Khao Khitchakut Balancing Rock

Khao Khitchakut Balancing Rock is a famous natural rock formation inside Khao Khitchakut National Park in Chanthaburi Province. Located near the summit at about 1,050 meters elevation, a large boulder balanced on the cliff edge sits beside the revered Buddha footprint (Phra Bat Phluang). It is notable as both a geological curiosity and a major Buddhist pilgrimage site visited annually between January and March.

Visitors can expect a mountain forest setting reached by authorized 4WD trucks from Wat Phluang followed by a steep uphill hike with steps and rocky paths. At the summit area they will see the balancing boulder perched on the cliff edge, the Buddha footprint shrine, offering areas, and panoramic views over Chanthaburi's forests and plains. The site includes shrines, bells, and pilgrim facilities with forested trails and viewpoints along the route.
