Help Finding Lsat Testing Center

[CSS]

I've lived in Thailand for five years (so I know major landmarks and transport in Bangkok and can speak Thai) but never in Bangkok (so I only know a few spots around major tourist spots and shopping centers). I've registered to take the LSAT in Bangkok on the 30th but don't know how to get to the center. I would greatly appreciate some help telling me where it is and how to get there. Also, the test is at 8:30am on a Sunday. Can someone tell me what the traffic would typically be like at that time?

This is the address:

39/7 Soi Nichada Thani

Samakee Road

Amphur Pakkret

Nonthaburi 11120

If you know of any hotels in the area, preferably in the 300-800 baht range that would also be appreciated. Thanks.

I forgot to give the name of the testing center: International School Bangkok

Thanks. The computer I'm on right now is too slow for Google Earth but I can get access to one later. Google Earth is a great invention. I'll be flying into Don Muang.

[Tingnongnoi]

Pakkret is not too far away from Donmuang, in that general area of Bangkok

[stumonster]

you can see don Muang in the top corner and the international school is labeled in the bottom

the road going east - west ( basically ) is Cheang Wattana - Pak Kret road

the International School is in Nichida Thani estate ( Very Flash ) - entry off Cheang Wattana - Pak Kret road is via soi 24.

there are a couple of Hotels near Cheang Wattana Big C , but I will see if I can find something a little closer to the school.

ok there is a hotel just down soi 22 , I will go see if I can get a card from them tomorrow .

I took the LSAT there about six years ago. I called the school and they emailed me detailed directions in Thai and English and hotel recommendations close by.

Good Luck!!!!!

Thanks for the pictures and the hotel suggestions, most helpful and appreciated. I'll see about that hotel on Soi 22.

Thanks! Calling the school to get directions and hotel directions does seem like the obvious solution. I should have done that already.

I ended up just taking a city bus to Pakkret and asking the motorcycle taxis if they knew of any 300-500 baht places to stay the night. They took me to the "oon-eye-rak" apartment อู่นไอรัก. It was a very clean nice a/c room with TV, hot water and such for 400 baht and a 5 minute motortaxi ride from the testing center.
