About 20km out of central Bangkok....place called Sammakorn on Ramkhamhaeng Rd, there's some pretty high class people live nearby....well, Hillbilly and William
Is that near the new airport?
MM - It's about 16kms from the new airport taking the ring-road and then the Chonburi-Bangkok motorway. It takes a little longer at the moment because they have road-works on the ring-road (in fact, just recently I notice they have road-works everywhere in Thailand. I had problems driving to both Hua Hin and Pattaya with road-works in the last month).
Anyhow, NickA and Hilly live in a moo-baan that is pretty much self-contained. Has wonderful restraunts and food stalls. Great shops. A large school. If you were a hermit like some members of this forum, there really wouldn't be any real need to leve the place.
Also, around the lake it has some of the biggest houses I have ever seen. In fact, the moo-baan there has one of the widest ranges of houses I've ever seen in a moo-baan. Some of the houses would cost little over a million Baht. Others wouldn't leave you any change out of a million dollars.
But if you ever have spare time when you are over here, we should take you for dinner at one of the restrauants over-looking the lake. Wonderful. Just a shame my favorite, the Steak Lao, has closed
EDIT - NickA, do you mind!! The outter right-hand green line of your circle is going right through my living room and everything has suddenly gone green
