JaiMaai Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 Can any recommended an old-school paper book road atlas for Thailand? Before anyone tells me to just use Google Maps - I do, most of the time but I'm not one to put 100% trust in technology, especially since Google has taken me down some "odd" routes, or that's how it appears... Really looking for one with a decent scale which shows minor routes as wellas the main ones. Thanks in advance. Sent from my ZX81 using a dial-up modem.

HAKAPALITA Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 Next to the Red Sea Scrolls in all Big C and Lotus Newspaper Shops. Try just MAPS , not Google, they are powered by Tom Tom. HERE we Go shows most detail, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thaiguzzi Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 The big PTT garages on the motorways sell a decent up to date selection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
otherstuff1957 Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 I have one that I bought ten years or so ago. If I recall correctly they are available in those 'Bookazine' shops. I use google maps for detailed local navigation, but it's nice to be able to look at a full sized page for planning a trip, rather than a tiny screen.

lopburi3 Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 Thai maps - even the best costly book type - never contained many of the minor roads and none had dirt roads or trails. Even town roads were often not shown. Google may take you down a path at times but the maps are first rate and expect better than any print options. I do admit have not given this much attention in last decade but Thai maps always were very poor for details and do not expect seldom used print editions have improved much. Thailand has never been a map using culture - you travel point to point and ask for next point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a full sized page for planning a trip, Michelin maps are good https://www.amazon.com/Michelin-Map-Thailand-Maps-Country/dp/2067172662 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
