Rating:  Summary: The best choice for Thailand - names of places in Thai. Review: This is the most useful map I could find about Thailand, but it's not the most comfortable or durable one, for convenience go for the B & B Map (check out my review about that map). The best and unbeatable advantage of this map (yet) is that the names of the places on the map are written both in English AND in Thai. Clearly, this is a valuable asset in a country where many locals don't speak (not to say read) the language. For this plus point this map is the best choice hands down. Downsizes: This map is big due to its scale of 1:1,400,000 (the biggest in the market) that can be a little clumsy at certain times but allow the existence of many details. Take into account the fact that it's not laminated (unlike the runner up B& B) and therefore not waterproof Another disadvantage is the fact that there are no city maps alongside the main Thailand map as there are in the maps of most of the competitors. About that I can reveal the fact that in the main cites and islands you will get free copies of similar maps - so the only map you'll really need is the full-size map of Thailand.
