Gimbo

More like a holldiday month. We used to live up there, but Life called me back to the home country, so I have not been to Thailand for over ten years. But we (wife) has a house in the village were we lived, and she and the kids have been there. But due to covid even her has not been in Thailand for over 4 years. We were all set to go when the world locked down. So this is the big family get together and let the kids meet grandma.... But wife has a brother in Chon Buri, so we stay there a few days to rest after the flights. Takes us 3 travel days to get to Bangkok. then we drive up, becosue I simply love to drive, and I would like to see those bits of Thailand agaion instead of fly over it. And wife wants to do some shopping, egt a spa tretament etc before we head into the sticks...

@MJCM, thansk for the tips. They where building that road approachiung the hills when l last drove up there. Got stopped for speeding, and let of with a warning as we came down from the hills on the korat side, lol extreme politeness from me and a few jokes from my wife that made them laugh helped I think 555

Thanks. As we start from Bang Saen, so the natural route for uss is the 304 up to Korat. Wife wants to stop for some shopping. And then take the 24 or 226 across to Buri Ram. Avoid rush our , okay ???? We'll probably avoid it by waiting it out in Korat, get som food and presents for the kids etc... ????

Hey, Driving up to Buri Ram from Chon Buri mid next week. Wondering about the road condtions? Have not been that way for ten years. Any road works to avoid? Floods? etc? Bothersome police check points? Any recomendations for a place to stop for lunch and sights to see en route is also apreciated ????
