Overflow from the Lam Takhong River and runoff from Soong Nern and Kham Talay Sor districts have flooded the municipal area of Thailand’s north-eastern province of Nakhon Ratchasima for the second time in less than a month.

 

The bypass road, the main artery to the other north-eastern provinces, is so heavily flooded today (Tuesday) that small vehicles from Bangkok, heading for provinces via Nakhon Ratchasima, are advised to use an alternative route, by using the See Kiew elevated road toward Chok Chai district, and back onto the Friendship Road in Jor Hor district.

 

Conversely, vehicles heading for Bangkok through Nakhon Ratchasima are advised to use Sai Chor Road through Jor Hor heading towards Chok Chai district and onto the See Kiew elevated road.

The day I went, it was not busy.. or so I thought.  I hopped on the tram.  I was the only falang and there was just one or two Thai couples.  The Tram went to the next stop and wham!  dozens and dozens of school kids got on!  One of the two teacher chaperons spoke English and were a hoot to chat with.  A few of the older kids were not that shy and we talked a bit in Thai, just the usual, what's your name, where you from, etc.  I told them I was an engineer in Thai.  I could hear the other kids asking the girl what I said, etc.  

   For the rest of the tour, you hop off and hop on as you drive to various exhibits and walk around a bit.  Being the only farang I got a lot of looks.   At the end I hopped off the tram and all the kids stood up and waved bye.  Cute.  I remember as a kid how fun and different some outings were and to be out of the class room for a day.

 

 

It is a nice air con bus ride from Pattaya to there.  Scenic
