ClaytonSeymour Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 hi can you give me a rough idea how far from UbonThani to Buriram or give me a web site where i can find out.Thanks Do you mean Udon Thani, or, Ubon Ratchathani? Anyway, Udon to Buriram is 315 km & Ubon to Buriram is 216 km. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClaytonSeymour Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 (edited) This is a quick and easy way of calculating distances between major Thai cities:http://www.guidetothailand.com/maps-thaila...ap-distance.htm 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.

gk10002000 Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 Ooooh. Those Burriam eyes. So distinctive among Thais. What surprises me is when I guess the girl's home town she doesn't believe or think the eyes are that distinctive. I think it is like night and day compared to others.

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). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
