Khao Yai National Park Reopens for Tourism and Camping
Khao Yai National Park has officially reopened its gates to visitors and campers as of October 6, 2026, following a period of closure.
According to a report by Matichon Online, Khao Yai National Park has resumed operations for tourism and overnight stays starting October 6, 2026. This reopening allows visitors to access the majority of the park's facilities and natural attractions after a temporary closure.
For travelers and residents planning a visit, this announcement marks the return of one of Thailand's most popular natural destinations. While the park is now open for general tourism and camping, visitors should be aware that certain specific areas remain inaccessible. The park management has explicitly stated that the Pha Trom Jai cliff, Pha Diao Dai cliff, and Kaeng Hin Phoeng rapids are currently excluded from the reopening and remain closed to the public.
It is recommended that those planning a trip check for any further updates or specific park regulations before arrival, as conditions in national parks can change due to weather or maintenance requirements. As of now, no specific timeline has been provided regarding when the restricted areas—Pha Trom Jai, Pha Diao Dai, and Kaeng Hin Phoeng—will be reopened to visitors. Travelers are advised to monitor official announcements from the Department of National Parks, Wildlife and Plant Conservation for the latest information on these specific sites.
