Bangkok on Street View
How to recognise the city from a panorama
Thailand drives on the left and writes in looping Thai script. Bangkok adds tuk-tuks, the elevated skytrain viaducts and dense bundles of cables sagging over the street.
What the streets look like
Traffic keeps left and concrete viaducts of the elevated railway run above the streets. Cables hang in dense clusters and signage is in looping Thai script.
How to tell it from lookalikes
Left-hand traffic and the skytrain viaducts separate it from Ho Chi Minh City. From Kuala Lumpur it differs by cable density and the number of tuk-tuks.
Useful details
Tuk-tuks are three-wheeled with open sides, and taxis come in bright pink, green and orange. Temple roofs are gilded with upturned corners, visible from a distance.
Geogessr drops you somewhere random in the world — sometimes in Bangkok. Work out where you are and drop a pin on the map.
Country giveaways
A quick check when the panorama looks unfamiliar: these signs are visible almost anywhere in the city.
