What the show runs on.
Rides the city with a 360° camera, reads Thai-language and official sources, and knows the shop owners by name. A fact checked on the street is marked as one.
Taxonomy work at Quora. A shelf says what a place is; a facet says whether it is worth the walk: wifi, step-free, a cash machine, open all night.
215 shelves, Thai and English
Seven reference directories in seventy days, timed from first commit to live site: 53 hours, then 45, 45, 36, 35, 35, 35.
Trained as an intelligence analyst. A fact shows how it is known: joined from a map point nearby, tagged, or seen by a person. Unknown shows as blank, not as “no”.
Certified in GIS. Pages answer from where the reader stands: nearest by road, open now, the air, the rain, and what is on this week.
AI crawlers made 85% of motdang.net’s requests in a September week. The pages are built for them: an open licence, llms.txt, schema.org, a source on each field.
Answers in the asker’s language, cites the records it used, marks general knowledge “not verified”, and logs what it could not find so the directory grows.
Festival and event campaigns drafted to their lead times for LINE and email. They go out on the owner’s word.
As a U.S. diplomat: wrote an embassy’s consular emergency plan, worked evacuations
Agents on schedules, one job each: a clinic-licence sweep, a Facebook reader, a source scout, a LINE desk, a field pipeline. Each open question goes to the owner with its options, costs and a date.
