Hey guys.

Has anyone been north with the flooding?

I have to head up Friday, but wondering if there have been any issues with crossing at Mae Sai?

TLDR : Answer Summary
There are currently no reports of issues with crossing at Mae Sai despite recent flooding. One user confirmed being in the area recently without problems, while another recommended checking conditions as they can change rapidly. Alternative routes through Fang were suggested for a more relaxing drive, although the quickest route via Chiang Rai may involve construction and gravel sections.

Ah... recommend the route through Fang as it's more relaxing (traffic wise) and less construction. But the route through CR is usually quicker but has a long section of gravel (mud) I think (unless they've finished the construction).

Confirmed. Still a lot of road construction. In a Fortuner it wasn't an issue.
