A mysterious hill in Thailand is drawing global attention after villagers claimed to have frequent encounters with unidentified flying objects (UFOs). American vlogger Travis Leon Price recently visited Khao Kala in Nakhon Sawan province—dubbed Thailand’s Area 51—to uncover the truth behind the astonishing reports.

Khao Kala, located just three hours north of Bangkok, has earned its reputation as a UFO hotspot due to persistent claims from locals. Many residents say they have seen flying saucers or strange lights in the sky, with some asserting these sightings are a nearly daily occurrence. The hill is nestled in a region known as Nakhon Sawan, or "City of Heaven," adding to the mystique of the location. According to a report by CNN, villagers believe that telepathic communication with aliens is possible, especially during meditation sessions in front of Buddha statues found on the hill.

Vlogger Documents Claims And Mysterious Lights

Intrigued by the reports, Travis Leon Price visited the site and recorded his journey in a video shared across his social media platforms. During his exploration, Price was guided by a local who passionately described frequent alien encounters. The area even features a UFO club, where like-minded believers gather to exchange stories and engage in group meditation.

Towards the end of his visit, Price joined a nighttime watch session. His footage captured twinkling lights moving oddly in the sky, something many believe to be evidence of alien activity. While sceptics may argue otherwise, Price left viewers to draw their own conclusions.

A Cultural Blend: Buddhism And Aliens?

Some locals do not see conflict between their Buddhist faith and extraterrestrial beliefs. In fact, they interpret alien messages as spiritually aligned with traditional religious teachings. In 2024, a local sect even hosted Thailand’s first UFO music festival, drawing believers and curious visitors from across the country. Festival attendee Siwadon Chantanasewi told the South China Morning Post, “I thought the aliens might fly past, maybe just pop by for a moment. I had this strong feeling they knew about the festival.”

Government Concerns And Access Rules

Due to growing crowds of UFO seekers, Thai officials have expressed concern about Khao Kala’s status as a protected forest area. While visitors are welcome to hike up the hill and visit religious sites like the large Buddha statue and the Buddha footprint, camping or overnight stays are strictly prohibited.
