Navigating Bangkok

[YorkshireTyke]

Good Day all

 

I live in Hua Hin and don't know BKK at all, the few times I have had to drive there it's been GPS all the way to the hotel.

 

Now I want to visit 3 sofa furniture outlets, can someone advise me which order to visit them to limit my driving across the busy capital and if it's even doable.

 

The 3 are:

 

SK furniture, Crystal Design Centre (CDC), 888 Pradit Manutham RD, KHLONG Chan, Bang Kapi District

 

Divano Studio, Sai Mai Rd, Khwaeng Sai Mai

 

Mino Home , UPD Krungthepkreetha, 259/159 Saphan Sung

 

Addresses taken from GPS on Google maps

 

Or any other furniture shops specialising in leather sofas.

 

TIA

Any idea roughly how long to drive from 1-2 and 2-3? Probably arrive late friday morning

I've just discovered Divano (2) has a showroom in Ratchaburi so I could go there first on the way from Hua Hin just leaving 1-3, is that still reasonable?

 

Then maybe stay a night in Nana area so 3 - Nana?

Siphon Sung & Bang Kapi are adjacent Districts.  Maybe 1/2 an hour ?

Thanks, just plugged the variations in to GPS, cancel Ratchaburi and back to original plan as no quicker.

HH to Mino, about 220 kms and 3.15 hours

Mino to SK about 20 kms and 30 mins

SK to Divano about 20 kms and 30 mins

Divano to Nana about 32 kms and one hour.

 

Thanks.

Use an app like Waze for detailed directions and timings.

If you need to view a navigation or other app from a location different to where you are right now, use a GPS spoofer or emulator to trick your phone.

I've always found Google maps pretty good. You can specify your start and end locations and add in stops. You can then juggle them around until you get a sensible sequence of driving. Photos and 360°  plus street view also a great help. It does sometimes mess up though. Looking for the local Land and Transport Office it gave me a temple some Kms away. I could see from the photos this was not right! Fortunately before I set off.

I bought my sofa (Natuzzi) at Boonthavorn on Rachidapisek Rd and there is also a big furniture complex across the road that sells Thai Leather Sofa's. I drive there, but you could catch the MRT and walk to Boonthavorn as well, which I have also done. There are numerous hotels on that road too.

Already been to Boonthavorn in HH, didn't have what I wanted, only a small selection.
