    DNP announces the closure of Phu Kradueng National Park during Jun-Sep

    DNP announces the closure of Phu Kradueng National Park during Jun-Sep

    BANGKOK, 19 June 2010 (NNT) – The National Parks, Wildlife and Plant Conservation (DNP) Department announces the closure of Phu Kradueng National Park from June to September.

    The period during June to September is the rainy season which is dangerous for tourists. For safety, the Head of Phu Kradueng National Park therefore has announced the closure of the Park and every tourism activity from 1 June to 30 September 2010.

    This closure period is also favorable for the environment around the Park to regenerate, while officials can make an adjustment for the place and facilities to be available for tourists in the next season as well.

    Phu Kradueng National Park, located in Loei province is one of famous tourism sites in Thailand. It is the first national park of the country, abundant in flora and fauna, with a host of visitors setting up tents to climb the mountain each year.

    Mountain you hike up with a plateau on the top beautiful and cool at sunrise or set. Loei is a wonderful and unknown province.

    it's a ok park : far too many people and concrete to my taste. I'd recommend you guys to visit Phu Reua : both park entrances are very near to each other, but this park is less 'famed', and thus much more quiet.

    Great to see pine forests in Thailand, and quite cool during raining season.


    Makes it a good destination this year as Phu Kradeung is closed

    Some further information on Phu Kradueng.

    "In 1943, the RFD began turning its attention to conservation and efforts to manage certain forests for the public's recreational use. The department established Phu Kradueng National Park in Loei province. However, due to World War II and very limited budgets and trained personnel, the park project was shelved."

    I do not see how you can say that. Must be at least 80 km between the two entrances

    when you come from wherever (Bkk, Chiang Mai, KK, etc...), 80km dont matter. + you need to take the same road.

    Loei is slap bang between the two. Wang Saphung is about 25 km from Phu Kradueng. Phu Rua has a little vilage.
