Phuket To Khon Kaen By Car

[patongphil]

Anyone know where I can find info on which roads are flooded. Intend to travel up to Cha am on the 21st and then on to Khon Kaen on the 22nd.

Any info or help much appreciated.

Saraburi (Highway 2/Highway 1) area was reportedly a mess a couple of days ago. Your go-to diversion would be highway 304 (Kabinburi to Korat). There have been reports that it is slow going north bound over the hills (it usually is) and I noticed the nothbound traffic traffic was a bit more tailed back behind slow grinding lorries than usual as I came southbound this pm (Tuesday). At least you lnow that you are going to get through though. Sorry I can't help with the best route to get from BKK to Kabinburi though - I went on down to Jomtien. If you need to steer well clear of Northwestern Bangkok and Nakon Nayok then you will certainly be safe going down the BKK-Chonburi motorway and turning left past Chahchongsao and picking up the 304 a little further south from Kabinburi.

See the other thread today on this subject - maybe that guy can shed light on routes to avoid getting to the 304 from BKK

Off hand, I would say up to Saraburi Hwys 4 - 35 - 9 - 1 - 2 you would be ok. North of there it will be a few days before everything will be sure.
