September 25, 200718 yr 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. CSS

Edited September 25, 200718 yr by stumonster

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

Good Luck!!!!! 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.
