I thought so!

"With the new land to work with, the proposed road will stretch from the Phuket Mining Museum in Kathu to the Bang Neow Dum reservoir in Baan Manik.

If it will be a shortcut from Kathu Moo 4 to Sri Soonthorn, Moo 3 and 7, it will cross from Kathu moo 4 somewhere to the road passing the mining museum and find there a way to Sri Soonthorn. Assumingly to either south or west of the heroin monument. not north east of it, behind another hill

What has that to do with the try to show, where it starts and where it ends?

Nope, that is a fault of the person, putting Talang into google and either not knowing, where the other locations are or aren't interested in precise articles.

This would make a bit more sence, wouldn't it? Right now, I have no idea, why google is passing the heroin monument (and not turning left, there) but this is showing, from where to where a shortcut will make sence.
