A part of my assignment for my geography class is to create a entry about thematic maps of a country of my choice. I chose Thailand as my country for many various reasons. Take a look at my first entry to get a better idea of why I picked this country. With that being said let's get into this. 

Thematic Maps:

Thematic Maps. What are they? Truthfully I don't have a clue, but hey, this is exactly what this blog is for to discover the undiscovered. To dive into depths of the human subconscious that have not yet been ventured. To reach land that no man has yet to explore. To prove the earth is No Longer Flat! Okay, maybe the blog isn't meant for that much, but on the idea of a thematic Map; what exactly are they?

"A thematic map is a type of map especially designed to show a particular theme connected with a specific geographic area. There maps "can portray physical, social, political, cultural, economic, sociological, agricultural, or any other aspects of a city, state, region, nation, or continent". (Thank you google)

Now that we have a general idea of what a thematic map consists of lets get into it.
