Are you sure it's "Jamjan?" not "Nuanjan?" Nuanjan is a pretty wide street with a lot of Sois, all of which are called "Soi Nuanjan (+ the soi number)," and they probably all have names, but the names are not generally used (the number is enough), and I don't believe any are named Jamjan. Could be wrong, but I'd check your source. I have lived in that area for a long time, and what you list as "Klongkum" is out-of-date, they changed it very recently. It used to be "Khwaeng Khlongkum," but now it's "Khwaeng Nuanjan." The Beungkum is still correct, it's a little clearer if you say "Khet Beungkum." The "khwaeng" and the "khet" specify area subdivisions. The "khet" is administratively treated as something equivalent to a provincial district, or "amphur," within Bangkok. So your address, being in Beungkum, is--on the Ram Inthra expressway--about 14km north (and a bit east) out from Sukhumvit, past Rama IX, past Lad Phrao, past Bangkapi, almost to Ram Inthra Road. Anyhow Nuanjan and Nawamin are the big streets in Khet Beungkum.
