The farmer on whose land the split occurred had a flourishing soybean farm until one day he woke up to a crack on his farm that was 7 feet wide and 23 feet deep. The natural phenomenon occurred with no logical explanation. What could have ruined the farmer’s livelihood was quickly turned into a tourist attraction, as the farmer decided to open his land up to visitors who can come and visit this unique attraction.

Once you arrive at this farm, you are welcomed by a warm smiling Thai man offering refreshing hibiscus juice as he explains the history behind the giant split. You will be offered a range of tasty food and drinks which are mostly produced from the farm and you will be able to take a walk over to the crack.

There is no entry fee to visit, but visitors are encouraged to make a donation to support the farmer who can no longer use this portion of his land. The Split is located just a few minutes of the 1095 Highway near a temple called Wat Phaem Klang. After you finish at the Split, you can head over to the Pam Bok Waterfall which is located just 3.2 kms away.
