In theory, there is probably a reference and legal basis for this kind 
of thing in Bangkok city hall, but unless we are challenging the way 
that the Bangkok city fathers are numbering streets it would be an 
incredible waste of time to track it down.  I am willing, on a 
provisional basis, to accept the observations of someone who has lived 
in that city.  If I doubted the facts I could always go to Bangkok to 
verify the facts by walking the streets.  The information is right there 
for everybody to see.
