The Department of National Parks, Wildlife and Plant Conservation (DNP) announced on Friday (July 10) that the Khao Yai National Park attracted the most tourists over the July 4 to 7 long-weekend.

Palio Khao Yai, a picturesque shopping centre in Nakhon Ratchasima, is now rumoured to be closed after reportedly suffering from the impact of the Covid-19 crisis since March.

Staff of Khao Yai National Park, which spans Nakhon Ratchasima, Prachin Buri, Saraburi and Nakhon Nayok provinces, have posted a list of do’s and don’ts on the park’s official facebook page and warned tourists who visit the Park during the winter season to beware of wild elephants, which are often seen walking across and along the roads.

The large number of foreign tourists visiting each year includes a large group that has started to look at condominiums to buy, so they can have a place to stay when they visit Phuket.Some also sought additional rental income when they were not in residence.

A 400-kilometre wall of naturally barbed bamboo is being planted in Khao Yai National Park to keep wild elephants from roaming out.

A bull elephant in rut from Khao Yai National Park apparently searchi0ng for its mate blocked the road in Prachin Buri on Sunday and looked likely to attack tourists’ cars, prompting park officials to use their vehicles as buffers between the aggressive male and tourists until the former eventually retreated into the forest.

Khao Yai National Park has instructed tourists on how not to anger wild elephants walking beside its roads.
