SARAHJ101 Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 Does anyone know if there is a library in or around Pattaya that Farangs can join? If so do they have a reasonable selection of english written books? I'm finding it very expensive buying a new book each week! Any info appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

britmaveric Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 Library in Soi 6 believe or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetchariot Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 Library in Soi 6 believe or not. Haha, I'm not sure if SarahJ would appreciate that 'library' as much as the rest of us. Canterbury Tales in soi Chaiyaphum has a big 2'nd hand book store, take back the one you've finished and get a discount off the next. Most under 100 baht with trade in, from memory. I know the landlord keeps trying to Spam on here, but he's definitely not my Dad and I would recommend it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PattayaParent Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 There's a second hand book store opposite Yensabai Condo and you'll be suppporting a charity too (Thais4Life), I beleive they have an exchange book discount too. Also a second hand book shop in the basement of TukCom on South Road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tammi Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 Library in Soi 6 believe or not. Was just going to write OP that he should ask you about Soi 6 library. Hope you are well and enjoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Conners Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 I always though it was a joke but there is actually a library in Soi 6. It's on the right side as you go towards the beach, about 100 mtr down. Gray building, only Thai signs (no signs in English). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's with all this sniggering, nudging and winking when people mention Soi 6? There's buggerall down there except the library. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Conners Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 What do you mean by "how, exactly"? You can walk or ride your bike or even drive your car ... unless you get distracted on the way of course Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilko Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 Soi 6 library - I often like to go down there and get between the covers of a thick tome and have a really good thumb through of the latest issues - or is that the labiary? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
