42 waterfalls in national parks closed temporarily

 

 

The Department of National Parks, Wildlife and Plant Conservation has announced a temporary closure of 42 waterfalls in national parks across the country in wake of the looming rainy season.

 

Spokesman of the department Mr Sompote Maneerat said Tuesday that officials at each national park were told to closely monitor water situation in the waterfalls and to immediately sound an alert if water level has risen to a point deemed endangering visiting tourists.

 

He suggested tourists to keep themselves informed about the waterfalls they want to visit and to follow the advice of field officials and all the warning signs for their own safety.

Well, one can not easily colors a waterfall 

Good idea to shut down the sites to tourists. Seems a lot of tourists (from a lot of different countries) are just too stupid to recognize hazards staring them in the face.
