Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya: Morning traffic on Asia Road after the long Songkran holiday remains light, allowing vehicles to travel at good speeds.

According to Thai News Agency, reporters observed traffic conditions on Asia Road, specifically at the elevated bridge between kilometers 17-18 in Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya District, where sparse traffic was noted as some travelers had already returned to Bangkok. Vehicles were observed traveling at speeds of 100-120 kilometers per hour.

Some drivers opted to turn left onto Rojana Road before reaching the Ayutthaya overpass to head towards Wang Noi District, thereby avoiding congestion at the Bang Pa-in overpass. This route also provides an alternative path to the motorway leading to Bangkok and Chonburi.

On Phahonyothin Road through Wang Noi District, traffic remained smooth, with vehicles maintaining speeds of 100-120 kilometers per hour. Motorists are advised to rest adequately and exercise caution, particularly in the leftmost lanes where unexpected stops for passenger pick-up and drop-off, or parked vehicles, might occur. Drivers should adhere to legal speed limits for a safe return to work post-holiday.

On Highway No. 32, also known as Asia Road, heading towards Bangkok and passing through Chainat Province, approximately 1,600 vehicles per hour were recorded this morning, traveling at average speeds of 80-90 kilometers per hour. The traffic remained smooth, with minor slowdowns noted at specific points, such as kilometer 139 near Hang Nam Sak intersection, due to traffic light management by police officers.

The Chainat Highways District has relocated its public service point from the upbound to the downbound side along Asia Road at kilometer 133 to assist travelers returning to Bangkok. Chainat Transport has also established a checkpoint for bus inspections, ensuring vehicle conditions and driver readiness for passenger safety. Traffic is expected to increase in the afternoon to more than 2,500-3,000 vehicles per hour.
