Sheryl Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 I know it's a straight shot down Rte 4 but wonder if there are any short cuts I can take to get onto Rte 4 south of the Bkk area so as to minimize the traffic? Departing from saklaya/Phuttamonthon area Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rixalex Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 Sheryl, from Salaya at the university, if you head straight down Phuttamonton Si 5, past the park, and continue on, you will reach Krathum Baen (after about 20mins), where the road intersects with the main road south. This is the shortest way of doing it, although coming through Krathum Baen can be a little congested, as there are a few red lights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2unique Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 Not sure if this is route you're thinking butt you can head straight over Puttamonthon Sai 4 and down the 3310 until you hit the 35 which brings you to the 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the shortest way of doing it, although coming through Krathum Baen can be a little congested, as there are a few red lights. admittedly I've only gone the Sai 5 route once as I come from Sai 3 but found it more confusing than Sai 4 which is a straight 3 lane shot to Samut Sakhon - a bit of 2 lane traffic to get around the roundabout then your back to 3 lanes on the 35.

Sheryl Posted May 12, 2012 Author Share Posted May 12, 2012 Thanks. I gather this means I turn right at Pekhasem? (was hoping to avoid it due to traffic ). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you go straight down Sai 4 you pass over Pekhasem, so as far as Pekhasem traffic is concerned, not an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over Petkasem and keep heading for Samut Salon - just stay right all the way, don't exit Posted with Thaivisa App http://apps.thaivisa.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
