Department of National Parks Announces Third Wave of Personnel Transfers
The Department of National Parks, Wildlife and Plant Conservation has ordered the transfer of 95 officials across several national parks in Thailand.
According to a report by Matichon Online on October 11, 2026, the Director-General of the Department of National Parks, Wildlife and Plant Conservation has signed an order reassigning 95 personnel to new posts. This marks the third major wave of transfers within the department.
The reassignments affect leadership and staff positions at several prominent national parks, including Sirinat, Namtok Phlio, Than Sadet, Khlong Kaeo, Phu Pha Man, and Phu Soi Dao. These administrative changes are part of the department's ongoing internal restructuring efforts.
For residents and travellers, these shifts in park management may lead to changes in administrative procedures or local park policies. While such transfers are standard bureaucratic practice within the Thai civil service, they can occasionally influence the day-to-day operations or the implementation of visitor regulations at specific sites.
At this time, the department has not provided specific details regarding the individual reasons for each transfer or how these changes might impact specific visitor services. Travellers planning to visit these national parks in the near future are advised to check official park announcements or contact the Department of National Parks directly if they have concerns regarding ongoing projects or specific park access. Further updates regarding the operational impact of these personnel changes remain to be confirmed.
