How to use it
Thai directions run on landmarks, จุดสังเกตjùt sǎng-gèet, "points to notice", more than on house numbers: the 7-Eleven, the temple, the petrol station, the third soi after the bridge. When a driver or a delivery rider calls, give them one: อยู่ตรงข้ามเซเว่นyùu dtrong-kâam see-wên, it's opposite the 7-Eleven.
