The weather forecast predicted rain and possible thunderstorm on that day. So we prayed and ask God for good sunny weather. By 9 am, it did not rain so we rented a scooter (*If you do not want to leave your original passport, you can leave a photocopy of your passport but pay 5000B as a deposit. The scooter rental is 300B for 24 hours and 80B for gasoline which was calculated when we returned the scooter)
The first place we rode to was the Kata/Karon Viewpoint. We arrived around 10am and there already so many tour busses parked there already. Most of the tourists we saw were from India and China and a handful of Thais and Europeans.
We only managed to get clear pictures taken once the crowd has left.
We rode out again at 3.30 pm towards the Windmill viewpoint and made a short stop at Nai Harn beach. This beach is much quieter than Kata beach. Had mango sticky rice for tea.
About 4.30pm, we headed over to the Windmill (a wind turbine actually) viewpoint. Apparently, this is a lesser known place compared to the famous Phromthep Cape. We almost had the whole area to ourselves. Trust me, the view of the sea is even better than that of Phrompthep Cape. We took so many photos and the selfie stick was really my best friend. I got sunburned, but for those shots it was worth it.

About 5.20pm, we made our way to Phromthep cape. Throngs of people were already there waiting to catch the sunset. It was still so hot but it did not deter me from walking uphill and downhill to get some nice pictures.
I'll let you see these pictures for yourself.
