Monkey Hill, Phuket Overview

Toh Sae Hill or Monkey Hill is often frequented by tourists who like to spend time watching the frolicky creatures up to their mischievous antics. They can also be fed little treats and even have been trained by a local man to perform some little tricks. As a massive tourist attraction viewing a range of unique macaques, monkey hill is also the tallest hill in Phuket.

Here, you can find a few TV and radio stations and a recreational and jogging spot for the locals. A proper platform was set up in 2015, offering a stunning city view to tourists and locals. Also, the shrine at the bottom of the hill is quite famous here.

Tips

Try and visit the place during the day especially if you want to trek uphill as the walkway is steep and requires quite a lot of time.
Do not let your guard off while feeding the monkeys as they can be quite unpredictable.
Vehicles are not allowed between 7:00 AM to 8:00 AM and 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM. Plan accordingly.
If you are planning to take the long trek to the top, it is recommended to carry a first aid kit and a few snacks including protein bars.
Wear comfortable shoes with a good grip as there would be quite a lot of walking.
