It is a little bit chaotic so please budget 3-5 hours, and be patient. Many Thais helping in the organization but the facilities are not up to the volume to people donating.

The place is on the street that goes from Patpong to Siam Square, very easy to find. Parking is allowed anywhere around the building.
