Hi guys. I have been searching everything I know of to try to find a venue for one of the SEA games sports. Does anyone happen to have any idea where I can find:

Lawn Bowls Green, Queen Sirikit Sports Center, Pathum Thani in Bangkok?

I think it is so new that it is not on any maps I can find. If you may know where it is, then would you also have any recommendations for a hotel in that area? Or else, do you know if it would be fairly easy to get to by train, bus, or taxi from BKK lower Sukhumvit area? Or maybe if I stayed at any recommended hotel in the area of the old Don Muang airport, because as near as I can tell the stadium is located somewhere north of the airport?

TIA
