Phu Langka National Park has the highest bookings among 118 national parks during the first two weeks of November, ahead of the country's reopening tomorrow, says the Department of National Park, Wildlife and Plant Conservation.
The parks are open under the Public Health Ministry's D-M-H-T-T-A (Distancing; Mask wearing; Hand washing; Temperature; Testing; Application Thaichana) preventive measure by allowing visitors to reserve visits in the park in advance via the QueQ app.
Between Nov 1 and 11, Phu Langka National Park has the highest rate of reservations with 4,269 bookings, followed by Phu Kradueng National Park (2,176), Ramkhamhaeng National Park (400), Phu Soi Dao National Park (383) and Khao Yai National Park (210).
Most visitors in Phu Langka National Park expect to see the Naga Cave, which features rock formations like giant snake scales with majestic waterfalls.
The Naga Cave, located in Bueng Khong Long district of Bueng Kan, was discovered last year, but closed for restoration after it was disfigured by visitors looking for lucky lottery numbers.
The reopening started initially with Mae Yom National Park in Phrae that was certified with a Safety & Health Administration (SHA) standard.
The department also told national park staff to come up with safety measures for visitors.
Meanwhile, Nattapon Nattasomboon, director-general of the Thai Meteorological Department (TMD), said Thailand officially will enter winter this Tuesday, with lowest temperature during the morning in the upper region.
The wind blowing across the region at a height of 100-3,500 metres, will change to a northeasterly or easterly wind, while winds at a height of 5,000 metres and over will become a western wind.
However, the weather in the upper region remains unpredictable which may result in slight rainfall. Heavy showers are still expected in the South, Mr Nattapon said.
