I use a Eng Thai engineering dictionary.

It is very useful for all sorts of things

I nearly posted a similar topic recently as i had some problems with the car.

I can usually get what I want in a roundabout way, but it would be great to get a list of all the parts of a car.

"look ma" for example - wheel bearings

If you have it closeby, could you please post the ISBN and/or the names of the authors as well as the publishing comany for the benefit of other members? Dictionaries are a bit of a jungle, and lots of junk gets published although it should not.

Cheers in advance.

Well on the outside hardback cover it is called

"Engineering's Dictionary English-Thai"

and inside it is called "Electric Science and Mechanical Dictionary"

Anyway look out for a green 650 pages hardback book,

150 Baht from DK Books. No ISBN number.

Sorry for delay in replying, have been "fixing" the computer

No ISBN number and the authors name is in thai.

I think it is a common book as I have seen three for sale in secondhand bookshops.

In case this helps the DK bookshop bar code is
