Hi guys,

Am going to have to travel from Bangkok to Chiang Mai and have been using all the resources here to find a route through.

As of now was thinking of taking Highway 1 through Meuang Lopburi and Saraburi before taking Highway 11 the rest of the way.

What I see on the road closure website, it seems possible.  But I would desperately love to hear from the more experienced heads here before putting myself in harm's way, or getting stranded.  Am planning to leave in 2-3 days time so any advice would be appreciated.

On that note, anyone know drivers that might be able to be hired to be a co-driver?  Unless of course someone knows a company that can transport my vehicle up to CM for me then I will just fly.  

Quite desperate for input.

I did Nakorn Ratchasima to CNX yesterday up the 2, 12 and 11 and there was no problems at all (outside of the usual slow pokes) - so if you can get yourself to Ratchasima it'll be a long drive, but bone dry.

Thanks MRO,

In the end I decided to forget about it and just fly.

I'm actually in Khon Kaen right now and had wanted to just get my car out of harm's way and join my family in Chiang Mai.

But everyone around me has pleaded with me not to take the risk.   So I'm heeding their pleas and heading up by air from Udorn Thani to CNX.  Praying my Pajero will fine on the 2nd floor of my condo parking.  hahaha.....

By the looks of it on that first link, I guess all the roads are fine now? It is not showing any green or red at the moment. I am going South from Chiang Mai to Ranong via Chai Nat starting tomorrow. Hopefully that Chai Nat area will be ok...
