Parched: Chiang Mai’s Huay Kaew waterfall dries up in severe drought

The severe drought has left a Huay Kaew waterfall, a popular attraction in Chiang Mai, as dry as a desert, according to visitors who flew up north during the long weekend.

“How did we get to the point where a waterfall has no water?” wrote Twitter user @Peaxto, who shared photos of the parched waterfall yesterday.

The Huay Kaew waterfall is approximately 10-meters high and its stream comes from a river in Doi Suthep National Park.

Near the waterfall is a 6-kilometer trekking route.
