The west coast of Phuket offers stunning views of the Andaman Sea, and beautiful beaches. The route travels from the southernmost tip of Phuket at Promthep Cape to the northernmost point, on Sarasin Bridge which joins the island to the Thai mainland (or reverse). The route follows the coastal road for the majority of the route, also passing along the beach front road through Patong and at Kamala leaves the main road to pass the tsunami memorial to pay respects to the tsunami of 2001 which devastated the west coast of Thailand.

Beginning in Chino the trail follows the road to the base of Yatsugataki, then after a steep climb to the ridge line it follows the backbone to the southern end (Gongen) then it descends into Yamanashi.

This trail climbs the iconic Yarigataki (Northern Alps) before veering south following the Hotaka Ridge line.. it ends at the Hotaka Gondola .
