Compared to last year when I saw the rivers here going up I made a mental note on where they reached when they at their max and we passed that weeks ago. I were told a month ago that at that time the water levels were at the usual level at the end of the raining season.
I am l going to Mukdahan/Savannakhet next week and expect the roads to be OK but Yasothon seems to have some flooding problems from what I have been able to find out online but we are going Sisaket-> Ubon-> Mukdahan and last time except for 30KM its 2 lanes in each direction and in perfect condition.
Can't beat a visa run I had last year during the raining season in a sedan because the main road were flooded we had to do a detour through a back road which were a red dirt/clay road. Shit I am happy I were not driving if the main road is closed imagine how much traction you would get there.
