paul1970 Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 I will be flying out of Swampy Sunday and was wondering if there any expected delays between Pattaya and Swampy due to the Red shirt protests ? I would imagine that the motorway would be clear up to Swampy and maybe just some longer than usual delays at Swampy for security checks. Anybody flown out of Swampy in the last few days experience any delays ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farangpattaya Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 Left Thailand on 8-4-2010 and no significant delays. The exits from the motorways are just checked and controlled by BIB and army. In the evening (rush-hour) a few minutes delay may occur. No delays at the airport terminals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monty Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 No delays getting to the airport, only at the moment it's becoming a bit of a mess at the airport with a very large portion of the Europe bound flights being canceled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BWPattaya Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 We flew out last night. No problems getting to the airport. Make sure your destination airport is open though, many places closed until Saturday at least. The backlog is terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NanLaew Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 I left Pattaya at 3pm on Thursday and was parked up and inside by 4.30pm; didn't push it sat about 100 kph max. I did observe a higher volume of cars and pickups headed north than usual and the left-exit ramp where it joins the motorway was a bit dodgy with stuff racing down the outside and cutting in. There's always one or two doing that but more prevalent yesterday so maybe better to get over to the left lane early-ish. The (2) tollways are free but you need to watch out for those that can't read the big sign or find themselves in a closed lane and change to a green lane at the last minute. The service station was chockers as well (had to stop to fill up the rental) but in and out from the pumps really quick. Most travelers were stopping to graze. Safe trip!
