Doi Inthanon National Park Closes Trails Due to Heavy Rainfall
Doi Inthanon National Park has temporarily closed the Pha Dok Siew nature trail and Mae Ya Waterfall following persistent heavy rain in Chiang Mai.
According to a report by Prachachat Business on September 29, 2026, Doi Inthanon National Park has officially announced the temporary closure of the Pha Dok Siew nature trail and the Mae Ya Waterfall. This decision follows a period of continuous, heavy rainfall across the Chiang Mai province, which has led to concerns regarding the accumulation of water and potential safety hazards for visitors.
In addition to the park closures, the Department of Disaster Prevention and Mitigation (DDPM) has issued a Cell Broadcast alert for the Omkoi and Chom Thong districts. Residents and travelers in these areas are advised to remain vigilant due to the heightened risk of flash floods and landslides caused by the ongoing weather conditions.
For travelers and residents, this closure means that these specific attractions are currently inaccessible. It is important to monitor local weather updates and official announcements from the Department of National Parks, Wildlife and Plant Conservation before planning any trips to the region. At this time, it remains to be confirmed how long these closures will remain in effect, as the duration will likely depend on the stabilization of weather conditions and safety assessments conducted by park authorities.
