Any news of Rama II flooded?

No, not yet but probably within a couple of days.
One major paper reports today that FROC decided that they would not try to prevent water flow onto Rama 2 Road.  They said instead that they will drain water from Route 340/Bong Bua Thong-Supan Buri Road so that people can get to the South via Ratchburi.
Good luck getting to 340 if you're now in Thonburi so if you want to travel south, better leave soon LOL.
Also, no word on what will be the new makeshift bus terminal since Holland Beer Hall won't be useable.

Howe to get from Suvarnabhumi to the 340?

The options through Northern Bangkok or Nonthaburi all go through currently flooded areas... Maybe another poster can help with which roads are still passable.  
When do you plan to travel?  I think Rama 2 Road will be OK through at at least Monday and Route 340 hasn't been drained yet.  
I  would expect the airport will have something set up to help people with available detours.

I'm landing Thursday next week and I was planing to go to Ratchaburi in rented SUV.

Have to drive from Huahin to Pattaya this Friday,just seen an SMS from Thai visa that Phetkasem highway from Phetkasem soi 50 Krathumban district in Samut Sakhon has been closed due to high water levels...I believe this is part of  my route....has anyone driven thru this area today or know of any  dry roads into Bangkok to connect to the expressway?
If you go NOW, you could take highway 35 (RamaII) in to Kanchanapisek Rt.9 then on to the elevated BKK-Chonburi expressway.
Rama II might be flooded by Friday.

I'm going next week from Suvarnabhumi to Ratchaburi. If Borommatchachonnani (338). Phetkasem (4) and Rama II (35) is flooded, are there any options?

I always take this:

Motorway towards Bangkok (7)
South on ring road (9). I thin sign say Samut Prakan
Road 338 west sign say Nakhon Pathom. You can take road 4 but have slow traffic.
On to road 4 past Nakhan Pathom
On to 323 to Kanchanaburi.

2½ hours – 40 baht toll.
