there are a number of reports and news items on the floods but i cant see if the 11, 1, 33, 304, 314 are effected. does anyone in the area have an update on the status of these roads etc

I have a friend just arrived by bus from Nong Khai to Nakon Rathasima to Rayong (via chonburi and pattaya (no.3) She said have a lot of water on the highway #2 and many cars stuck. How much water, I dont know. But suspect not good on a bike?? Chonburi to Pattaya I think no problem, we have not had much rain here.

l would just go matey all part of the fun of the ride and there is always someone to tell you a way around the flooding.

Just throw your timetable out the window and ride to it. :jap:

cheers kwasaki, thats the basic plan anyway but would change route in advance if route was known to be impassible

A friend has just driven to Korat from Pattaya, he reports that there are big floods on the 304 south of Korat, seen the pictures and wouldn't want to try it on a bike. Near Chockchai area I think.
