Sorry to trouble you but I am planning a visit.

Khun Yannawa,
-
No trouble at all - I assure you.
1.- I do
not recall seeing an AYUTTYAH BANK branch on the corner; in fact
no landmarks stick in my memory.
- From my
BKK. City Atlas places along Nawamin rd. deemed worthy of shewing are, (walking away from THE MALL and proceeding in roughly a northerly dir'n.),:
1.1.- Police stn., (
LHS.),;
1.2.- Mkt. - old HAPPY LAND - (
LHS). - where N'min. rd. makes a decided dog-leg turn to the
RIGHT;
1.3.- Bridge over waterway;
1.4.- Gas./petrol. stn., (
RHS.),;
1.5.- 'Shell.' gas./petrol. stn., (
LHS.),;
1.6.- 'Caltex.' gas./petrol. stn., (
LHS.),;
1.7.- Post office, (
LHS). - where N'min. rd. makes a clear dog-leg turn to
LEFT.),.
2.- Despite my advancing years I can still manage to walk quite fast, (at least in comparison with most of the natives.), and time - if
not distance - suggests that I walked farther than
1.3Km..
3.- Rings a faint bell - but I wouldn't be prepared to swear to it.
4.- Correct about the trusted old
115 'bus. wch. runs from Si Lom rd., along R'haeng. rd. and along Nawamin rd. to Suan Siam - possibly it takes rather a long time? From my bi-lingual 'bus. map the #
115. does
not pass directly in front of THE MALL - BK., but possibly
an hundred or two yards to the SOUTH where there's a vehicular flyover, (Srinakharin rd.), above R'haeng. rd..
- AROMASS' map, while helpful, is
not what I'd call accurate and I've had some time in trying to marry it up with my
BKK. City Atlas.; one of the reasons why, on my previous visit, I prefered to walk.
