The Asian Highway network
begins, at its western extent, in Europe, and runs eastwards
to Vietnam with connections to the Philippines and Indonesia,
and to the South at Sri Lanka. Some sections of the network
may be closed as a result of border conflicts. In Thailand,
the network comprises four national highways: No 1 to the
North, No 2 to the Northeast, No 3 to the East and No 4 to
the South.
Travelers can use the Asian
Highway Route No. 1 to travel to Myanmar at Thailand’s western
border at Mae Sod district of Tak or at the north border at
Mae Sai district of Chiang Rai.
In traveling to Cambodia,
Asian Highway Route No. 1 connecting to Highway No 33 runs
through the border district of Aranyaprathet in Sa Kaeo province.
In connecting to Malaysia,
Asian Highway No. 4 runs through Hat Yai to meet the border
at Sadao district of Songkhla. Another route, Asian Highway
No. 42, runs through Pattani and Narathiwat provinces, crossing
the border at Sungai Kolok.
