Lalu, Rock formation in Thap Rat, Thailand.
The natural rock formations at Lalu span across 790 acres of land, featuring various patterns shaped by wind and rain erosion processes.
The geological structures of Lalu developed through centuries of natural erosion, creating distinct formations in the eastern region of Thailand.
The name Lalu originates from Khmer language, reflecting the historical connections between Thailand and Cambodia in this border region.
Visitors can explore the rock formations by taking local tractor rides through designated paths within the natural geological site.
The landscape changes its appearance annually due to continuous erosion, creating new patterns and formations in the reddish-colored rocks.

The Earth offers a wide range of geological shapes shaped over millions of years by weather and the movements of the land. In Northern Ireland, thousands of basalt columns stand along the coast, leftover from an ancient eruption. In Arizona, the Colorado River carved out a canyon more than 400 miles long. In Bolivia, a salt flat forms a giant mirror during the rainy season. You can also find white terraces formed by hot springs in Turkey, eroded sandstone arches in the American desert, or the largest coral reef in the world off Australia. Some formations show that volcanic activity still occurs, like in Yellowstone Park. Others are the result of tectonic plate collisions, such as the Himalayas where Mount Everest rises. These places tell the story of Earth's geology and are still changing under the influence of wind, water, and moving continents.
