Landslide Blocks Pua-Bo Kluea Road in Nan Province
A landslide has obstructed Highway 1256 in Nan Province, prompting authorities to advise motorists to avoid the area.
On July 31, 2026, a significant landslide occurred on Highway 1256, specifically along the route connecting Pua District, Doi Phu Kha National Park, and Bo Kluea District in Nan Province. According to reports from Khaosod Online Thailand, the incident took place at kilometer marker 26+000, where mud and debris have completely blocked the roadway.
The Nan Highway District 2 has officially requested that the public avoid using this route while emergency crews work to clear the obstruction and restore traffic flow. For residents and travelers in the region, this closure is significant as it disrupts a primary access point to the national park and the Bo Kluea area, which are popular destinations for tourism and local transit.
At this time, it remains to be confirmed how long the cleanup operations will take and when the road will be reopened for safe passage. Travelers planning to visit the Doi Phu Kha National Park or travel between Pua and Bo Kluea are advised to monitor updates from the Nan Highway District 2 or local disaster prevention and mitigation offices for the latest information on road accessibility. Authorities have not yet provided an estimated timeline for the completion of the clearing efforts.
