progress on the new highway

[Joel Barlow]

The divided highway from the airport north to the road to ThaKhaoPluak is almost finished. I just rode my motorcycle up it to Golden Pine Resort, MaeKhaoTom and Ban PangLao. I was amazed to find stores, ATMs, a fresh-food market and a school with large playground. Along the new highway people were bicycling, jogging, playing badminton and generally enjoying themselves. It’ll soon be easy to get to Chiang Rung and Doi Luang (um, you know, the one over that way). This should take a lot of the heavy pressure off of Superhighway 1, which I have become wary of crossing! It means ChiangRai will continue to grow, for sure, but maybe we won’t get ChiangMai traffic just yet (let’s hope).

Nice to have a report because I haven’t had a reason to drive past the airport or on to the southern extension. Both ends look like they are still dirt and I am usually driving the wrong car to go explore dirt roads.

I use it regularly, from my side of town it's a dream connection to the airport and if I go to Home Pro it's the easiest way to the northern end of the city.

(I prefer quick to short).
