Why go
Start above the coast at Karon Viewpoint, then descend through Kata Noi toward Nai Harn. Windmill Viewpoint and Ya Nui keep the middle of the day compact, with short transfers and several chances to pause by the water. Continue to Promthep Cape for the broad late-day outlook, then use Rawai as an optional food or waterfront finish. Swimming and viewpoint conditions depend on weather, so treat the sequence as adjustable rather than a promise that every stop will suit the same day.
