I used this route last week, still a few road works but no major stoppages, nice road for the most part now. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I would surely prefer the short route and go up 304 in the west (left). Route through 348 is to the east (right).

About time after so many years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tso310 Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 (edited) 304 is a better route I think mainly because it has more dual carriageway that 348 which I feel is a more dangerous road and 304 I felt was definitely faster. The last time I was on 304 in March there were numerous widening schemes going on, have they finished or was work halted due to Covid-19. Technically there is a 3rd route through Kao Yai national park, pre Covid naturally. The only problem being the entrance fee for farangs.

Still some widening but nothing appeared to be halted, going ahead - slowly! Compared to the dust track this route was ~15 years ago - mega improvement, just stay off the 313, that is an utter nightmare! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes you are correct, i would prefer the short route too, but if it was stop -start for road works then i would take the longer *mountain road* 348. I like to keep rolling not stopping every 10 min. thanks all for your replies it seems there are no major delays on the shorter route by what your all saying.
