Kaeng Khut Khu is formed with a large rock obstructing a curve of the Mekong River causing strong currents. During the rainy season, Kaeng Khut Khu is concealed under water, but during summer time in February-May, the rock and its surrounding sandy beaches spectacularly reveal themselves. Visitors can leisurely walk on some parts of it. Fish abound around this place, similar to Kaeng Fa and Kaeng Chan in Amphoe Pak Chom. Tourists who yearn for the close touch of the Mekong and its natural environment can take a 20-person boat to cruise for about 1 hour for a distance of 4 kilometers past Kaeng Khut Khu, Phu Khwai Ngoen and Phu Pha Baen. Kaeng Khut Khu is also famous for many local food stalls operated by Ban Na Noi people. Apart from common mouthwatering dishes such as rossted chicken and papaya pha, kung ten and tomyam. These dishes are clean and reasonably priced.
