Why Visit Khao Ngu Stone Park?

Khao Ngu Stone Park is a striking landscape of limestone cliffs, serene lakes, and winding walkways, just outside Ratchaburi. The park blends natural beauty with light recreation, making it an easy and photogenic stop for visitors heading west from Bangkok. Its dramatic rock formations rising above calm waters have earned it a reputation as one of Ratchaburi’s most scenic public parks.

What to Expect During Your Visit

During your visit you’ll stroll across suspension bridges and boardwalks that circle the lake, offering views of the cliffs reflected in the water. The park is popular with local families for picnics and short hikes, while photographers are drawn to the panoramic landscapes.

There are small food stalls near the entrance, rental paddle boats on weekends, and shaded areas to relax. It’s a leisurely experience rather than an adventure, a peaceful contrast to the bustle of floating markets or temple grounds.
