Just found this great map, based on ASTER GDEM data (higher resolution than the older SRTM data).
Also includes data from GSHHS v2 (coastlines) and HydroSHEDS rivers.
ASTER GDEM Thailand v1.02 | Maps of Malaysia
Actually covers not only Thailand, but big parts of it's neighbours:
Coverage: The whole of Thailand (tiles bordering Malaysia can be obtained from the Malaysia map) and Cambodia; most of Laos and Vietnam (excluding the Northern most parts); portions of Myanmar (up to Mandalay as the north-western most tile covered). Includes these cities: Rangoon, Phnom Penh, Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh city and Vientiane, and Bangkok, of course.
Approx: N4-21 E96-108
Contours: 10m 100m 500m
Size: 1.16Gb
It comes as a package to be installed into MapSource, and for some reason it doesn't show up in BaseCamp when installed. (Anybody can tell me why?). So I opened it in MapSource and exported a .img file to put in my GPS, then BaseCamp can use it from there.
Actually I'm also keeping it (and my other maps) on my hard disk, and use a combination of ImDisk virtual disk software to create a very small (8Mb) virtual disk M: and the NTFS Junction feature to make a Garmin folder there, that actually points to the Garmin maps on my main hard disk (the real, not the virtual disk) - BaseCamp actually reads all the maps from there and I don't have to connect my Montana every time. If anybody is interested in details, I can post separately.
Right now the only problem I'm having is if I enable this map and the RideAsia North Thailand GPS map together, the RideAsia map goes on top and the contours don't display at all. Anybody can tell me the simplest/best way to change the maps drawing order?
P.S.
On that website they also have an ASTER GDEM based map for Malaysia (10m contours), and an SRTM based map for the whole South-East Asia (50m contours).
