Driving From Chiang Mai To Bkk And South

[shepsel]

I am planning to drive down to BKK this weekend--and am concerned about the roads being flooded in the central region. Is there a site to go which tells the road conditions, regarding flooding, etc?

Thanks, in advance.

Fly down , its hopeless.if you can get a seat.

http://flood.gistda.or.th/ is good

Also has information of expected situation 3 to 5 days from now. I would research carefully if I were you, don't be surprised if trip takes 24hrs+ or double that even

I'm off to Loei in a couple of hours, I'll get there, will I get back to Bangkok on Sunday?

Good Luck

CM to BKK will be a very long drive next few days or a week, if possible at all. Ordinary Highways closed, alternative routes so far open

usually I advice to call HighwayPolice on 1153, able to give advice in Thai language, but in this case thats no point the next 5-7 days as its all over media roads are already closed

as bridges over rivers/klongs may collaps at any time, also the alternative routes can be closed at any time

as we now have a Pinned Topic at the top of page one here in ThaiVisa Motoring covering this, I close this Topic
