Puppa Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 I should go from Bangkok to Chiang Mai tomorrow and return on Tuesday, traveling by bus. Will the roads still be passable or will they already be clogged with the end-of-year exodus? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dmaxdan Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 I would imagine that those days would be a bit early for the end of year exodus. From Friday 29th onwards would be the time to avoid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have a sad habit of overturning as opposed to returning. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KhunBENQ Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 Return on 26th should be "normal" (9 to 11 hour ride). You must be fit to take such a trip within three days on a bus. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most do make it - but use of single level bus is a lot less stress when rounding a corner or making a U-turn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post malt25 Posted December 24, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted December 24, 2023 The train from BKK to CM, overnight, is enjoyable. Select the bottom bunk, it's a bit wider. I've done it a few times. Just a thought. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
