This is a quick and easy way of calculating distances between major Thai cities:

The calculator appears to contain errors i.e. Nakhon Ratchasima>Ubon 282 km, Ubon>Nakhon Ratchasima 370 km? I haven't checked them all, but it's not the only example where opposite journeys vary in distance.

The distances I quoted were from the Roadway Atlas, produced by Groovy Map. I've compared several 'journeys' with the calculator & most seem to agree. The lesson is that we should never trust the Thai's with geography - which I suspect most of us know anyway.

Hmm! You are correct. I have used the calculator a number of times, and not noticed the problem before.

Another way of calculating, and hopefully accurately, is to use google maps http://maps.google.com/

You merely enter "from xxxxxxxx to yyyyyyy" (no quotation marks). Also has the added advantage of showing the shortest route (similar to a GPS).

Google maps also have the advantage of enabling you to calculate it point to point, rather than town to town.
