I saw the above headline last night from Thai PBS, but this morning I can't find the story. When I do I'll post and provide a link.
It's a good idea IMO as it will give the flora and fauna needed time to recuperate from tourist disturbances each year. As we've seen during Covid-19, both land and sea park closures are producing fantastic results in a very short time.

Thailand’s national parks may be closed for three months each year
https://www.thaipbsworld.com/thailands- ... each-year/
Thailand’s Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment is considering closing the country’s 157 national parks for three months each year, to allow the environment there to regenerate naturally and without human disruption.
Natural Resources and Environment Minister Varavuth Silpa-archa said today that the idea stems from the reemergence of many wildlife species during the past two months, when all the parks were declared off-limits to visitors as part of the COVID-19 lockdown measures.
Land and marine wildlife have been spotted grazing and frolicking in their pre-tourism natural habitats with more frequency and in greater numbers. These include banteng, or tembadau, wild elephants, mountain goats, tigers, black-tipped reef sharks, killer whales, bottle-necked dolphins and sea turtles.
He said that officials are working out appropriate timetables for the staggered closure of the parks.

Re: Thai National Parks may close for 3 months per year
What's going on here? This was announced back in 2013/2014 and the parks have been closed during the monsoon season every year since then!!!
What with that and the recent announcement that pupils at schools will now be allowed to wear their hair long, but tidy which was announced and enacted years ago.
Is the government running out of things to say?
