About this audio guide
This guide to the Windmill Viewpoint at Phuket's southern tip explains why the turbines behind the crowds of selfie-takers aren't just scenery. It traces a 1980s pilot project by Thailand's national power authority on this exposed headland, and the milestone that later linked those turbines to the country's electrical grid. You'll also hear about the beaches curving below — Nai Harn to one side, Ya Nui to the other — and why sunset here draws photographers and paragliders alike.
