-- Khun Pong,
- Thanks for your report!
-- Just a few & additional thoughts: by 'bus. is really the only useful means of tpt.:
-
Suggested 'buses. -
1. - From SILOM COMPLEX SHOPPING PLAZA - 'buses. nos. #
163. and #
164.;
blue & cream colored; non-air-cond. - journey times can be l-o-n-g!
2. - From BTS. Wongwian Yai - 'bus. #
84., either
red & cream or
buff colored - the latter is air-cond.; from memory fare for the latter is about
21Bh.,(?),.
-
Distances -
1. - From KING TAKSIN CIRCLE to THE MALL - Bang Kae., (as a landmark;
RHS., large &
buff colored blg. by fly-over.), approx. just LESS than
04.M.;
2. - From THE MALL to 1st. BIG C.,
(LHS. - look for large BIG C. sign.), approx.
1 3./4.M.;
3. - From 1st. BIG C. to
BIG C. - Aum Yai.,
(LHS. - look-out for large BIG C sign.), approx.
06 1/2.M.;

- Probably the easiest & safest thing to do is to ask either the Conductor or Driver to tell you when the 'bus. reaches the 2nd.
BIG C. at Aum Yai. - makes life easier, (especially if 'bus. is crowded and you can't see out of the windows!),.
