BANGKOK: Pha Tad Waterfall in Kanchanaburi's Srinakarin Dam National Park will close from Feb 1 due to drought.

Tourists with bookings can request refunds as nature takes time to recover.

The Pha Tad Waterfall in Srinakarin Dam National Park, located in the Thong Pha Phum district of Kanchanaburi, will be closed to tourists from Feb 1 due to ongoing drought conditions.

The Srinakarin Dam National Park issued a statement on Jan 20 announcing that the waterfall will remain closed until further notice.

According to the statement, the drought has resulted in the waterfall having no water and insufficient water to support tourists at the camping ground and accommodations near the site.

As a result, the park office has decided to close the waterfall to tourists to allow nature to rehabilitate itself during this period of drought.

The park office also noted that tourists who have booked camping sites or accommodations can request a refund via the website of the Department of National Parks, Wildlife and Plant Conservation or by calling 034 540 316. - The Nation/ANN
