Tardmok waterfall at the Doi-Suthep-Pui National Park will be spared tourist lines, at least for a while. A proposal to build a zip line to attract large numbers of visitors has been flatly turned down. (Photo via Facebook/Tardmok Fall)The National Park, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Department (NPWPCD) has rejected a company's request to operate a tourism business offering adventure activities in Doi Suthep-Pui National Park and Mae Rim National Reserved Forest. The zip line activity is offered elsewhere in Chiang Mai as well as in Phuket and Krabi. Last year, a Chinese tourist fell to his death while gliding on a zip line in Chiang Mai due to faulty safety equipment.
