Where would we
be without maps? The answer is...lost. Ever since their invention, maps have
gone from being an explorer’s best friend to a tool for making great art. Today

example, used to be in the hands of every traveler in Thailand.
However, in
2019, the Chandler family map business finally went under. It closed because
these days, anyone can locate anything in Bangkok using online map apps such as
Google Maps.
如果沒有地圖我們會身處何方呢?答案就是——迷路。自從地圖發明以來,地圖從成為探險家最好的朋友一路變成創作偉大藝術的工具。今日,我們有世界各地的地圖。例如,過去每位到泰國的旅客都人手一本萳西•錢德勒的曼谷手繪地圖。
然而到了2019年,錢德勒家族的手繪地圖事業終於歇業落幕。關門大吉的原因是因為現今任何人都可以使用如
Google 地圖等線上地圖應用程式來找到有關曼
谷的一切。
谷的一切。
