kevc Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 We live 10 k outside of Nang Rong at the end of a dirt track road and just noticed today we're on street view. Thought maybe a lot of you are away from home a lot or just visit every year with the wife so maybe she'd like to take a virtual walk around home. Not sure how far they've got yet though.

NiwPix Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 I saw a google car ( a subaru hatchback btw ) driving around in the center of Ubon a few days ago. Saw the car 3 days straight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GinBoy2 Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Past 6 months they have really added a lot of really rural Thailand. I was amazed when I saw my house appear, along with me the wife and a workman prancing around the front yard. It's a interesting algorithm they must have to automatically pixelate faces and car license plates....either that or they have hoards of Chinese 'elves' scouring every picture, frame by frame LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zyphodb Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 We've just recently got on it, didnt notice the car when it went through though, our village is in the back of beyond so I was surprised too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
recycler Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 As Google is also checking exactly where we are all the time, it's convenient to have pictures of the back ground to get a better idea what you are doing, if you didn't post it on facebook yet...

OOLEEBER Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 They did ours about a year ago and we're pretty rural too. Same with a mate's house around a soi that's so small you can barely fit a car. I was surprised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eneukman Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 My sister-in-law to be lives in a cul-de-sac in a village near Ban Chang and, to my surprise, it's on street view. Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhunBENQ Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Ours too. I noticed some time ago. Our neighbour just cutting gras (face pixelated) The coverage all over Thailand has dramatically improved. In this scale it looks like completely covered except for the deep south and eastern Isan. Cambodia with some routes, Malaysian peninsula is covered. Myanmar, Vietnam and Laos are not covered (yet?).

nongai Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 They used to only do paved road and stop where it changes to dirt track... must have run out of places to go then.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhunBENQ Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 They used to only do paved road and stop where it changes to dirt track... must have run out of places to go then.... At least for eastern Isan (basically the whole area along the Mekong) there is still much to "view". See my picture above and comment from @ubonjoe. Maybe they catch up later.

AlQaholic Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Yep our condo in the seaside little fishing village has been on street view for more than 2 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrDave Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Our house in Phuket has been on street view for well over 2 years now. I was really surprised to see it (while living in the US), as the house is located in an area that's a bit of a challenge to navigate. For us, there's both an upside and downside to being included in street view. The upside was that the image showed that the house was in dire need of pressure washing and painting, so we contacted our property manager to arrange this. The downside is that the old image is still on google, and probably won't be updated for a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubonjoe Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 I may be on street view shortly. Was standing in front of the house when the street view car came rolling up the street earlier today. So it seems they are now working on getting Ubon finished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cooked Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 Google Earth and Google Maps insists that our village is 8 Km away from where it is.. I have sent them two notices and you still get the same result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Issangeorge Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Google maps is just now changing the name of Highway 2042 over to highway 12. The government had changed all the signs a couple if years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
