Dumras Phoprasit said the ban has no clauses relating to simple meals being cooked, and boiling instant noodles or brewing coffee are still permitted under the rules, which target pungent odors.

The Department of National Parks, Wildlife and Plant Conservation (DNP) will impose new environmental protection rule that would ban visitors from cooking food with a strong odor, which affects nearby wild animals.

DNP’s National Park Office Director Dumras Phoprasit said the huge smoke from grilling food can also blanket the area, and the DNP has a responsibility to be a role model for maintaining environment.
