The Department of National Parks, Wildlife, and Plant Conservation announced on Thursday that the common Phu Kradueng hills in Loei territory has been closed to tourists after a visitor was mortally attacked by a crazy rhinoceros.

Due to the elephant’s return to customers ‘ place it on Tuesday, which was in rut and suspected of killing a Thai woman, Director-general Attapon Charoenchansa ordered the shutdown for public health.

He claimed that about 700 current customers were told to leave the pile in the northern province on Thursday.

During the shutdown, area rangers would travel wild elephants apart from tourist areas, Mr Attapon said.

” I also can’t predict how long it will be closed. He said it might be closed until the circumstances are under control.

He intends to meet with park rangers and scientists in Phu Kradueng on Monday of the following year to discuss the issue. The aim is to find solutions to problems between wild animals and the people who live nearby on Phu Kradueng and abroad.
