Khao Yai receiving heavy influx of people fleeing floods

As the flooding continues to creep deeper into Bangkok more Bangkokians are fleeing to safe areas. Already Pattaya is jammed with people who fled earlier. Many people are also coming to Khao Yai where it is safe and dry. The usual route from Bangkok to Khao Yai has been cut off for some time due to flooding in the Wang Noi area so the traffic has been heavy on the alternate route through Nakhon Nayok. Also, many people have been using the highway 304 Kabinburi-Nakhon Ratchasima, resulting in major traffic jams. The Department of National Parks has agreed to allow traffic to enter Khao Yai National Park free of charge to help relieve congestion for those cutting through the park to reach the Pak Chong side.

With the heavy influx to the area most inexpensive bungalows and guest houses are already booked. Khao Yai Property’s rentals are fully booked for at least one month, including the large 4 bedroom 4 bath plus servant’s quarters house at Khao Yai Land View. The rental market for larger homes in Khao Yai is rather small so those families seeking an escape from the floods are usually resorting to renting several bungalows. However, since they are mostly booked those families are having issues with their group being split between more than one resort. Also the lack of kitchen and laundry facilities at most bungalows makes a long stay difficult and expensive.
