Doi Phu Kha National Park Establishes Emergency Center Amid Severe Flooding in Nan
Doi Phu Kha National Park has opened an emergency relief center at 'Lan Du Duean' following critical flooding and infrastructure damage in Nan province.
According to a report by Thai Post on August 19, 2026, Doi Phu Kha National Park in Nan province has established an emergency relief center at the 'Lan Du Duean' area. This action follows a period of heavy rainfall that triggered severe flash flooding and forest runoff in the region.
The flooding has caused significant infrastructure disruption, including reports of severed roads and widespread power outages. These conditions have created a challenging environment for both local residents and those currently in the area.
For travelers and residents, this situation is critical. The damage to road networks may severely restrict access to or from affected areas, and the loss of electricity could impact essential services and communication. Those currently in or planning to travel to Nan should exercise extreme caution, monitor local weather reports closely, and follow instructions from park authorities and local emergency services.
At this time, the full extent of the damage to the park's infrastructure and the duration of the power outages remain to be confirmed. Authorities are currently focused on managing the immediate needs of those affected by the disaster. Travelers are advised to avoid non-essential travel to the impacted zones until conditions stabilize and official updates are provided.
