Family members are planning a stopover in Bangkok in the next school holidays, and the kids just in high school,
showed me maps of where they were staying, the BTS and where it is located with regards to their hotel.

They have made plans to take the Chao Prahya boat trip and know how to get from their hotel by BTS to the river and how to return home from the Palace.

This left me stunned that they know so much and have yet to have been to LOS once

They started at this website
http://www.bangkok-city.com/
typed in the name of their hotel and the interactive map displayed the local area

They then showed me Tower Inn and Sofitel Silom where I have stayed recently and sent them postcards from , and my friend who has stayed at Pinnancle and La Residence. He was relieved that Malaysia was not listed.

For those who are visiting for the first time or like me who have been countless times, this is a great tool and very helpful site
