Uttaradit national park shut for 6 months to rehabilitate itself
The Phu Soi Dao National Park in Uttaradit’s Nam Pat district will be closed to tourists for six months, so nature can rehabilitate itself, an announcement said.
Sarawut Mahathanakhom, the park’s chief, announced on Saturday that the park will be closed from January 10 to June 30.
The park chief reasoned that seasonal forest fires are normally sparked this time of the year, so it will become dangerous for tourists.
He also said that this would be a good time for nature to rest and heal itself from human activities.
The park in the North of Thailand is closed for six months annually and reopens on July 1.
