Unseen Phu Pha Rad... The Secret Artistic Corner of Ratchaburi

Located in the area of Khao Ngu Stone Park, Mueang District, Ratchaburi Province, this area was once a rock blasting concession hidden among the valleys for many years. The characteristic of this steep cliff reveals the beauty of the patterns and colors of the granite cliff face, which is a strong and durable rock. The locals metaphorically say it is as tough as a rhino, hence the name 'Phu Pha Rad'. In front of Phu Pha Rad, there is a deep water pond that was drilled with a 'Jumbo drill head' since the concession period, but some drill heads are still submerged and cannot be retrieved. The charm of Phu Pha Rad lies in its beauty at different times of the day, depending on the direction of the sunlight shining on each side of the cliff, and to catch the moment when the water is so still that it creates an Abstract-like reflection on the water surface. It is a work of art created by nature, a new wonder of Ratchaburi city that can be visited all year round.
