Building B,

Bangkok Government Center,

Chaengwattana Road (close to the Department of Consular Affairs, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Chaengwattana Road.)

BANGKOK

but what do I tell the taxi driver?? !!!! as far as I remember, chang wattana is a VERY VERY long road!!! what is the address??!!!!

surely there is more to the address than above? coz not every taxi driver is going to know where the bangkokm giovernment centre is!! (let alone understand it in english!)

Have a Thai written it in Thai or tell the driver you want to go to Thor Mor Chaeng Wattana

Yes Tell Taxi Thor Mor Chaeng Wattana or Gong Soon Chaeng Wattana.

Tell the taxi driver to go to "Big C", Chaengwattana, going from the Big C is only a very short walk across the street and to the left to the new buildings.

I have been told it is behind the new Thai CSI building if you watch CSI. Don't ask me how to say it in Thai. The other map that was on the forum earlier this past month is clearer than the map in Thai today.

I made a U-Turn almost in front of the entrance to the compound around 12 noon today and it was a nightmare with traffic until they finish the flyover from the CAT area to Muang Than Thani. The flyover in the opposite direction to Vipawadi is finished but is used for either direction depending on the time of day and traffic conditions. Today at 12, it was bringing traffic from Vipawadi, both lanes one direction on the flyover. Judging by the construction time, maybe one or two months before they finish.

Hope this helps.

Tell Taxi " Py Gong Soon Chaeng Wattana" How it pronouced in Thai . We live 5 mins drive from it. No more trekking to Saun Phou however because we dont live in Bangkok maybe we can't use it ( happened once when we went to Ratchada Pisak office 20 mims away)
