Any directions? The ones on ting and tong's were not very helpful to and could not find this
on dreadedned site. What area of BKK is this in?

From Ting and Tong, it was not clear what MRT station:
"Not 100% Sure to be honest!
But i think best way would be:
MRT to Rachada Station
The Beach Residence is at Rachada MRT station and there are usually Taxis outside the station
Get them to take you to Rachada soi 8(40-50B)
I'm sure some Bkk residents will know a better way of getting there but that the only way i know!
When the maps correct must be station huaykwang but we will explore - i have 2 weeks in bangkok with BS before we go to expensive hongkong and singapore."

I see two stations on MRT maybe it is: Ratchathewi or Ratchadamri?
No station Huaykwang.


What are the suana's that are near by?

Any help appreciated.

Thanks!

MRT "Thailand Cultural Center" I don't know the exit number, check the map in the station, it's back and to the right. As you exit is a very short walk. It's on the side of the big Hollywood Disco, you can see that from the street and on the other side is the Esplanade Center.

I am looking at a map in the current copy of Thai Puan and they show it at MRT Hueykhang, that's not right.

Last train from Bangsue leaves at 11:30pm. Taxi to say, Silom would be about 80-90B

No Saunas near by that I can think of. Lad Phrao there's a few The Zone and Hercules and then way to the west around Aree there's more. The Gay Sorn to the East, Ramkhamheang 53.

Ratchathewi and Ratchadamri are BTS (Skytrain) stations. Huaykwang is certainly an MRT (subway) station as shown on the MRTA website http://www.mrta.co.th/images/project/ne ... ject_1.gif (http://www.mrta.co.th/images/project/new_line_project_1.gif)

From the map I have attached it seems exit #2 at Thailand Cultural Centre is the one closest to Soi 8

realizing I didn;t know transit in BKK very well, sent me to google to find a nice PDF of
the system. Tough to read scaled down to legal or letter size, but if you can print to
large format paper no bad (orginal scaled to bit bigger than 16" x 12".
