Khao Laem National Park closed Gerung Krawei Waterfall on August 24 due to severe flooding and rockfalls following heavy rain in Kanchanaburi's Sangkhla Buri district. The park will reopen once water levels recede and conditions stabilize.
The director of Khao Laem National Park temporarily closed Gerung Krawei Waterfall on August 24 following severe flooding and falling rocks, with officials urging visitors to be cautious. Sakhon Supsai, head of Khao Laem National Park in Kanchanaburi, announced the temporary closure of the waterfall area in Prang Poel subdistrict, Sangkhla Buri district, after days of continuous heavy rain caused water to surge with cloudy discharge flowing into the Vajiralongkorn Dam reservoir. The connecting bridge used for sightseeing was partially damaged by the strong current. To protect visitors, the park has shut the waterfall area and will reopen as soon as water levels recede and conditions stabilize. The park's café, food stalls, drinks vendors, and restrooms remain open to the public. Visitors can track water level updates on the Khao Laem National Park Facebook page.
