The package included a note: “You forgot something at Khao Yai National Park.”

Earlier this week, Thailand’s natural resources and environment minister shared a new way of dealing with tourists who leave behind their trash: mailing it back to them.

Varawut later posted that the government will take strict measures to blacklist visitors who damage national parks or are noisy and disruptive. He cited two recent examples of bad behavior, including the offending group of tourists who left garbage in their rented tent at Khao Yai, and a group of allegedly drunken tourists who camped at Namtok Samlan National Park.

[An American in Germany broke quarantine to barhop, officials say. Then her coronavirus test came back positive.] After closing during the coronavirus pandemic, Khao Yai reopened July 1 with new protocols in place, limiting capacity at the more than 837-square-mile park to 5,000 visitors.
