Khao Ngu Stone Park, Limestone park in Ko Phlapphla, Thailand
Description
Khao Ngu Stone Park is a limestone formation site in Ko Phlapphla featuring several dramatic rock mountains rising from flat terrain with deep valleys carved between them. The park is surrounded by water-filled basins that formed from past quarrying activities and natural erosion.
History
The site was once an active limestone quarry before it was converted into a public recreational space. Traces of the mining era remain visible in the water-filled pits and rocky cliff faces throughout the grounds.
Culture
This place serves as a gathering point for the community, where people come to walk and spend time outdoors. The limestone formations have become part of how locals see and understand their landscape.
Practical
The site has walking paths and observation areas accessible on foot, so comfortable shoes are recommended for exploring. Visiting in the early morning offers the best experience as it is cooler and less crowded than later in the day.
Did you know?
A suspension bridge spans across the water basins and leads visitors to high vantage points offering sweeping views of the entire rock formations. This crossing is popular with photographers seeking elevated perspectives of the limestone mountains and surrounding landscape.
