Today I came to know what is Murphy's law =( The sun is shining, birds are singing, nature invites to the forest and me... being laid up with runny nose without any strength =(
But!!! I have Google and it's new Street View mapping projects, which make it possible to travel to Amazon rain forest or the cities of Thailand. As I always wanted to visit Thailand, it's a great chance to make my weekend more colorful.
Viewers can comfortably take a trip through the Amazon basin or witness the reconstruction of Thailand after last year’s devastating monsoon. The string of 50,000 images taken along the rivers capture give us a beautiful 360 degree view. If you’re unsure of where to look, Google offers various locations for “sightseeing.” You can walk down the paths of the largest developed community in the Amazon, or float down the Rio Negro. If you’re feeling adventurous, feel free to navigate the jungles or plot the location and take note of where Brazil nuts are harvested. =)
With its latest Street View images, Google brings more attention to the Amazon rain forest and its issues, namely the effects of deforestation on a grand scale, despite the potential for beauty that lies within.
On the other side of the globe, the roads of Bangkok, Phuket and Chiang Mai have also received the Street View treatment, to much fanfare by The Tourism Authority of Thailand.
“We really want to show that Thailand isn’t still underwater,” David Marx, Google’s Tokyo-based communications manager, told Reuters. “People should see Thailand for what it is.”
So if you are bored at home and have no possibility to go outside, let's travel with Google!
