Featured Replies

I have ben told, that the town about 50km from Phuket has a Muslim bombing a few months ago and it is getting dodgy for road bloc robberies in the national parks.

Is this true?

Which way do the buses goes these days ?

Should I go the more Eastern route ?

Thanks locals.

no idea about that but i drove back from bangkok a couple of weeks ago on the standard route via surat and nothing out of the ordinary

Change your sources, total nonsense.

    Bar Gossip, how did you guess !!!! But it got my attention. Was going to try something different to the Surat Thanie route and think I still will.

    Thanks for the replies.

    Be carefull of any other route I heard in the bar the otherday it was the only safe route to bkk :-)

    Quoting the OP: I have ben told, that the town about 50km from Phuket has a Muslim bombing a few months ago and it is getting dodgy for road bloc robberies in the national parks. Should I go the more Eastern route ?

    And I have been told the moon is made of cheese. Sounds like I am living in this town or quite close to it, and it is 100% nonsense, should not be on a web forum. Rumours are born so easily.

    Unless you are on a stagecoach, you will be fine as far as the highway robbers is concerned, in a car they cannot keep up with you.

    Just been to Nakhon Si Thammarat for a few days. No encounters with villains whatsoever. Not even the ones in uniform.

    Didn't this subject come up a few months ago? blink.png

    That highway is super notorious. I took a pic yesterday!

    It's not thieves or bombs that are the danger, but the state of the road itself...
