webfact Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 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.

Foghorn Leghorn Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 I say! A sensible and considerate tourist decision for a change. Who would want to pay double to see nothing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Katipo Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Perhaps they could bill it as the Huay Khamin dry rock formation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralf61 Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwisailor Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Is this the park that banned (foreign) tourists from taking food and water in because of the litter? Apparently nothing changed ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
