good waterproof maps for southeast asia
 

We are looking for some good maps for :
Thailand,Laos, Cambodia having the secondary roads,national parks and village names. The most current the better.

I have yet to travel in that part of the world, but for other parts of Asia I have found Reise Know How world mapping project pretty good. These maps are waterproof and they list maps for Thailand 1:1.2 mil and Cambodia 1:500000. Possibly a bit on the small scale for you though.

I have used the Reise maps in Thailand and Laos and found them to be ok, they are robust and waterproof, also they use gps coords rather than basic grids so you can use in conjunction with your gps

We are heading to the area on Sunday. We picked up these maps from Golden Triangle Riders:

Maps of Thailand & Laos Maps - Tourism Maps of S.E. Asia Sales Online

They don't cover the whole of the countries, though, but what it does cover is nicely detailed.

you can get waterproof paper that will go in your inkjet printer. simply copy the useful parts of the map.

I've used it before to make on bike nav maps that are very robust and waterproof, leaving the less robust original map to be carried in the dry and brought out for planning etc.

The paper is quite expensive, but not overly so an no special inks are needed. It is a good way to work it!

I ended up with a GT rider Laos map, national geographic thai and cambo maps. Look to do the job, just need to find a marker that will work. I will order the VN map just incase we can get in.
