Google Street View added 150 spectacular points for users to navigate around, and revealed that the large collection was compiled by an intrepid trekker who covered an estimated 310,685 miles carrying the famous camera backpack device

The mapping mission was entrusted to Thai triathlete Panupong Luangsa-ard who used a variety of transportation methods during the two-year task.

This included walking 310 miles and wearing out four pairs of shoes in the process, but sometimes reaching some of the far flung destinations was only half the battle.

Luangsa-ard had to wait for sunny days so the 360-degree camera could get a clear shot of the landscapes, and the device's battery only ran for six to eight hours a session before it ran out of charge.

The iconic Trekker backpack also weighs around 18kg and rises two feet above the wearer's shoulders.

Luangsa-ard's impressive portfolio went live on Monday and includes the Sukhothai Historical Park and ancient temples at Ayutthaya.

'Our intrepid trekker walked 500 kilometers with a heavy backpack across the length and breadth of the country,' Google wrote on their blog. 

'Our trekker also found some real elephants on his travels, too.'

As well as the new sites in Thailand, the Google's Street View service has already been extended to feature the safari plains in South Africa, Dubai's Burj Al Arab and even a British Airways executive jet.
