Panic buttons installed in Khao Yai national park for distressed tourists to call for help

Ten pole mounted emergency call buttons have been set up at different points along the mountainous routes in Khao Yai national park, to allow visitors in distress to alert park officials.

The new communication tool is a joint effort between the national park and the King Mongkut Institute of Technology to provide visitors with a means of calling for help if they get into trouble, such as a road accident, car breakdown or an encounter with wild elephants on the road.

The buttons are installed at kilometre markers 16, 18, 20, 24, 26, 28, 30, 32, 34 and 36.
