-- Y'day., 26 may, after lunching. with my E&AF. in CENTRALWORLD -Ratchadamri, I decided to cross-over and to look-in at BIG C.; maybe this time would be different from my previous visit?
- Let's write that the hawng nahms were busier until approx. 14. hrs., after wch. there was a lull until around 17.oo.hrs., when I saw a couple of familiar faces cruising, ('And it wasn't only the faces that were familiar!' - Printer's Devil.),.
-- It's been a not unknown complaint that having met someone there's nowhere 'safe' to go, unless one's prepared to return to the SURIWONGSE HOTEL or to BBB. INN.
- However, this time I was led to a new - although NOT necessarily safer hawng nahm, let's write one that's more out-of-the-way.
-- Dir'ns.:
1.- Leave BIG C. on the ground-floor, (street-level), rear ent'ce./exit to its car-park;
2.- Follow the one-way rd. - you're walking against the traffic-flow - behind the builders' now hoarded-up HI-FI BLDG. to the tee-junc.;
3.- Turn RIGHT, (you'll be walking away from R'damri.), either side is hoarded, until you come to a fork in the road;
4.- No, you don't pick-up the fork! Instead take the RIGHT-hand branch and walk until it bends LEFT and becomes wider: on yr. LEFT you'll see a Persian carpets' shop and on your RIGHT, there's TOT. behind a chain-link fence with double-gates, and then continuing along the rd. a line of shop-houses;
5.- Turn RIGHT and enter the TOT. vehicles' park. NB. - there are the usual Sec. Gds. on duty there.
6.- Walk straight ahead through the vehs' pk. until you come to some white-painted & non-HI-rise bldgs. on yr. [color="Red"]LHS.[/COLOR;
]7.- Continue walking ahead and soon, LHS., you'll see a small flight of ascending stairs with the usual & int'l. signage for hawng nahm at their top.
-- Now, I'm not writing that that HN. might be safer, (remember, there are Sec. Gds. at TOT's gates.), - it's just that being MORE out-of-the-way it's LESS likely to have others who might try and interfere, or whatever.
- Like all such places it's AYOR.!
