He said the number of visitors could grow past the 10,000 mark before the end of the day. The park expects over 10,000 visitors each day of the long New Year weekend, he added.

 

He said the temperature on the mountaintop was measured at 6 degrees Celsius on Saturday morning and 9C at the Kiew Mae Pan viewpoint.

Tourist? Foreign or Thai? I suspect that no additional boost in foreign cash although the spending left by that many tourist should help the local city economy.
