Sky Walk attraction in Kanchanaburi temporarily closed one day after its official opening

[Coss]

The latest tourist attraction in Thailand’s western province of Kanchanaburi, the Sky Walk, which is a transparent walkway over the famous River Kwai, was closed yesterday (Sunday), only one day after it was opened to the public, due to the shortage of special shoes, which all visitors are required to purchase and wear.

On its Facebook page, the Kanchanaburi Municipality apologised for the temporary closure, offering an assurance that the pedestrian bridge, which was formally opened at 9.09am on Saturday, will reopen this Thursday.

According to the normal schedule, the bridge is open to the public from 9am until 6pm with six tours of one hour each. The bridge can accommodate 100-120 people at a time. Each visitor will have to pay 60 baht for a pair of special shoes, to be worn when walking on the bridge, which they can take home.

 

note* After the tour there is a bin, where visitors can discard their special shoes, should they not wish to keep them. None of these discarded shoes will be resold...

Hi,

"which they can take home"

Never to use them again.
Just fucking rent them out so they can be re-used.

Sanuk!

At 60THB a pop most likely to be single use disposable overshoes as used in Hospitals, Clean Rooms etc than actual shoes like bowling shoes which will set you back at least 3,000THB
