Can anyone tell me if it is safe enough to drive through Prachuap Khiri khan and Hua Hin to BKK. Is Highway 4/41 safe for vehicle? My plan is to drive up next 2 days.

Tks

Main road should be fine Cliff. It's pretty much all drained away now.

If it's sunny, the media will report a serious drought problem; if it rains, they'll say we're having the worst storm in 46 years with serious flooding. Read the newspapers very critically; remember the guy writing the stories is sitting inside a cubicle bored to tears. That said, it's a beautiful morning in Hua Hin! Come on down!
