Deputy Prime Minister Suriya Juangroongruangkit has announced a significant development for infrastructure projects affecting Thailand’s southern region, including Hua Hin. All construction on Rama II Road, a major artery linking Bangkok to the southern provinces, is set to be completed by June 2025. This update comes as part of a broader initiative to address long-standing traffic congestion and construction disruptions on the road.
The completion of this project is expected to have a profound impact on residents and businesses in Hua Hin. As one of the popular destinations for both local and international tourists, Hua Hin has long been affected by traffic delays and construction noise from ongoing projects on Rama II Road. The new timetable promises to end these disruptions and offer a smoother travel experience for those traveling to and from Hua Hin.
The first phase of the motorway project, which includes an 8.3-kilometer stretch from Bang Khun Thian to Ekachai, is nearing completion. It is set to open for temporary use by the end of this year, with a full rollout scheduled for June 2025. The entire 24.7-kilometer stretch, extending to Ban Phaeo, will initially be free of charge, with tolls introduced in 2027.

Hua Hin residents can anticipate reduced travel times and fewer delays once the new infrastructure is fully operational. The improved road conditions are likely to boost local businesses by increasing accessibility and encouraging more tourists to visit the area.
In addition to easing travel for those heading to Hua Hin, the completion of the Rama II Road project aligns with the government’s efforts to enhance transportation efficiency across the country. The delay of other planned projects on this route, aimed at minimizing public inconvenience, further underscores the focus on providing immediate relief to affected communities.
Overall, the successful completion of the Rama II Road construction is poised to bring significant benefits to Hua Hin, enhancing connectivity and supporting economic growth in the region.
