BANGKOK, Thailand – The Department of Rural Roads has announced four alternative routes for drivers returning to Bangkok, providing options to ease congestion, reduce fuel consumption, and improve travel efficiency during high-traffic periods.
The first route helps motorists avoid heavy traffic in Saraburi province. Drivers can exit Highway 1 (Phahonyothin Road) onto Highway 362, continue to the irrigation canal, and follow local roads before reconnecting with Highway 33. From there, they can enter Motorway M6 at the Hin Kong toll plaza and proceed toward Bangkok.
A second route provides an alternative to congestion on Highway 24 in Buriram province. Starting at Prakhon Chai, drivers are directed along a series of rural roads that connect to Highway 224. The route passes through Lahan Sai and Non Din Daeng before continuing toward Chong Tako and nearby eastern routes.
The remaining options provide detours in western and northeastern regions. In Kanchanaburi, drivers can avoid traffic on Highway 323 between Tha Muang and Tha Maka by using Highway 3084 and nearby local roads, eventually reaching Highway 3081 and Motorway M81 at Tha Ruea for travel into Bangkok. Meanwhile, motorists traveling along Mittraphap Road between Khon Kaen and Nakhon Ratchasima can shift onto secondary roads that reconnect with Highway 205 and Highway 290, leading to Motorway M6 toward Saraburi and onward to the capital.
