Khao Ok Thalu, a mission to test your courage! 1,066 steps to the hole

If you consider yourself an adventurer who loves a challenge and wants unique 360-degree views, Khao Ok Thalu in Phatthalung Province is a must-see. This sacred site and symbol of the city is ready to test your courage!
Test your courage with the 1,066 steps (Mission Impossible!?)

The stairs are your battleground. Forget the elevator! Conquering Khao Ok Thalu is a battle against yourself. It begins with over a thousand concrete steps (some sources say 1,066, others say 1,100).

The higher you go, the more exciting it is. Admittedly, it's tiring! But every step up is a warm-up for the ultimate highlight. Bring some upbeat music or a great podcast to listen to along the way!

Pro Tip: Arrive early in the morning (5:30-6:00 AM) to enjoy the cool breeze and watch the sunrise. It's well worth the sweat!

The Amazing "Ok Thalu" Hole

Take a photo of nature as you reach the "Ok Thalu" point. You'll find a large hole in the mountain that allows you to see the sky and the city from another side.

This unseen photo spot is a must! Try to find an angle that allows you to see the scenery below through the hole. It's a picture frame created just for you by nature!

The entire city of Lung is within your grasp from the top of the mountain (which may require a bit of a climb from Ok Thalu for advanced climbers). You'll get an unobstructed view of Phatthalung Province.

Songkhla Lake & Rice Fields: See the forest, green rice fields, Thale Noi, and Songkhla Lake, all interwoven like a giant map.

The city pillar of Khao Ok Thalu is like the city pillar of Phatthalung. Standing at the highest point in the city feels like a recharge!
