Sakon Nakhon Map now in English


My biggest complaint regarding Google maps of this area, 
they were available only in the language of the region.
That seems to have been changed recently.





Having set up my own map from an older version of google maps, I now have to spend some time moving my markers. In the below example my football player seems to be a bit too far south



Most description windows are in Thai, by right clicking on the text it is translated to English. You only need to do that once. After that translation is automatic.
