Guest alastairjp Posted November 6, 2011 Posted November 6, 2011 I have just leased a property in Baan Nanbun, Namprae and was wondering if any other posters lived in this area? Quote
pong Posted November 6, 2011 Posted November 6, 2011 state chiangwat=province and amphoe=district clearly. Or is that Phrae? The place mentioned is unknown -even to me. Quote
Bob Posted November 6, 2011 Posted November 6, 2011 I have just leased a property in Baan Nanbun, Namprae and was wondering if any other posters lived in this area? I'm presuming (just a wild guess) that you're talking about Tambon Namprae of the Hang Dong District south of the Chiangmai airport? I doubt if 99% of Chiangmai residents themselves (there are a couple of posters who live in Chiangmai) ever even heard of the Namprae Tambon. On the other hand, with my luck, there are 1000 other places in Thailand with the same names..... Quote

Bob Posted November 6, 2011 Posted November 6, 2011 I have tha address as Baan Nanbun Namprae Hang Dong 50230 I know about where you are but I'm fairly sure that there are no other posters on this board who live within a few miles of you. There are a couple, myself included, who live in the city (Chiang Mai) on the west side not all that far from the mall (Kad Suan Gaew). Up to you but the address you list above seems a bit incomplete. For use by friends mailing from other countries, you might want to add "Thailand" at the end. And, if you had a street name, Soi number, and house number, it'd look a whole lot more complete. But I suppose if a mailing gets to the Hang Dong post office, it'll likely get to you. Typically (there are variations) addresses would be listed as follows: NAME House number, Soi number, and street name Housing cluster or condo name (in your case, maybe Baan Nanbun) T. Namprae, A. Hangdong Thailand 5xxxx (The "A" stands for "Ampur" which is the Thai name for "District" and the "T" stands for "Tambon" which is the Thai word for "Subdistrict") Quote

Guest colinr Posted November 7, 2011 Posted November 7, 2011 Thanks Found to my great suprise im living in 69 Moo 10 After "A. Hang Dong" you'd normally add "J.Chiangmai" (province) Quote
Guest fountainhall Posted November 7, 2011 Posted November 7, 2011 Sounds marginally easier than Japanese addresses which are based on wards and blocks. Almost impossible to work out unless you have a very good street grid map. Quote
Guest joseph44 Posted November 7, 2011 Posted November 7, 2011 A friend of me is living there. Quiet area near CNX and Chiang Mai Away from the city and close enough to participate in city-life. Public transport available, but motorbike or car would usefull. Quote
Guest alastairjp Posted November 7, 2011 Posted November 7, 2011 Public transport available, but motorbike or car would usefull. Any idea where i can find details of the public transport Quote
Bob Posted November 7, 2011 Posted November 7, 2011 Any idea where i can find details of the public transport Are you near one of the main roads (what we call the "Hangdong Road)? And do you know how to flag down a baht bus? I'd guess (but really don't know as I've never tried it out there - I usually go to Baan Tawai area being driven by a tuk tuk buddy) - they've got baht busses that will come into town from there.
