Pathum Thani’s ‘Eye of Thailand’ Goes Viral After Aerial Footage

A circular island in Pathum Thani has gone viral after aerial footage revealed an unusual green formation surrounded by water near the Chao Phraya River. The site, now nicknamed the “Eye of Thailand,” was shared by legal specialist Prinya Thaewanarumitkul after a river survey near Pathum Thani Bridge. The island appears to be a near-perfect circle made up of dense vegetation, with no visible buildings or signs of habitation. Prinya compared it to Argentina’s “El Ojo” and suggested it may have formed from floating plants rotating over time due to wind or water movement. GISTDA later said further analysis using satellite imagery and motion tracking may help explain how the formation developed.
