are the trains running ok? thinking about heading south to chumpon,

varies by route-this route still OK for time-but flood threastens part of l;ine west of BKK. Obviously you are not 1st to ask-a long thread and advice is on the Thaitravel forum part. As always: buses tend to be more flexible and are not that major a threat as so many TV posters tend to think

Thanks, forgot about the thai travel section.

trains to the south now suspended, because of some flooding of the tracks

trains resumed to the south, but running over submerged tracks, so slowly.

might stop running again at any time, so better to avoid
