This seems as good a link as any to create some interest in this area of the Forum.
The satellite & aerial photos are probably the best thing here. As always, the maps are based on some rather old surveys by the look of things.

I will be moderating this section in future, but I should add that I'm not a cartographer in any sense of the word; just a keen collector of maps & related images, with a long-term interest in the use of bulletin boards for information exchange.
Until I become more familiar with the workings of this Forum Board, you may wish to send me images for possible inclusion in the forum. I will be looking into whether it is possible to arrange or allow images within strings, but am prepared to add links to images stored on my own public pages if necessary. Let me know if you have any difficulty adding active links to your posts.
I'm hoping that this may become one of the more informative sites on the subject of maps of Thailand; and transcend the more normal 'tourist' fodder. A wide variety of different map & image types may well be lodged on your harddrives, with only the occasional use. 2Bangkok.com seems to be a site where posters show genuine appreciation at being able to share info that goes beyond the usual stereotypes of local & expat interests & occupations. :)
