The site you mentioned has some nice overview maps for Thailand here (http://www.world-gazetteer.com/wg.php?x=1114359196&men=gmap&lng=en&gln=xx&dat=32&geo=-208&srt=npan&col=aohdq).

Also a 'gazetteer', though not that much centered on population statistics, but on locating places:

Quite useful! Complete with shaded map, coordinate, altitude, nearest places and airports, plus current temperature, precipitation and cloud cover diagrams.

Thanks for the useful links. I note that World Gazetteer features some rather strangely-shaped offshore islands. The wierdest must be Koh Samet which has been transformed from a north-south 'foot-long' wiener into an east-west rissole. :rolleyes:
