Creating A Map On Adobe Illustrator

[bannork]

I've devised a board game about Thailand using Adobe Illustrator to make cards, in the final stage now I have to make a map of Thailand divided into 4 differently coloured regions with the significant towns added.

I've done that okay, though I think the borders could do with finer edges, but I feel the map needs more embellishing, mountain ranges, lakes added etc. I don't know how to add these features so I'm wondering if anyone knows where I could buy a manual for Adobe illustrator of a shop that could do this for a reasonable price.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
