Cape Phromthep - Prince of JumBorn

Share

His Royal Highness Prince Abhakara Kiartiwonges, Prince of JumBorn

This is not a name that I read very much when I read about Phuket but for those in the Royal Thai Navy he was.  The Prince studied in the Royal Academy of England at the age of thirteen and became a naval cadet. 

The prince began the Royal Thai Navy (with an attached Naval Engineering School) and he built the first military base in Phuket.

So if you choose to visit Cape Phromthep for the beautiful sunset please also look for this statue erected in his honour.

Wat Luang Phu

Wat Luang Phu is a Buddhist Temple which they have not finished constructing.  We came upon this Buddhist Temple because we were trying to find Xtrem Adventure park.


The temple is not one to walk through because it is not complete but it does look magnificent (although most Buddhist temples do) - but it will be we did when we visited 
Xtrem Adventure park - pop in.
