Known in Thailand as “UFO Mountain,” Khao Kala became famous after villagers reported encounters with silvery disc-shaped craft and telepathic contact with beings from Plu and Loku, two planets mentioned in long-standing local lore. Since the late 1990s, witnesses claim to see metallic spheres emerging from the clouds above the Buddha statue and hovering silently over the treeline before vanishing. A local meditation group led by the Ruang family reported receiving telepathic messages at the site, prompting Thailand’s government in 2019 to briefly restrict access due to large crowds attempting to witness the phenomena. Visitors still report strange lights moving over the limestone hills at night, unexplained humming sounds, and sudden bursts of wind around the mountain’s summit, keeping Khao Kala one of Southeast Asia’s most persistent UFO hotspots.
