Khao Ok Thalu (Thai: เขาอกทะลุ) or Phukhao Ok Thalu (Thai: ภูเขาอกทะลุ), is a mountain in Phatthalung Province, Thailand. It is a karstic formation.
This mountain is east of the Phatthalung railway station. It can be accessed from Wat Khuha Sawan via Highway 4047. There is a flight of stairs leading to the mountaintop where there is a Buddhist shrine overlooking the city of Phatthalung. The mountain is named after a hole near the top.
Khao Ok Thalu is an unusually-shaped mountain, clearly visible from afar. It has symbolic significance in Phatthalung[1] and appears in somewhat stylized form on the provincial seal of PhatThalung.
