After a group of travellers were discovered eating while wire in the Pai River, the government of Mae Hong Son state has demanded new regulations for customers.

A hotel proprietor in the Pai city of Mae Hong Son complained that the travellers were spending about ten hours a day in the river, which was causing environmental damage. &nbsp,

The travelers then walked around the resort village wearing just swimsuits, the issue continued, making citizens and other tourists miserable. A couple of visitors were discovered engaging in sexual activity in a confined area of the hotel, according to the Pai police station. &nbsp,

Drinking in water jugs

Provincial government Chuchip Pongchai convened a meeting on July 16 to explore new tourist restraints after receiving the complaint.

The county has previously outlawed the sale of alcohol to visitors who go tubing, floating down the river resting on the inside pipes of rubber tires. The majority of visitors adhere to the rules, but others, including some factory owners, defy them by disguising the liquor by stuffing it into water bottles. &nbsp,

Pai is one of the most popular places in Northern Thailand, drawing 40, 000 visitors a month and stimulating the Thailand’s financial growth. The Pai River has grown to be a particularly well-liked pastime for immigrants. However, the government claimed that the behavior of some tourists has endangered the reputation of the state. &nbsp,
