Tourists barred from visiting Chok Kradin Waterfall, a popular attraction in Kanchanaburi
The Chok Kradin Waterfall in Kanchanaburi, Thailand, has been temporarily closed to tourists due to the risk of flash floods caused by heavy rains. The authorities, including Thong Pha Phum National Park, have advised visitors to avoid the area until further notice.
The closure is a result of significant rises in water levels and murky water conditions observed at the waterfall, indicating potential danger from run-offs caused by continuous downpours. For safety, tourists should keep clear of the waterfall area until official reopening announcements are made.
As of early August 2025, no reopening date has been provided publicly, indicating that monitoring is ongoing. The authorities have stated that the waterfall will reopen only once the situation returns to normal, prioritizing visitor safety.
This closure affects tourist visits to the Chok Kradin Waterfall, a popular destination in Kanchanaburi. The TDRI sees Thai Airways' turnaround as a blueprint for state enterprise reform, but the recent events at the waterfall serve as a reminder of the need for constant vigilance in managing natural attractions.
