The common Phu Kradueng hills in Loei province will be reopened next Monday after a wild elephant’s deadly assault on a visitor led to its new closure.

Attapon Charoenchansa, director-general of the office, said on Tuesday that the reopening was scheduled after security measures were planned to defend tourists to the northern tourist destination.

Guests will be contacted via a LINE chat software area, where they will be informed of safety instructions and any instructions about potential danger from wild elephants, he claims.

Each customer will also be required to pay a 10-baht healthcare premium for 300, 000-baht policy.

Tourists must travel in a group of at least three people, stay on designated trails, and merely enter designated areas.

To secure a two-kilometer radius of each tourist’s region, park rangers may use quick-movement teams to deploy.

Because they previously attracted exotic animals, there won’t be any garbage bins on Phu Kradueng, according to Mr. Attapon.

After the Dec. 11 death of a guest there, he closed Phu Kradueng next Friday.
