⛰Kyaiktiyo or “Kyaiktiyo” is located on the top of Phueng Luang Mountain at an altitude of 3,615 feet above sea level.
⛰Kyaiktiyo means the hermit’s head rock. It is a large golden rock, 5.5 meters high, located on a steep cliff, defying gravity. It looks like it will fall down, but it does not. For this reason, it has been transformed into a place of worship.
🙏It is a wonder that is believed to be a rock that Indra hung up. There is also a pagoda built on the rock, which is a replica of the Phra Kesa Kaew Chulamani, which is the Phra Kesa Kaew Chulamani, the Phra Kesa Kaew Chulamani, the Phra Kesa Kaew Chulamani in the Year of the Dog.
🙏Worshiping Phra Kesa Kaew is like worshipping Phra Kesa Kaew Chulamani in heaven.
💥Phra Kesa Kaew is also known as one of the wonders of Myanmar.
🛤According to geology, Phra Kesa Kaew is the result of natural erosion of rocks. Appearing in various places around the world, but in this form it is hard to find. 🛤The cause is the lifting of the granite layer and causing cracks both vertically and horizontally. Then, water is the erosion factor, flowing along the cracks in the rock. 
🗻Erosion slowly changes the shape of the rock over a long period of time, making the rock look round and deceptively like the rock has been lifted up and placed on the cliff, miraculously.
