Report Plans Unveiled for Cable Car to Phu Kradueng Amid Enthusiastic Local Support
Picture courtesy of KhaoSod The Tourism and Sports Minister, Sorawong Tienthong, has confirmed ambitious plans for constructing a cable car to Phu Kradueng in Loei province, aiming for completion by late 2026. The proposal ensures that the route will not interfere with existing walking paths, maintaining the park's natural beauty. On June 9, Sorawong, alongside advisor Jakrapat Klongpayanabaan and secretary Krittada Tantuedtit, visited Phu Kradueng National Park to review the cable car project's development. During this visit, discussions were held with national park officials, the campaign committee, and other stakeholders to refine the project's scope and impact. Accompanied by an enthusiastic turnout of over 500 residents, including local students and government officials such as Loei governor Chaiyaporn Jarupong and MPs Lertsak Pattanchaiyakun and Saran Timsuwan, the project was met with considerable local support. The survey included evaluating the starting station and tourist transfer points, crucial for ensuring seamless integration with existing infrastructure. Sorawong outlined a 15-month timeline for the project, which includes installing 12 support pillars, each occupying a 6 x 6 square metre area. He reassured the public that the cable car's path would avoid existing trails, preserving the option for traditional hiking. The cable car is anticipated to boost tourism by enabling more day trips, eliminating the need for overnight stays. Sorawong aims to have the first pillar erected by the end of 2026 or early 2027, aligning with a structured schedule that prioritizes environmental concerns and stakeholder engagement. Addressing potential legislative hurdles, such as those under the national parks act, Sorawong emphasized the government's commitment to navigating these successfully. Engaging NGOs and ensuring compliance with environmental standards remains a priority. Local resident and former municipal councillor, 75-year-old Sanguan Kamatasila, expressed his support for the long-awaited project, hoping to experience the cable car ride. He highlighted the project's delays across various government terms, marking the recent announcement as a significant milestone. As the project advances, the cable car to Phu Kradueng promises to enhance accessibility while preserving the park's serene landscape, reflecting a harmonious blend of progress and conservation.
