Trying to find and follow trails in Thailand can be a big problem esspecilly when following off road as there aren't many that are well marked. A few people have tried to mark some of the trails but over time the signs become burnt or broken. The best things to have are either a good map or even better a Gps device or Gps Phone.
We have tried to put together a few trails to follow which can be downloaded.
If you have a Garmin Gps device or a gps phone such as a Nokia N95 or N82 with a Garmin program Gps waypoints and trails can easily be downloaded to your PC then uploaded to your phone or gps device. The trail can then be followed using your Gps phone.
Garmin Map source
Mapsource is for your pc. You will need to install this program first. It can be downloaded from the garmin site. Unzip the file and open run MAIN first and after run the Setup. Done.
Next you will need a map to go with Map 
Source. These can be bought or there are some for free. Most of the maps are road maps but there are also some topographical maps around, I found one topo map of Thailand which is free downloaded from a google search.
The trail on the right is of Tam Patum with a topo map.
You can the using Map source on your PC upload the tracks and trail to your Gps device.
If using a phone you can now activate the trails zoom in and the can be easily folowed.
Below are some trails that can be downloaded to you pc and used with Garmin Map source.
If you have a trail to add please contact us at:
