Awake Goy Thailand is a big country, at just under 200,000 square miles. Two years ago, Google made the decision to try and map as much of the country as possible, which is difficult considering that most of the nation is countryside.
Google added 150 new places of interest in the country, and it was all the work of a single man who walked over 300,000 miles with a 40 pound camera on his back to capture it all.
In order to capture the beauty of Thailand’s countryside, a Thai triathlete named Panupong Luangsa-ard strapped on the backpack and began his journey over the hills and through the forests. Using a mix of transportation methods, Panupong travelled an estimated 500,000 km, walking 500 km of it.
In addition to the new sites in Thailand, Google’s Street View has been extended to exotic locations such as the coral reefs in Indonesia, Dubai’s Burj Khalifa, and the pyramids in Egypt.
“While collecting just the tea plantations and strawberry fields, he burned through four pairs of shoes,” a Google rep said.
The new places include the Sukhothai Historical Park and ancient temples at Ayutthaya.
The entire quest to capture these sites took two years, with breaks on rainy days because the camera needs fair skies to get a clear shot, reported Mashable.
Panupong traveled across Thailand with a Google Trekker backpack that weighs about 18 kilograms, and extends about 2 feet above his shoulders. The camera battery lasts around six to eight hours on a full charge.
The backpack captures 360-degree photos.
