Map of Thailand

 

Map of Thailand with surrounding areas. - Landkarte von Thailand. - Mapa de Tailandia. - Carte de Thaïlande.

 



Thailand's capital is Bangkok (= Krung Thep), which is also the biggest city of the country. Flights to Thailand usually go to Bangkok. Other important cities and towns are Udon Thani, Khon Kaen, Ubon Ratchathani, Nakhon Ratchasima, Surat Thani, Rayong, Nakhon Si Thammarat, Phuket and Hat Yai.
The official language of Thailand is Thai. This language is written in its own script, also called Thai, which developed little more than 500 years ago from a Khmer script. In our map we have given the names of all localities in Thailand in the Thai script.
Tourism is of high importance in Thailand. The most frequently visited destinations are the region around Phuket and the city of Bangkok. We would appreciate more detailed information, also about tourism, flights, or individual tours to Thailand.

This is our Map of the World with original scripts (original size 70 x 100 cm), from which the detailed map shown above has been cut out. The numbers of city inhabitants and vegetational zones were researched by hand for every country, by using the sources listed below. This procedure prevented the map from containing traditional errors provoked by simply copying such information from previous maps.

The map can be ordered for 11.50 Euros (+ postage and packing) at www.wissenladen.de.

 

Sources on which the information contained in this map is based:

 

The vegetational base map was aligned with satellite pictures from Google Earth.

The official names of the countries are quite well researched at www.geonames.de.

Also here you can find information on the geography of many countries: www.geographixx.de.

The numbers of inhabitants of the cities were taken from www.citypopulation.de.

And the mountain peak altitudes were largely derived form www.peakbagger.com.
