What is PromptPai?
PromptPai is a method to identify a location in Thailand by using a numeric map code instead of the conventional postal address which is both lengthy and inefficient.
PromptPai codes are available in 2 forms:
PromptPai code can also be displayed as QR code.
Why PromptPai?
PromptPai is designed to solve the location referencing problem in Thailand. Since the conventional postal addressing in Thailand is not systematic and not exact, we proposed to use a PromptPai numeric code for human communications instead. For example, this lengthy address "Metamedia Technology Co., Ltd. Rm. 407, 4F, Sathorn Square Office Tower, 98 North Sathorn Rd., Silom, Bangrak, Bangkok 10500 Thailand" can be represented by the PromptPai code 1000 0001 or 021081790 (telephone number).
Apart from the latitude/longitude coordinate that will pinpoint the exact location of the place, PromptPai code can be looked up for other information: place name, address, telephone number, pictures, opening hours, web site, etc.
