Begin the New Year with faith, blessings, and inner peace at Khao Khitchakut, one of Thailand’s most sacred pilgrimage destinations, nestled in the serene mountains of Chanthaburi. Each year, devotees and travelers alike make the meaningful ascent to welcome new beginnings, spiritual strength, and positive energy for the year ahead.
Surrounded by the tranquil beauty of the Soi Dao Mountains, this sacred journey becomes more than just a tradition. It becomes a moment of reflection, belief, and renewal.
The Sacred Meaning of Khao Khitchakut
Khao Khitchakut is revered as the home of the Phluang Buddha’s Footprint, believed to have been imprinted by the Buddha himself. It is also recognized as the highest elevated Buddha footprint in Thailand, making a pilgrimage here a once-in-a-lifetime spiritual blessing.
Many believe that paying respects at this sacred site brings happiness, prosperity, smooth progress in life, and success in business throughout the year. For generations, this belief has drawn people from across the country to begin the New Year with faith and devotion.
Hin Luk Phra Bat: A Symbol of Protection and Merit
Near the summit stands Hin Luk Phra Bat, a massive boulder shaped like an overturned alms bowl, miraculously balanced on the edge of a cliff. According to legend, it is protected by a Naga, the mythical serpent. Worship at this site is believed to bring spiritual merit, protection, and balance.
Wishes Written with Faith
At the mountain’s peak, pilgrims take part in a meaningful ritual by writing their wishes on red cloth. This symbolic act represents sending prayers upward with sincerity and belief, carrying hopes for health, happiness, and success into the New Year.
This ritual transforms the journey into something deeply personal, filled with peace, intention, and quiet strength.
