Restoration Efforts Underway at Huay Kaew Waterfall

The Department of Water Resources, through its Office of Water Resources Region 1, has announced an active inspection and acceleration of the ecological restoration project at Huay Kaew Waterfall. Located in the Suthep sub-district of Chiang Mai’s Mueang district, this site is a well-known natural landmark for both local residents and visitors.

Why it matters

For travelers and residents, Huay Kaew Waterfall serves as a significant recreational area and a gateway to the Doi Suthep-Pui National Park. The ongoing restoration efforts are intended to improve the health of the local water ecosystem. While the department has confirmed that officials are currently on-site to monitor progress and expedite the work, the specific impact on visitor access remains to be clarified.

Status of the project

As of August 21, 2026, the authorities are focused on ensuring the project meets its conservation goals. Those planning to visit the area in the coming days should be aware that maintenance activities may be occurring. It is currently unconfirmed whether these restoration works will result in temporary closures or restricted access to certain parts of the waterfall area. Visitors are encouraged to check for local updates before planning their trip to ensure the site is fully accessible.
