This satellite image from maps.com is a simple thumbnail used to display satellite imagery available for commercial purchase. A 300 dpi TIFF version of this image can be purchased for $49.95.

The image depicts Bangkok, Thailand and surrounds. It was acquired 7 September 2001. Although the image is interesting in many ways, it is lacking in nominal information: place names, road names and the names of hydrological features are absent. The most interesting aspect of this image is the sediment plume spewing into the Gulf of Thailand from the large river bisecting the city.
