From your experience what is the most current Bangkok street map? Several maps that I own purport to be current but suffer errors of age....like not even showing the existance of the Millennium Hilton.

Maybe they didn't pay to be included?

My most recent is about three years old I think, perhaps a bit older.

A hotel missing? That is what a pen is for...

I use thinknet Bangkok City Atlas 2nd edition. It's pretty good. Printed in 2007, but I did buy it last year, so there may be a new one. Available in B2S, 250 bht as far as I know.

One I keep handy in my car is by PN MAP, Bangkok A to Z Atlas, Bilingual Thai-English. Have seen it at SE_ED book stores lately.

If I'm headed someplace I've never been I try to find the destination on ThinkNet's Bangkok CD map for your PC. Locate the destination, write down the Lat & Long, plug that into a GPS, and motor away. Something like baht 200-300 at many book stores. http://www.thinknet.co.th/06/eng/home.html

Looks like there's an online map of Thailand, too, something new and handy.

I used to also use the ThinkNet Bangkok CD map but now find it easier to use some of the online maps of bangkok, some of the sites i have found useful for bangkok.

I answered this exact same post in the motoring forum;

MILLENNIUM HILTON BANGKOK HOTEL

Charoen Nakhon Rd., Khlong Ton Sai

Khlong San, BANGKOK 10600

0-2442-2000

Is this the one? It is on the ESRI 2008 map. An update for the 2008 map is available now.

What happened to your Garmin GPS?

if you get the map in free, normally it will not be accurate..

... so what is it that allows him to stay happily in England? ...

Has extradition been requested?

If so, doesn't the UK Home Office take a year or two to make their decision?

Thailand has not requested extradition.

The one with most to gain should the military take over is Thaksin himself as he would undoubtedly then claim political asylum.

Incidently, his diplomatic passport offers him no immunity in the UK as he is not an accredited diplomat to the Court of St James, ie the UK.

Worth noting. He entered the UK before his conviction. Were he now to leave the UK he would almost certainly be denied re-entry as the subject of an unresolved conviction. A prisoner in a velvet cage ?

That's all very well, but does he need an up-to-date map of Bangkok?
