Khao Yai residents and local authorities are worried about potential traffic chaos during the upcoming Big Mountain music festival in December. The festival, which has been moved to a new venue in Pak Chong district, is expected to attract hundreds of thousands of visitors. At a recent meeting of the Inspection and Follow-up Committee for Police Administration, concerns were raised about the impact on local traffic conditions.
The original festival venue, near a golf course, caused severe traffic jams in the past due to its four-lane road, which already experiences long jams during peak times. The new venue has only two lanes for traffic in opposite directions, exacerbating the issue. Many local villages rely on Thanarat Road to access the national park and market, and the road will also be used by festival-goers and staff.
The committee highlighted the need for a clear traffic management plan, including entry and exit routes, to prevent congestion along Thanarat Road. Superintendent Pol. Col. Chukiat Kaew-at of Moo Si Police Station emphasized that this will be the first major music festival under the station's jurisdiction, and that a comprehensive plan is essential to ensure public safety and order.
