In reply to Chris. Thanks Chris! It's a cool little plugin with limited use, but I have an upcoming post that will be pretty awesome. Stay tuned!

In reply to Mike N. Thanks Mike, that's a really good point - lots of Thai tourists in Bangkok as well, and a big swanky new store like Ikea would be almost a tourist attraction haha.

Interesting stuff !
Perhaps those red dots at Ikea are visitors from inside Thailand ? apparently it’s quite common for thais to come down from upcountry and load up with new furniture/whatnots that they cannot get at home. They can stuff the pickup full of flat packs !

In reply to Shayan Naveed. Thanks Shayan. It was just a plugin I bought from CodeCanyon, only a few hundred baht but it works really well. Now I just need to find another use for it to make it worthwhile. :)

Wow this is extremely impressive and amazing stuff Greg! What tools are you using to make the map slider/overlay?

Very useful man.

In reply to Oliver.

Thanks Oliver, you’re probably right – stuck in a traffic jam is where people tweet. And, of course, shopping malls. “Oooh, look, a new Krispy Kreme!” *click*
