hi,

my wife and 2 year old daughter are flying over to bkk next week 25th oct. i am not with them to travel and help her out so what i want to know is if the roads are open from bkk to isaan ( no 2 rd from bkk to udon thani ) wondering whether to book her a flight now with domestic airline from swampy to udon ? what do you think , take a chance on the floods exceeding ?

CHEERS

Take a look in the domestic news forum. I think there's a story with info on what roads are closed.

Hopefully by the time your family gets here the highways, at least, will be okay.

Roads are defitely open at this time.

Buses from BKK arriving in KKC, seen on my last visit on Saturday.

From Suv. by car via 7/9/1/2 is no problem.

Problems on highway 1 are further north.

Can't tell you wheter there is any problem to get from Suv. to Morchit (?) if one wants to use a bus.

You can not use Highway 1 but can use outer ring road to route 305 to bypass flooded area or use route 304. But as more floodwater's are diverted to the Eastern area these could become impassable at some point so I would high recommend flight to Udon.

Up until yesterday and one way or another bus's from the Mochit bus terminal are making it to Udon and regional centers.

i have just taken the bus from sida, which is about 1hour south of khon kaen, to bangkok and although it took at different route it just added 1 hour to the journey.

Ahh! I stand corrected then, Thanks for clearing that up.
