The Department of National Parks, Wildlife and Plant Conservation will reopen popular Phu Kradueng mountain in Loei province to visitors next Monday, Dec 23.
It was closed last Friday after an elephant killed a visitor walking a trail on Dec 11.
Director-general Attapon Charoenchansa said new safety measures were planned to protect visitors to the northeastern tourist attraction.
Visitors will be registered and invited to a LINE chat app room where they will be informed of safety guidelines and any warnings of possible danger from wild elephants.
Each visitor will also be required to pay a 10-baht insurance premium for 300,000-baht coverage.
Tourists must walk in a group of at least three people and stay on specified trails and in permitted areas only.
Rapid-movement teams of park rangers will be deployed to secure a two-kilometre radius of every tourist locale.
There will be no garbage bins on Phu Kradueng because they have been found to attract wild elephants, Mr Attapon said.
