The swing is located in the first half of the trail from Karon to the statue of Big Buda (now temporarily closed) and the Vorkugu viewing platform (open). For swinging on the swing, they ask you to leave 10 baht in the tip box, but no one controls it most of the day (we left it anyway). There is a small bar nearby that is run by locals, with a beautiful view from the swing. The swing is not very safe, but the view from it is wonderful. I recommend this route, Yandex believes that it is always pedestrian, but about 1/4 can be driven on a moped or car, there is a small parking area and a tent with water. Lizards, snakes and monkeys may be found on the route, I do not recommend going loaded, ropes are stretched through part of the route to make it easier to climb and descend. The route takes about an hour.
There is an asphalt path to the place, then if uphill, then hardcore, but you can do it if you take your time.
The view is beautiful, but nothing more. It's perfect for a romantic walk outside of civilization.
The ascent is very difficult, you need sports shoes, it's not worth going just for that, this road to the temple of the big Buddha, but we didn't get there, from this place to the temple is still 1.5 km.through the jungle through the mountains.
If you want to go extreme, go here. There are monkeys along the way, they can be dangerous. Beautiful view of the beaches

To be honest, there are swings in Phuket at every turn, which ones are specifically in question here- I have no idea, but I can say one thing and assure you that everywhere in Phuket it's good, whether with or without swings,))))
Located on the trail from BigBuda to the west coast, there is a beautiful view. I myself climbed (1.5 hours) and descended (20 minutes) along the trail. If you want to light, then go down, if you want hard, then go up. If the target is the platform itself, then the climb is short. When climbing, do not walk along the path to the right in front of the swing - it's a dead end))

It is very difficult to climb on foot, there is dust, there is no road, you literally walk through the jungle and sharply up, you can meet monkeys and believe me these are not cute little animals, but dangerous animals. And all this is not worth the effort, in my personal opinion. If the warning did not discourage the desire, then the advice is, do not wear too open clothes, take as much water and a pocket fan as possible, and also keep in mind that you may feel ill from the height difference, do not walk alone.
