Phu Kradueng National Park in Loei province reopened on December 23 after being closed for over 10 days. Starting from 5:00 AM, tourists from across Thailand arrived to explore the park. Before being allowed to proceed, visitors were briefed on safety measures related to wild elephants and other precautions. Those unable to answer safety-related questions were not permitted to enter. Additionally, the park introduced an open-line chat service for efficient communication with staff.
At 6:29 AM, the park was officially reopened for its second session this year, with ceremonies led by Deputy Director-General of the Department of National Parks, Veera Khunchairak, and Loei Deputy Governor Prayoon Aranyarat. Around 400 tourists were among the first to ascend Phu Kradueng that morning.
