Huay Khamin waterfall closed to tourists

 

 

KANCHANABURI: -- The Srinakharind national park in Kanchanaburi has decided to close down the Huay Khamin waterfall after water has dried up.

 

Mr Thiti Somphi, the park chief, said on Tuesday that the waterfall which is a popular tourist destination in Kanchanaburi province has been affected by climate change in the past 3-4 years, resulting in premature drying up of water feeding the waterfall.

 

He said that he was afraid that tourists would be disappointed when they arrive at the waterfall and find out that there is no water at all, hence, it is logical to close down the waterfall until the rainy season.

National parks are off my list

in Thailand now days .

 

I say!

A sensible and considerate tourist decision for a change. Who would want to pay double to see nothing?

It's not double,   its way more than that.

Prayut might want to reconsider that there will be plenty of water this year..................................

Perhaps they could bill it as the Huay Khamin dry rock formation 

 A waterfall needs water to be a waterfall. There is no waterfall without water, but how can you close down a thing that does not exist?

 

Oh, too much philosophy for a Wednesday morning. Maybe I should rethink my drinking habits...

Is this the park that banned (foreign) tourists from taking food and water in because of the litter? Apparently nothing changed !
