Please show the following information to the taxi driver.
*The reason I am showing you the BUA RIVER restaurant is because it is well-known. Even if they don’t know SV City, every taxi driver knows BUA RIVER restaurant. BUA RIVER restaurant is located on the ground floor of Tower 5 in SV City.

■Where is Tower 5?
SV City is a massive condominium complex consisting of eight residential towers in addition to the office tower. MALEE’S HOME is located in Tower 5, which is the farthest from the road and has a prime location facing the river.
Please Read Carefully
In Thailand, addresses and Google Maps do not always align. This means that the address registered on Airbnb cannot pinpoint the exact location of MALEE’S HOME. To reiterate, the correct address cannot be confirmed directly from Airbnb. While this might be difficult for foreigners to understand, it stems from the fact that map usage was not traditionally common in Thailand.
So, how do Thai people locate addresses? In Thailand, addresses are identified by sequential numbering along the road. Odd numbers (e.g., 1, 3, 5…) are on the left side, and even numbers (e.g., 2, 4, 6…) are on the right. People navigate by following these numbers.
What about taxi drivers? Simply put, they aim for the numbered address and rely on asking locals for the final directions. This process is a common practice in Thailand, not just for MALEE’S HOME, so please understand this local custom and rest assured.
Please note that our situation differs from that of regular hotels. First, for well-known hotels, taxis can take guests there even if the exact address is unclear, as long as they know the location. Second, even for lesser-known hotels, taxis can navigate to them if they appear on Google Maps. However, since our Airbnb cannot be registered on Google Maps, this option is not available. Additionally, many taxi drivers are unfamiliar with the Airbnb homestay service, which can further cause confusion.
