A bow of gratitude for this. _/|\_ I have included a link to Cannonical Collections for Practice in the Cannonical Texts page of thaiforestwisdom.org
You may also want to have a link to the new map page, https://www.readingfaithfully.org/living-in-the-land-of-the-buddha/
It is meant to be an easy to print out map with the most important sites. The other maps on your Geography page are, of course, wonderful. But they are difficult to print.
