Mr Thiti said it was decided to close the national park waterfall indefinitely until the amount of water returned normal. He said Huay Mae Khamin usually generated about 3 million baht per year, 2 million baht in the month of April alone. Despite the closure of Huay Mae Khamin, the park is still providing other services, including camping and lodging, and tourists can visit the park free of entry charges.
