Fastest Way To Buriram From Bangkok.

[macknife]

Making a trip on the bike to Meuang Buriram from Bangkok. So what's the fastest way?

I know to take highway 1 and then on to 2 but then the road splits. So do I go on the 24 route that will take me through Nang Rong etc or do I take the 226 through Nakorn Rachisima?

The 226 looks like the shorter distance but would it take longer because of travelling through NR?

Anyone know?

IMO 24 to Nang Rong then north on 218 to Buriram. All new double road on 24.

Thanks guys, thought as much.

Do they have any BIB check points on the way?

Yes. Places vary. Drive safely.

Edit - usually close to BIB posts.

Revive!!!!

Now I'm coming back from Buriram.

The problem is flooding. I'm guessing highway 2 to 1 isn't an option anymore.

How's the 304? Anyone know? And if I do take it how long is the journey?
