I just looked at the postings on the map/guide section of CFS and submitted a reference for Mr. John to add for Busaba Massage....but could not find how to make a red flag appear on the map.
While looking through the other listings, I noted one for Proud 66 (currently my favorite massage place) that had a generic write up that was one of my postings in April in the massage locations thread. I didn't post the comment in the listing, but don't mind people lifting my postings if it is useful. I just added another because I like that place so much.
I prefer to get coordinates for difficult-to-find locations because now everyone can have access to Google earth/Maps and find the spot precisely. I also have a MapMagic cd map of Bangkok that automatically shows the coordinates when you move the mouse. If you don't have the CD, you can still get the same data at:

sextile, before we go about re-arranging our procedures to handle Thailand, we might need to get some Thailand updates. We got one overnight (much thanks Yannawa!). I believe we've had a total of 6 updates all year long for Thailand so, needless to say, we need lots more actual information. For comparison sake, we normally receive 500 to 600 tips each week, most for the USA.

Anyone so inclined to help can go to our Thailand listings and either use the link in the upper right that says 'submit listing' (for a totally new listing') or if you see an existing tip that needs updating or for which you have recent experience, click the link included with every listing that says, 'Read all reviews and add your own, upload pictures, etc.'. Every submission is studied, edited and approved before it goes live. By the way, regarding the GPS coordinates, the map is smart enough to pick them up automatically -- assuming we have an exact address. If we don't, it does not generate coordinates and we have to manually do it.

Your fellow cruisers would greatly appreciate the help, guys! On this I am sure.

Keith, I think you'll find that since Thai addresses are often not in numerical order), your map is not going to be smart enough to figure out where they are. The markers are going to have to be placed manually.

icon513, I'm sure Thai addresses will be a challenge. But so are those in Florence, Italy and Moscow, Russia, just to name two. We rely on those on the ground to help sort it all out. I hope we can count on you.

Generally, as a rule, realizing our audience is mostly Western and mostly American, we try to prepare things with them in mind -- to enter data that resembles what we were taught in terms of how things should be written. But we also try to honor local methods of saying and writing things. It is a bit of a balancing act, but it works.

again_ as I just arr back in BKk a few days ago and am now catching up mwith all news etc. no time now to spend much on. Plus this computyer keeps asking me to log in after every post.
Thanks khun Keith for your efforts. BUt adresses here in Thld and BKK work quite different from those in Firenze or Mockba (local for Florence and Moscow)-you do need maps and more precise descriptions for many places out of that central area. Or just a mouthful of Thai to ask. Even google maps often do not show enough detail.
Ex. another sauna nearby here (RamkamHaeng area)_named Nevada-it is actually in soi xx/3 and that 3 is important-as it is not the ''main'' soi=sidestreet, but only the 3d small alley after it. If you do not know that, you can go looking for hours without finding.
But I'll try to do my best when I have catched up and more interesting things to mention.

By now I'm convinced the best maps are on www.shamlessmack.wordpress.com in the "directions" link. It holds very detailed enlargements, which I found very helpful.
