Google Street View coming to Thailand

[bao-bao]

I read via ThaiVisa/Richard Barrow that Google has signed a partnership to do street views in parts of Thailand as an added feature to Google Maps. It ought to provide some interesting browsing - especially if the transliteration is a little forgiving of the multiple spellings. If you're using Chrome it will translate the site below for you.

Hopefully the Google crew will capture some of these mythical International Agents who allegedly conduct covert surveillance operations from Sunee bars - presumably peeking through eyeholes cut in their copy of the Bangkok Post.

Thanks, that's great... I hope they do Bangkok too. Streetview's handy for checking out a hotel's neighbourhood/surrounds before you book in but it doesn't seem to be present in a lot of developing countries.

www.mapjack.com (http://www.mapjack.com) has had street views of Pattaya and a bunch of other Thai cities for years.
