rain again here all night,not as heavy as yesterday but constant  ,don't know wether to try and drive or stay ,no one has reported on road closures and hard to find information,news just shows pics of floods ,no info on roads closed etc.

has been raining all night in Surat Thani, have been told(seen pics) the road to Bangkok is un-passable(washed out) and the road south is also un-passable. My wife has had her friends post pics of the roads in the area and its not good, a few of them also have their houses flooded.

It's OK down in Hat Yai, problem areas on the road are around Thung Song and Phatthalung. You could go the long way round via Krabi, Trang and Satun - no flooding on the west coast.

Hi all ,we made it .

just got here from Don Sak,to Hat Yai ,left at around 11am ,the road between don sak and Surat is bad but passable.

from there about half way down around Tung Song was bad ,had to use the other side of the road ,bridge is out but have made a temp one and will ready soon .

next bad spot is one hundred kilometres north of Hat Yai ,drive through water for a few ks ,army is there directing traffic ,other side of the road is a river .

but u can make it ,we did it in a sedan .water does get deep in spots but good if u can drive right up a busses arse .

stay safe ,if you think it looks to deep or fast flowing DONT risk it.

my friend was driving from hua hin to phuket this a.m., said the main highway is blocked  just south of prachuap. i think they have gone to find a hotel rather than wait.

 

rain stopped in phuket yesterday.
