painai2 Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 My favorite bookstore is Kinokuniya bookstore at Siam Paragon in Bangkok. They have a huge selection of books. Or you might also try ordering the book (if it exists) at a bookstore such as SE-ED Book Center at Tukcom or Bookazine in Royal Garden in Pattaya. I've ordered books from each of these bookstores. I just had to but down a deposit and they called me when the book came in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buddy Posted June 29, 2010 Author Share Posted June 29, 2010 Probably banned - big brother does not want the masses to think too much I don't think this book is banned in Thailand as you can buy it openly at most large bookstores, however it is in the English language. If it was China, North Korea, Russia, Cuba and even parts of the USA then yes. If 1984 is banned in just the Thai language thereby limiting the readership audience then you may be onto something that provides succor to people who propose that Thailand does not have a free press?

lonewolf99 Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 (edited) 1984....you might find it is past the sell by date ? Seriously - try AMAZON.COM you never know you might get lucky ? or maybe not - I see the drop down search option does not list Thai...I did see a Russian version...?

Even though there may not be such a thing in the English language describing "Orientmoron" believe me they exist in reality hiding behind other World descriptions, how do I know?....I have worked with them all over Asia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
