The floor on ground level, which most of us refer to as the first floor is referred to as the ground floor in Thailand. The next floor up, which most of us refer to as the second floor, is referrred to as the first floor. Confused?" Gaybutton A) I think that the British parlance is to have the floor at ground level the Ground floor and the ones above going 1.2.3.4.5.6.7.8.9.10.11.12.12A.14 (13 being very unlucky) B) Americans and Europeans do it differently - probably something to do with Napoleon who also got people to drive on the wrong side of the road. Ground level is 1 C) New Thai way - in View Talay 5 the basement is floor 1. Basements seem to be variously called B, LG = Lower Ground, 0 Now perhaps someone can explain why condos have such weird numbering system. Here at Grand condo it's logical. I live in condo D on the 10th floor which is 10D. Hoever if I lived on the 13th floor I would be 12A D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
