Flash flood warning at Pala-u national park

[buksida]

Thailand’s Department of National Parks reported Saturday that it has closed the access road to Kaeng Krachan National Park’s Pa La-U Waterfall.

In the DNP alert officials said the access road to the waterfall was impassable due to heavy rain at the weekend.

Kaeng Krachan National Park is the largest national park in Thailand covering an area of mountain ranges on the border with Myanmar. The nearest tourist destination is Hua Hin in Prachuap Khiri Khan Province.

The Department of National Parks confirmed in its latest alert that flash floods and heavy rain had caused water levels at Pa La-U Waterfall to rise to make visits risky.

During the monsoon season, tourists who intend to visit national park should check in advance with rangers as many waterfalls and caves particularly in South Thailand could be closed or are risky due to the threat of flash flood.

I do not go to the waterfall, but the road all the way up there to the money booth is one of my favourite short bike rides around here. So it is nice to know when to avoid.
