Giant Boulder Collapses in Sichon Palm Plantation

According to a report by Thai Post on October 31, 2026, a significant rockslide occurred at Khao Hua Chang in the Sichon district of Nakhon Si Thammarat province. A giant boulder detached from the mountain and crashed into a local oil palm plantation. Fortunately, there were no reports of injuries or fatalities resulting from the incident. Local administrative officials have since arrived at the scene to inspect the damage and assess the structural stability of the surrounding terrain. As a precautionary measure, authorities have cordoned off the area to prevent public access, citing concerns over the potential for further landslides. For residents and visitors in the Sichon area, this event serves as a reminder of the geological risks associated with mountainous regions during or after periods of instability. While the immediate danger has been contained, officials are continuing to monitor the site closely to determine if additional rocks remain at risk of falling. Further updates regarding the long-term safety of the area are expected as geological assessments continue. Travelers are advised to follow instructions from local authorities and avoid restricted zones near the mountain base.
