Asking for the Way Visitor: Can you tell me how to reach the bank please? Policeman: Which bank? There are two: Krungthai Bank and Krungthep Bank. Visitor: Krungthai. I want to withdraw money from the bank. Policeman: Oh. It‘s near the local shopping centre, Visitor: How do I get there? I have no knowledge of this area. Policeman: Cross the road and turn left at the other side. Walk along the footpath until you reach
the traffic lights. You will see a shopping centre on the right hand side. Walk across the road and
turn right after the shopping centre. Keep going straight for about 100m and the bank is to your left. Visitor: It sounds very complicated. How far is it from here? Policeman: It's not so complicated. It's about five minutes walk from here. I can draw a map for you if you wish. Visitor: Oh, I would really appreciate that. By the way will I be going North or South?
Policeman: You will be going northwards. You are now in the Western part of the city and Krungthai Bank is situated in the North East. Here's a rough sketch of the area.
