-- Y'day., (17 jul.), a'noon. and to make a change I decided to visit
CRYSTAL DESIGN CENTRE. - this posting brings this cruising from the gen'l.
CRUISING SPOTS, (updated. - postings #
655.
et seq.), to a MORE dedicated thread.
-- I detrained at MRT. Lad Phrao and took a #
8. 'bus.* to BIG C - Lad Phrao;
- Fare & Time:
08.Bh. & approx.
12.mins. along a fairly empty rd.;
- From BIG C. - Lad Phrao to CRYSTAL DESIGN CENTRE it's an approx.
35.mins. walk for me., (this thread posting #
6. shews loc'ns. of both CRYSTAL PARK and of CRYSTAL DESIGN CENTRE.),;
- Look for an ent'ce. on yr.
RHS. just inside of wch. is a fountain/roundabout, (US.: gryatory.), consisting of a stainless steel shape in a basin and surrounded by water-jets; to yr.
RIGHT - as you look-at the fountain - is a Spirit House;
- Enter - to yr.
LHS. are large, concrete & modern-looking shops; thus at the roundabout bear
RIGHT - look ahead and you'll see a MAXVALUE Super-store;
- Walk towards the M'VALUE. and immediately after the concrete bldg. on yr.
LHS. you'll see, (
LHS.), some LOW-rise &
two storey bldgs.set behind a car-park - that's whither I'd suggest you head;
- For the dedicated cruiser there are plenty of std. signage-indicated
hawng nahm to visit; but as is so often the case it's all a matter of timing; it was
not one of my luckier days - alas:
- ETA./ETD.: roughly
15.oo.-
17.30.hrs. ;
-While there were plenty of cars & of m/cs. parked, there seemed to be surprisingly few people seen in that part of the Complex; although by
17.hrs. there were many MORE, with many younger people setting-out their wares either on tables or upon the ground.
-- Possibly worth a return visit?

--* From my various 'bus.-maps the flg. 'buses. are shewn as plying between MRT. LAD PHRAO & BIG C. -
#8., 27., 44., 96., 122.,126., 137., 145., 172., 182., 191., 502., 514. & 545.; one 'bus.-map. shews that #
172. & #
514. maybe picked-up along Si Lom rd. - but that's possibly rather a long 'bus.-ride?
