Rasseru Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 I read yesterday a review in one of the national newspapers of a just-published two-volume translation of this classic Thai tale. Does anyone know whether it is for sale in Chiangmai and, if so, where? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thaddeus Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 According to Amazon, it's scheduled for release in December, so you'll have to wait a couple of weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puwa Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 Perhaps the best guide to traditional Thai social mores available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rasseru Posted November 24, 2010 Author Share Posted November 24, 2010 Picked up a two-volume set today at Suriwong Book Center. There was at least one more set in stock. Thank you again, cmsanuk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mamborobert Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 Silkworm Books in Suthep is also advertising this for sale...but has a December date (from an old advert). May be worth giving them a call also if Suriwong is out of stock. The two volume slipcased set is 2700 baht. Main volume is 1500 baht, Companion volume 1500 baht.
