Bangkok Full Moon H3 - Run ~48
FRIDAY 12TH SEPTEMBER
Time; 18:00 or 6.30pm Location: Lake Rama IX
Hare: Bruised Willie

NOTE:
Bring a flashlight - don't forget. This run is about 40% in the green or on the dirt and it gets dark at night in places. You will be navigating cows, goats, chickens, ducks and possibly even (no shit) elephants - if they're not out with their handlers on Sukhumvit panhandling. I don't know what happens when you run full speed into an elephant in the dark, but in the middle of the day it scared the shit out of me, so bring a flashlight so you can stay on paper and off elephant tails.
Directions From Ekkamai BTS:
The trip from Ekkamai BTS can be a little congested because of traffic, so allow for extra time if you're not familiar with traffic on Ekkamai (or consider a moto, it's about 50 THB and quicker). The location's not far from the Skytrain or Subway distance-wise. It's closer still to the canal as well.
1. From Ekkamai Skytrain Station, take Ekkamai (Suk. Soi 63) headed North. Continue across Petchaburi Road and Rama IX Road.
2. Upon crossing Rama IX, stay to the left on the frontage road in the lanes not merging onto the tollway. I repeat, DO NOT GET ON THE TOLLWAY.
3. As soon as the tollway entrance lanes split off, move immediately to the far right lane of the frontage road. As the road begins to curve you will see a blue overhead sign marking a U Turn 200M ahead. Do not go 200M - turn right IMMEDIATELY UNDER THE SIGN into an area marked by another sign that says "Water Analysis and Control Building". I will also mark the entrance with HHH sign(s).
4. Park anywhere you can under the overpass as soon as you turn off the frontage road - amongst the various sleeping cab drivers, amateur fishermen, soi dogs and smiling local folks.
Directions From Anywhere Else:
Depending on where you live, it may be quicker to come from the Rama IX MRT station up Rama IX or by car from Petchaburi Rd., Rama IX, the tollway or even by canal. Once you get to the intersection of Rama IX and Sukhumvit Soi 63/Ekkamai/Prasoet Manu Kit (or any of its other names), follow the directions from the paragraph that begins with "As soon as you cross Rama IX" taking into account your bearing. It's complicated to explain because of all the major roads intersecting, but easy to find.
