Loei residents advocate for Phu Kradueng cable car project
Residents of Loei province are urging the government to advance a long-discussed cable car project for Phu Kradueng National Park. Local support is strong, with over 90% of residents in favor, and banners have been displayed across the province. The project has been proposed for years, with past interest from former Prime Ministers Thaksin and Yingluck Shinawatra. However, recent criticism highlights a lack of coordination under the current government, which has delayed progress. Dasta, the agency now tasked with the project, is moving forward. An environmental impact assessment is underway, and a budget of 28 million baht is under review. Construction is expected to begin soon after the design phase is completed.
