hands22 Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 I am flying in to Bangkok on 16th Nov. Will be travelling by car to Pattaya. If Rama 2 is expected to be heavily flooded next week, is it still possible to travel there by car? Any helpful advice is appreciated so that I can make alternative plan. Thanks.

Payboy Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Rama 2 Rama 2 road is the major route to the South. For Pattaya, you would take highway 7 from Suvarnabhumi airport, which until now is not flooded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BB1950 Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 (edited) If you are coming from southern Thailand, I doubt that you will make it through Bangkok. Rama 2 is the last major road open to Southern Thailand from Bangkok which is not flooded. Pattaya is considered to be to the East of Bangkok along with Suvarnabhumi airport. However who knows if the routes to Pattaya will be open next week. They are under threat of possible flooding near Suvarnabhumi airport. The government has not been very truthful. However, don't worry. Should Suvarnabhumi or access to the airport become flooded, I'm sure they would divert flights to Utapao airport near Sattahip. They did when the Yellow shirts occupied Suvarnabhumi airport. Edited November 9, 2011 by BB1950 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

londoedan Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 Hi Hands22, I arrive in SVB 2 days after you. I've also been keeping an eye on the news and understand that the airport is open, expected to stay open, and the toll road links to Pattaya are still clear, although very busy at the Sukh Rd end of the journey. If you have time, perhaps you could post again after arrival if you have any problems ? That would be a help to at least me ! Simon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hands22 Posted November 10, 2011 Author Share Posted November 10, 2011 Thanks to all who replied. Yes londoedan, if possible, I will write a short review of my little trip to Pattaya next week. I do wish you a safe and smooth trip too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
