For over two years, Google has been sending people into further flung places to capture as much of the earth as it can for its Street View service (http://mashable.com/2016/01/23/google-street-view-trekker-program-small-regions/).
**t everywhere can be captured by car, so intrepid trekkers are sent out*on foot with a special backpack (http://mashable.com/2013/06/27/street-view-trekker/) with a 360-degree camera.
In Thailand, the fruit of that labour has largely been thanks to work of one guy, Google tells Mashable.*
