Your Travel Guide to Thailand
All information & tips to prepare your trip in Thailand
A thousand years ago, the area was the passage of the Ping River which deviated its course. Pha Chor, the final part which is accessed after various stairs, is a 30 meters high cliff with a succession of columns naturally formed on several levels by an uplift of one of the tectonic plates, and the erosion due to the wind and rain. All things considered, some people see similarities with the Grand Canyon in the United States of America and call Phachor the Grand Canyon of Thailand (note that there is also Sam Pan Bok in Ubon Ratchathani province which has this nickname). But Pha Chor remains quite small and therefore has nothing to do with the gigantism of the American Grand Canyon.
