Travel To Bkk From Cm Today. Red Shirt Traffic On Highways

[uncletom]

Anybody have a clue how long it will take to get to BKK Chatuchack leaving Chiang Mai by bus at 6,7, or 8 tonight Saturday?

Normally it takes 10 hours, but with the numerous check points and red shirt traffic it is bound to be more. Anybody know someone who went , please tell their or your exprerience. Some of my wifes family are going for vacation and it unfortunately is at the same time of this uprising.

I would rather take a train to don muang - there would be checkings, but they are done on the train, so no delays. Really its's impossible to know how the situation on the roads will develop

I really do not expect any problem but then Im' going by bus from Surin to Chiang Mai tonight.

Train is the best bet

Knowing the Thai's penchance to tie up traffic if could end up being hel_l on the highways

Had family travelling South to BKK and they say it was he_l South of Chai Nat with the police roadblocks and miles of cars queued up for checks.

there is always space in the 3rd class.

you can ask the ticket inspector to be moved to another class, when the seat becomes available.
