Soi Sauce Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 Son in Korat has been hospitalised and I'm Planning to ride up early tomorrow, 11th, early morning. Can anyone give me any details about the driveability of the main road from Bkk to Korat City. Plan to go thru Saraburi and take the Buri Ram Road past the dam near Pak Chong. Thanks.

lopburi3 Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 Have not seen any reports of problems before the turn off this side of city - latest report is bridge at river closed to all traffic so need to use bypass going North but going to NorthEast should be OK.

lopburi3 Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 up early tomorrow, 11th Not sure how 11th comes into play but if you have not made the trip see KM 10-15 of Highway 2 outside of Saraburi as under water on map yesterday so suspect alternative route would be required for that section.

Kwasaki Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 (edited) up early tomorrow, 11th Not sure how 11th comes into play but if you have not made the trip see KM 10-15 of Highway 2 outside of Saraburi as under water on map yesterday so suspect alternative route would be required for that section. There's a pinned topic on the ' Thailand Motor forum ' I think it should be on every forum at this time of trouble with flooded roads and areas.
