MZurf Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 I see that Google has added Thailand on their list of countries they supply this particular type of site for. http://maps.google.co.th/ Anyone know how to get this site to "speak English" (if at all possible)?

Well at least in Bangkok it worked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveh Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 Has anyone managed to get Google Maps to find an address? For the life of me, I can't figure out the right incantation to find addresses in Thailand. What is the "correct" address format and does it work on Google Maps? A really nice feature request would be to return an address in either English or Thai by pointing to the map. I can find my in-laws' houses by navigating the map, but not by typing in any form of address. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of times it gets worse the more specific the address gets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GungaDin Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 In a lot of cases, Google have been fed bad info from locals or others. On Phutta Monthon Sai 4 the sois are all incorrectly numbered. This is probably the case in a lot of other areas. At least the GPS works for Lat & Lon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
