History


Description

The village Phattalung is dubbed Phu Khao Ok Thalu (Town of the Hollow Hill), which is just a description of the most outstanding feature of the village. When approaching Phattalung, the visitor is able to see the hill Khao Ok Thalu (250 m asl) from far. Stairs lead up to the summit where visitors can get a panoramic view of the province. The specialty of this hill is a huge hole at the top which allows people to see through.
