Moo Si Police Issue Warning to Khao Yai Entrance Photographers
Local police have cautioned photographers operating at the Khao Yai National Park entrance following public complaints regarding their activities.
On August 3, 2026, officers from the Moo Si Police Station in Pak Chong district summoned two photographers for a formal warning after receiving complaints from the public regarding their operations at the entrance to Khao Yai National Park.
According to a social media post by an officer, the police addressed the photographers to ensure their activities align with proper regulations. The photographers, associated with the '123 Photo' page, clarified that they only post images of clients who have explicitly purchased the photos and consented to their publication. They emphasized that no images are posted publicly without prior permission from the subjects.
For travelers and residents, this incident highlights the ongoing monitoring of commercial activities in public areas near the national park. The photographers have stated that individuals who feel uncomfortable with their presence or wish to have photos removed can contact them directly via their page or through their team at the site. They also noted that those who do not wish to be photographed can signal them accordingly. While the police have provided guidance on proper conduct, it remains to be confirmed if further regulatory measures will be implemented to govern photography services at this popular tourist gateway.
