Made the trip to the new Ikea, great store, as big if not bigger than most of the UK stores but set out the same. Great meatballs and great prices and just over an hours drive from Pattaya, if anyone need sat nav co ordinates to get there here they are 13.645486,100.681114 Once you get almost to the store there are also Ikea direction signs follow them and you cant go wrong.

^ Thanks for that. :jap:

Just a quick question, did you drive via the 7 or via the 3 (Sukhumvit) from Pattaya ?

Hi,

I was there last Friday. Take the 3 from Chonburi, if you use the toll way leave it early enough... I left it to late and had to do two U-turns in heavy traffic. That mistake cost me around 45 minutes. The entrance to the Ikea car Park is from the Road 3 only.

Shop is nice, also a lot food stuff like Knaeggebrot, Jam and chocolate and frozen cakes, pizza etc.

Chocolate was only 29 Thb. for 100gr. !

Take a cooling box along, just in case...

I see they got their Google Place Page: http://maps.google.com/maps/place?cid=15961519134487464628&q=Ikea+Bangkok+Thailand&hl=en&ved=0CGEQ-gswAg&sa=X&ei=Jjy5To3oMsTjtQbk-ZXPDQ

If you come up the 7 from Pattaya and exit onto the 9 heading towards Bang-na , when you hit the junction with Bang-na trad bear right BKK direction, I believe you cannot access car park without driving to next u-turn, take it, then the next u-turn has an exit for the car park.

If you come the other way get off at the Bang-plee exit at the Tesco/homepro shopping mall and keep going it's on your left

Thanks for that. What's the water situation there, no problem? (Don't laugh, I know nothing about Bangkok geography)

For now......no water problem.

Using the #3 elevated tollway from Chonburi to Bang Na, take the exit "Lat Krabang" (the first exit after Suvarnabuhmi Airport).

Stay on the frontage road and follow the GREEN signs "Bang Na"

At some point you'll see: "IKEA & Mega Bang Na"

Coming from the West using #9 (Outer Ring Road) approaching the junction with #3 (Bang Na - Trat Highway): keep left and follow the green signs: "Bang Na"

You'll see the signs: "IKEA & Mega Bang Na"

Awesome, thanks!
