There is something magical about Phuket’s sunsets.
That fleeting moment when the sun descends into the horizon and the blue skies evolve into orangey-purplish earthy tones; every second is a wonder and we wish we could freeze time just to admire these natural phenomena for just a little longer.
Phuket clearly has no lack of bars, but the question is – which places boast the best vantage points? Here are 9 Bars in Phuket To Watch The Most Stunning Sunsets.
