Map
The above link will take you to mapquest and you will be able to get an idea of the whereabouts of our location.
If you see Samut Prakan, you have found the general area where our team lives, though spread out quite far apart from each other.
If you find where Thanon Srinakarin crosses an unnamed road running east-west (north of Thanon Sukhumvit and northwest of Bang Phli), you have discovered my area. The unnamed road on the map is Theparak Rd. I can walk from my apartment to Theparak Rd., turn left (west), and walk to the Srinakarin intersection in about 5-10 minutes. The red star on the map, with the name Krungtep, is of course, Bangkok.
Traffic has been really bad lately, so I am back to leaving at 6:00 AM to make it to school by 8:00. If I leave at 6:30, I probably won't get there until 8:30, and there is standing room only on the bus. That's what happened earlier this week. Standing for 1 1/2 hours on a crowded bus, then another 20 minutes on the sky train early in the morning--UGHHH. But it is a normal way of life for many, many Thais.
By the way, if you want to explore on the map, our team is spread out from Bang Bo on the east to On Nut, almost in Bankgok. Mapquest is great!
