Pha Mo E-Daeng Reopens to Tourists After Border Conflict Closure
Khao Phra Wihan National Park has reopened the Pha Mo E-Daeng cliff area in Sisaket province following a 16-month closure due to border tensions.
On October 17, 2026, the Pha Mo E-Daeng cliff in Sisaket province officially reopened for a trial period, welcoming visitors for the first time in one year and four months. The site had been closed since July 24, 2025, due to military clashes along the Thai-Cambodian border.
Local reports from Khaosod Online indicate that the reopening has drawn significant crowds eager to view the natural scenery, including the forest canopy, mountain ranges, and morning mist. Popular attractions such as the 'Lan Hug' and 'Lan Kod' viewpoints, as well as the Don Tuan Castle, are once again accessible. Visitors can reach the main viewing area via a short 30-meter walk from the parking lot.
To ensure safety and order, officials from the Khao Phra Wihan National Park, the Border Patrol Police, the Suranari Task Force, and local administrative authorities have established registration and information checkpoints at Ban Phum Srol, Sao Thong Chai sub-district, Kantharalak district.
While the site is currently in a trial reopening phase, travelers are advised that the situation remains subject to local security assessments. Visitors should check for the latest updates from park authorities before planning their trip, as access may be subject to change based on regional stability.
