Google has mapped out 150 new places of interest in Thailand with the help of Thai triathlete Panupong Luangsa-ard.
Panupong travelled an estimated 500,000 km using various transportation methods, and walked about 500 km of it.
"While collecting just the tea plantations and strawberry fields, he burned through four pairs of shoes," a Google rep said.
The new places include the Sukhothai Historical Park and ancient temples at Ayutthaya.
Nestled in northern Thailand, Sukhothai Historical Park was once the capital of ancient Siam. Sukhothai means “dawn of happiness”, and now you too can explore this happy place from the palm of your hand with Google Maps. Today, the park joins over 150 new places and national treasures that are now available in 360-degree panoramic imagery on Google Street View.
From ancient temples, to tropical beaches, to strawberry plantations and rice terraces, this new Street View collection showcases the beauty and diversity of The Kingdom. Our intrepid trekker walked 500 kilometers with a heavy backpack across the length and breadth of the country to capture images of places like this:
Temple visits are a must for any visitor to Thailand.

See ancient Khmer ruins at Phanom Rung National Park, or get up close to the intricate Buddhist and Hindu sculptures at the The Sanctuary of Truth — a temple made entirely of wood, just outside Bangkok.
