Nakee Cave closed for 7 days after Covid cluster uncovered

The Nakee Cave in Nakhon Phanom’s Phu Langka National Park was closed from Friday for seven days after seven guides and tourists tested positive for Covid-19.

The February 11-17 closure was announced on the park’s Facebook page, which also urged people who had visited the cave between February 5 and 10 to undergo RT-PCR tests.

The Nakee Cave, which like the Naga Cave on the border with Bueng Kan province is popular with tourists for its snake-like markings. This cave is in Nakhon Phanom’s Ban Phaeng district.
