Updated and improved Interactive Nong Khai Map

Alec — Tue, 08 Sep 2009 05:10:18 +0000

We have had an interactive map on our website for many months, but it had not been updated in a long time. We have now transferred all of the data we collected for our printed map of Nong Khai to our Interactive Nong Khai Town Map.

To make it more easy for users to find the information they are looking for, as there is such a large amount of data to be included, we have created four separate interactive maps as follows:

1.) General Nong Khai Map showing the location of Temples, Shops, Gas Stations, Hospitals, Pharmacies, Attractions, Markets etc…

2.) Nong Khai Accommodation Map showing Nong Khai Hotels, Nong Khai Guesthouses, Nong Khai Resorts and Nong Khai Apartments.

3.) Map of Nong Khai Bars, Nong Khai Restaurants and Nong Khai Coffee Shops

4.) Map of Nong Khai Banks and ATMs

We have tried to include as much information as possible and will be constantly review the data. If, however, there is something additional that you think should be included, please contact us.

Improvements to the Free Nong Khai Map

The first two editions of our free, printed Nong Khai Map have been very well received by visitors and residents of Nong Khai and have also bee a success for those who have advertised on them. Thank you to every one who took the time to give us encouraging feedback about our maps.

However, there is always room for improvement and so I have been very busy over the last month redesigning the map ready for the third edition which will be distributed throughout Nong Khai Over the next couple of days.

If you have already picked up a copy of the July or August edition of our free map, look out for this new and much improved version.

As well as adding in a lot more useful information to the map, the redesign has addressed minor readability issues and I am sure it will prove as popular as ever.
