Swift Version

        let location = CLLocationCoordinate2DMake(13.724362, 100.515342);
        let region = MKCoordinateRegionMakeWithDistance(location, 500.0, 700.0)
        self.mkMapView.setRegion(region, animated: true)
        // Drop a pin
        let dropPin = MKPointAnnotation();
        dropPin.coordinate = location;
        dropPin.title = "Le Normandie Restaurant";
        self.mkMapView.addAnnotation(dropPin);
