How to get there

The Thai-Japanese Sports Complex is a large establishment (including athletic track and field facilities). It is off Din Daeng Road, on Soi Mitmaitri. Most buses from Pratunam or Victory Monument that go to Din Daeng pass the end of the soi. Get off at the first bus stop after the underpass, close to the footbridge, and walk back.

The dojo is in the left side of the main building. The mat is also used by the judo club, and is in the same hall as the Thai boxing gym.

If you don't speak Thai and you need to state your destination, it might be helpful to know that the sports complex's name in Thai sounds like "Thai-Yipoon". Also, be warned that outbound traffic in this area can be very congested in the early evenings. Din Daeng is roughly to the North East of central Bangkok.
