I am hoping someone can give me info on some of the following areas:

BangNa

Prawet

Bang Kaeo

And anything in the close proximity of the above mentioned - looking on Google Earth, but no idea what im looking at

things like traffic - access to expressway, bigger roads (to get to Amata Nakorn)

availability of houses/townhouses - furnished/partly furnished

suitable for family living

International English schools in area, etc

ANY help greatly appreciated!!

Also the area of SuanLuang???

See this snapshot.

The elevated highway from Bangkok to Amata is the thick yellow line starting from Bangkok at the middle left and runs to the bottom right.

I have also indicated the locations of 3 international schools - Bangkok Patana, Concordian International and Charter International, as well as Novotel Bangna that your hubby stayed.

Also the area of SuanLuang???

Suan Luang district is above Pravet, and too far for your hubby to avoid traffic jams to get to the elevated highway.

Here's a link for information on Bangna that may be useful:

Just keep in mind that most of the points of interest are not that close together. There is a BTS sky train station that has been built in Bangna, however, its opening has been delayed at least until the end of 2010, and possibly much longer.
