Two scenic northern routes have hit a temporary roadblock. The culprits? Route 47, which leads from the vibrant heart of Bangkok to the serene town of Thung Chang, and Route 910, which navigates its way to the lush landscapes of Nan, now rendered unreachable due to Mother Nature’s watery tantrums. In a candid announcement posted to its official Facebook page, Bor Kor Sor painted a somber picture of Thailand’s northern provinces, now awash with torrents from the unrelenting rainfall.
