Unbelievable that it's been closed all this time. Due to the almost non-existent tourism I'd bet that they would have been lucky to get more than a handful of foreign visitors per day. Maybe more Thai tourists but not many. Plenty of room for distancing (as in all national parks) outdoors and virtually zero chance of Covid-19 transmission especially with masks wearing enforced. More risk from snakes, bugs and microbes IMO. It is a very nice place to visit and worth the effort to go to the top tier of the falls and swim in the lagoons.

Went there in November 2018 and had the place to myself. Right on the border with Myanmar (Burma).
