Tropicalevo Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 It was closed when I rode by 4 or 5 days ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tropicalevo Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 (edited) They are putting in drainage - it always floods there and it looks like they might be making a direct road to Chaweng??? We can but dream. The area marked in red is/was the closed section. Edited April 28 by Tropicalevo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Can samui Posted April 28 Author Share Posted April 28 Cheers evo, do you know if the route to the airport is open or if the entire intersection is closed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I rode by, just the road next to the Chinese graves was totally closed. That's where it floods if we ever get any rain again. The road from Bandon to Chaweng was open. Best to go up to Cocoon if coming from Chaweng or go via the arrivals hall if heading to departures. Edited April 28 by Tropicalevo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tropicalevo Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 Quick update - I rode by there again this morning - the road works are more extensive but the road is still clear coming from Bandon to the temple/Chaweng. You just cannot get to the airport via the road with the Chinese graves. Definitely extending that road to probably come out by the roundabout near Tops. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are doing it. Excavators working on both sides of the Bandon road clearing the land. To get to the airport from the Bandon road, you have to go back into Chaweng (past the temple school) and out towards Choengmon and then turn back down at Cocoon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Can samui Posted April 30 Author Share Posted April 30 Was out there today and went down Ghost Road at the 7/11 intersection to Bangrak, into arrivals and down the service road to departures. Thanks all for the updates. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
