–2 km access road from the main entrance is a rough dirt and gravel track.)
• 4WD Vehicles / Local Jeeps: 4WD shuttle services are available from the entrance area (near the Three Bays Viewpoint/Nui Beach entrance) to take visitors up to the parking area near the viewpoint.
• 4WD Service Fees: Approximately 500 THB per vehicle (round trip), or in some cases, around 200 THB per person (depending on the agreement made with local service providers).
• Once you have parked,
You will need to continue on foot, hiking up a steep hill or forest trail for about 15–20 minutes (a distance of approximately 200–500 meters) to reach the Pha Hin Dam (Black Rock) viewpoint.
Opening Hours and Recommended Visit Times
• Operating Hours: Open daily, 24 hours a day (there are no gates or locks, as it is a natural site atop a hill).
• Recommended times to visit:
• Morning (approx. 06:30 – 09:00): The weather is cool, with soft sunlight and clear views of the sea.
• Evening (approx. 16:30 – 18:30): A popular time to watch the sunset over the Andaman Sea.
• Caution: If you stay for the sunset, please bring a flashlight and make sure to head back down before it gets completely dark, as the forest trail is quite dim and lacks artificial lighting.
The view is expansive and stretches as far as the eye can see—a perfect spot to recharge. Visiting in the late afternoon, once the sun has softened, is highly recommended for an especially delightful experience. You can park your vehicle at the base of the trail and hike up for about 800 meters.
