EL159 Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 Why are people asked to avoid roads which are nowhere near the venue?! Canal Road, OK, but the other two are miles away! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saraphee Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 The Parade Route? It's an Irrigation Forum - they need a flotilla on the Ping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMBob Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 1200 visitors expected? Given most of them will be likely using public transport of some kind (likely a lot of vans), it would seem to me that this would hardly qualify as more than a slight bump in the traffic issues. Absent long chains of vehicles in escorted police tours, I doubt if most of us will even notice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mania Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 (edited) Does this have anything to do with the new road block on Chang Klan yesterday? It is the type you usually see on longer drives to other provinces Where they briefly ask the driver a Q or 2 They are set up yesterday right after intersection of Lanna Palace coming from Ratilana Spa direction I saw it & did not want to test anything So turned left up Ragang road to avoid it I have never seen a road block in that area so was surprised Edited November 6, 2016 by mania Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KhonKaenKowboy Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 Traffic was horrible up Suthep Rd., Friday night and all day Saturday. All the side sois were jammed. Walking faster than driving/parking? Happens all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmsally Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 I think all the "water guys" are staying at the Shangri La and Meridien - blocks around that area. Another one on LoiKhroh , just before Meridien Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
