[Ganyc]

Bangkok,

Are there such addresses in Bangkok ? What do they mean ?

1. Ekkamai Soi 2, Sukhumvit 63
2. 101/6 Soi Sangkarn, Rajprarop Road, Phaya Thai, Rajatavee.

Please advise me. I want to know how to go there.

Regards.

1. Ekkamai Soi 2, Sukhumvit 63

Sukhumvit Soi 63 is named Ekkamai, thus it is in essence just Ekkamai Soi 2!

Take Skytrain to Ekkamai, and walk up, it is on your right about 300m or so.


2. 101/6 Soi Sangkarn, Rajprarop Road, Phaya Thai, Rajatavee

Working backwards - 'Rajatavee' is the Khet (district);

'Phaya Thai' would usually be the Kwang (Sub-District) - although in this case I think it is incorrect as I think it is stating the Khet located above it instead!;

'Rajprarop Road' is the road (really!!);

'Soi Sangkarn' is a soi off the road and

'101/6' refers to block/building numbered 101, sub-division 6 - this can be a block of flats (flat 1, 2 etc thus this is flat 6), a collection of shophouses (thus this is shophouse 6) or just the sixth section of that piece of land. Note block numbers tend to be postman walks (odd one side, even the other) but not always and they seldom run consecutively!!

Sadly I can find no cartographic reference to this Soi unless it is the old name for one of the numbered Rajprarop sois (i.e. Rajprarop Soi 1, 2 etc).

However, it could just mean 101/6 'Rajprarop Road' (the Soi being an old name a closed soi) in which case it should be opposite the Indra Regent Hotel!!

Sorry.
