Orita Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 Could any of the old timers here kindly give me some tips where I can buy second magazines of any kind? While there are plenty of second hand book shops in Chiang Mai, it seems that non of them are selling second hand magazines. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orang37 Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 Could any of the old timers here kindly give me some tips where I can buy second magazines of any kind? ... snip ... Hi Khun Orita, I used to find second-hand English language magazines in a used bookstore just behind Talat Thannin off Chang Pluak Road. But what I found varied : once in a while I would find a National Geographic, or a Scientific American, or a Discover, but many times nothing I was interested in. In other words I never really made a trip to that bookstore unless I also happened to be going to Talat Thannin to buy fresh food; and now it has been a long time since I've been to Talat Thannin since I now live on the other side of town. Whether or not the bookstore is still there, I don't know. best, ~o:37; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
femi fan Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 I could have just the place for you! Head off to Big C on the superhighway. When you turn into the approach road, about half way along to the actual Big C store you'll see a long 'shop' on the left hand side that is simply packed full of second hand magazines. From memory prices are very good too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. If you are using them to make beads, there is a shop near BigC that is filled with them. Few are English language but if that's not an issue....

Sao Jiang Mai Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 We have tons of old Citylifes if you wish. And if anyone knows of schools or orphanages who may want some old English language magazines they can contact me at any time and I can give them away.

Mapguy Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 Why do people come to Thailand and then look for second-hand English-language magazines? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulysses G. Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 Because they enjoy reading magazines and keeping up with their own culture, but new ones are too expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rasseru Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Why do people come to Thailand and then look for second-hand English-language magazines? Don't know, but I would guess that not having much money, not being able to read any language other than English and not using the internet very much all have a lot to do with it.

Thanks. Hi ' O " Can you tell what you are looking for any more precisely. you just want to read them or is there some nefarious, [or farious} method to the madness... If you can give me an idea of what mags you are looking for , I may have some of those to fulfil your desieres.... As I have a nasty habit of not throwing anything away, I seem to have some Time,, Newsweek, Spoirts Ill. , ... some like Home and Garden, and the house and yard fix up mags. even some of the scumball grocery store check out mags like Star, Enquirer, etc..... Give me an idea and I can give thought to possibly breaking up my wonderful collection..... Gonzo Can't break up the Nat - Geo on Africa though with all dem haf neked wimmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SomchaiCNX Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 What about Dutch Circle? Or do they only have Thai magazines. Some people like second hand because the extra money they pay in their home country (for sending oversea) does not mean that you really get your magazine delivered in CNX.
