Khao Ngu Stone Park, located less than 10 kilometers outside of Ratchaburi, is one of the region's most striking landscapes. It features a spectacular limestone massif and a small artificial lake surrounded by a former quarry that has been transformed into a public park. The park is also an ancient religious site. The Khao Ngu caves contain remarkable Buddhist depictions, including a famous Buddha relief from the Dvaravati period carved into the rock face. The name Khao Ngu literally means "Snake Mountain." Today, the park combines limestone cliffs, a body of water, paths, trails, and ancient Buddhist shrines built into the rock walls. It is one of Ratchaburi's most popular attractions and invites a stroll. However, to be honest, the detour isn't necessarily worthwhile unless you're planning a longer stay in Ratchaburi province. There are more interesting places to visit. The advantage, however, is that the park is not far from the city and can be reached by Grab if you don't have a car.

Free entry. Open from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM.
