The famous Naka Cave in Bueng Kan province, known for its snake-like rock structure, has reopened to the public after a month-long shutdown for natural restoration. The cave, situated in the Phu Langka National Park, started receiving tourists again from Saturday (June 2). To protect its natural habitat, the number of visitors has been limited to 1,000 per day.

 

To control the crowd, the park office has reserved 700 spaces for on-the-spot tourists and 300 for those who book beforehand using an app. The staff is working to possibly increase this quota, based on the training of extra guides and staff for an eco-friendly tour experience.

 

To mark the reopening of the cave, the Udon Thani Tourism Office, jointly with the Bueng Kan Tourism Office and the Northeast Tourism Council, provided special wristbands to the first 100 tourists. This is a move to boost tourism at the cave, which is known for its important geological and cultural features.

 

In geological terms, the Naka Cave boasts of remarkable rock structures fashioned by Earth's physical activities including temperature variations that cause decay and make unique sunlight cracks on the rock surface. These natural features give the cave its look like the scales of a big snake, believed by many locals to be associated with the sacred naga, a legendary serpent honored in local folklore.

Limited to 1,000 but will increase once the money starts rolling in...

Priority given to tourists who will no doubt be paying more than locals.
