villagefarang Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 We went to check on the progress of the new road from Chiang Khong to town. The section from the 1020 to the Ing River is paved but the bridge is not very far along. When finished it will shorten our drive to town considerably.

Manassas Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 Looking forward to that being completed. Will shorten my drive to Chiang Rai. In the meantime I've been avoiding that route due to all the construction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XJ650 Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 VF and Manassas, I think you have to wait quite a long time before you can go thiw new 4-lane highway to Chiang Rai City. See this info: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villagefarang Posted September 26, 2019 Author Share Posted September 26, 2019 A relatively short segment from near our home to Sop Pao would cut at least five, and maybe six, kilometers off our drive to town and eliminate the need to pass through Phayamengrai. I am not going to offer any predictions as to the completion date but I will be happy whenever it gets done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
my friend I Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 I always assumed Phaya mengrai was a Thai style traffic calming device. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
