Landslide Blocks Key Route in Nan Province

One source

Heavy rainfall has triggered a landslide on the Pua-Doi Phu Kha National Park-Bo Kluea road, leading to a temporary closure.

According to a report from Matichon Online on July 31, 2026, severe weather conditions in Nan Province have resulted in a landslide that has obstructed the road connecting Pua District, Doi Phu Kha National Park, and Bo Kluea District.

For travelers and local residents, this route is a primary artery for accessing the scenic mountainous areas of the province. The landslide has effectively blocked passage, making the road impassable for vehicles. Authorities are currently advising motorists to avoid this specific route until further notice to ensure public safety and to allow for clearing operations.

While the immediate impact is the disruption of travel between these districts, the full extent of the damage to the road infrastructure remains to be confirmed. It is currently unclear how long the cleanup process will take or when the route will be reopened for normal traffic. Travelers planning to visit Doi Phu Kha National Park or transit through the Bo Kluea area are encouraged to monitor local updates and seek alternative routes if necessary. As of now, there have been no reports regarding casualties or specific damage to private property, but the situation remains fluid due to the ongoing rainy season in the region.
