Promthep
Cape
Promthep
Cape is a headland forming the extreme south end of Phuket. "Prom" is Thai for
the Hindu term, "Brahma," signifying purity, and "Thep" means 'God.'
Local villagers used to refer to the cape as "Leam Jao", or the God's Cape, and
it was an easily recognisable landmark for the early seafarers traveling up the Malay
Peninsula from the sub-continent.
