Hachi Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 (edited) Greetings. A search around the few stores I thought would carry sighting (mirror) compasses - north side of moat, KSK & Airport Plaza - appear to stock only cheap China made models. Does anyone know where in town to buy a decent quality compass, and hiking/topographical maps for Thailand/northern region? Thank you.

cloudhopper Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 All the compasses I've seen around are crap. Suriwong book store has topo maps and a PM to TV member mapguy sounds like it could be fruitful... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rcjoop Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 D.K books at the moat sells some topo maps as well. I have a Swiss made Recta DP-6 in mint condition which I do not use any more. P.M. me if interested Joop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackr Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 Did the (very cute) bird on floor 3, Plaza, not have any good ones? Ever considered ditching all that old world stuff and go with an iPhone with GPS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chiangmaibruce Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 I had a look at the topo maps in DK a while back and I noticed that maps dealing with areas anywhere close to the border areas were only large scale or missing due to army sensitivity or some such security concern. This seems a bit redundant given the level of detail in google maps now. I downloaded the 3D add-on (for google maps) the other week - amazing - I almost got airsick while playing around with it.

cloudhopper Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 Same with the topos at Suriwong. But there are probably better places to be hiking than sensitive border areas, with or without a good map. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
