Full Speed Ahead: Upcoming Cable Car Project in Phu Kradueng National Park
Money finally secured for construction of urban cable car system
Wanna know what's been buzzing in Loei's Phu Kradueng National Park? The cable car project's picked up some serious steam! The Department of National Parks, Wildlife and Plant Conservation (DNP) just got the green light with a 25.7-million-baht budget for the initial design. 📈
Fun fact: The proposed route might kick off at Pha Mak Dook with the first phase clocking in at up to a whopping one billion baht. 💲💸 But hold your horses, a second phase focusing on facility enhancements and an environmental impact study will follow suit. 🔍🌱
Locals are generally stoked about the project, though they might lose access to wildlife zones, especially those with pesky elephants. 😅 Hey, can't make an omelette without breaking some elephant-tusks, right? On a brighter note, safari-style tours could be in the cards to bring in more curious travelers. 🦉🚗
Now, here's where it gets interesting: the DNP plans to adopt a single-tower design for the cable car to leave a lighter footprint on the forest. 🌲 And what about those elderly tourists who tire easily? Fear not, as a small-scale electric train system is in the works for easier travel on the mountain top. 🚃🌟
Long story short, we're hiking with history in this one! Buckle up, folks, it's gonna be an exciting ride! 🚀🎢
The upcoming cable car project in Phu Kradueng National Park might not only change the lifestyle and business opportunities for locals but also attract more travelers to the region. While the initial design of the cable car costing 25.7 million baht is in progress, the anticipated first phase could cost up to one billion baht, requiring attention to finance matters and environmental impact studies.
