Google Earth

[gburns57au]

Can anyone pin Baan Kruad on Google earth and send me or post the location here....The detail for the area is not great and I am finding it hard to find. I got Prakhonchai and Phasat Phnom Rung but I lose it from there.

Thanks

I understand the problem, following the roads down there is not easy.

Changing a few names and comparing against my Lotus Image Road Atlas (which is wonderful) I think I have found it for you, see attached locator file.

Baan Kruad = Ban Kruat ?

Prakhonchai = Prakhon Chai ?

Sorry if the town's not the correct one, I didn't see any similar names in the area.

Ban Kruat = N 14º 23' 23" E 103º 05' 24"

Thats pretty close I think Cuban...but I was looking for a more definate pin....I have tried working back from the kiln area and the Quarry and also the roads running out of Prakhonchai down to that area. I am looking for a particular village near Baan Kruad but I still cant trace it....I remember the road from the kilns intersects the main road in the middle of the town. Where the big Wat is...Once I can determine that intersection then I can locate the village.

Thanks for the help though

I found it difficult to tell buildings apart, I don't have local knowledge of that area, you might have some luck comparing photographs. Or wait for better resolution on GE. Have fun.

Is there any way of knowing when Google Earth will improve the resolution of an area.?

I am at 16deg 58'42"N, 102deg53'49"E in Ban Non Sa-at, and in a 'stripe' of low resolution. But if I was about 15km to the northeast, in Kumpawapi, I would have a picture of much higher resolution.

Very frustrating.

Hi

I understand Google Earth use photo's or satellite images that are up to 3 years old with no guarantee when they will be updated.

Which village Mr B? I can nip out with my trusty Fuji if you like.

I found Ban Kruat with googleearth or maybe not as the resolution is so poor it is almost impossible to tell. There is a large blueish mass which I would assume to be the Huay Mek Dam, other than that it is just varying shades of green with coloured blobs.

I just found out that Google Earth is being updated. Now I can actually see details in my house in Denmark - before it was impossible to se the house at all.

So now we just have to wait for more detailed photos fra Isaan - in 5 og 10 years

Thank you, 'NovaBlue05', for telling about 'pointasia'.

I have downloaded it and find that our house is in a high resolution stripe on that!

Aloha! How about one for Santisuk village or surrounding area? My wife is from that village and it'd be a real treat for both of us if we could see it on GE.

Try out your Thai here: www.rtsd.mi.th/DigitalThailand/index.asp

After a year it should be up and "running' now.
