wpcoe Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 Sort of related to this topic, there is a new foreign books store on Phetkasem on the west side between the tessabahn/police station corner (never can remember the name of that main road that leads to the train station) and Soi 80. It's on the corner of either a soi or an alley. I didn't notice it until this week, so I think it's new. Maybe you could barter/trade books with the owner? If needed, I can report back with a more detailed description of the location and a picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be wrong but i think the place that has been mentioned is on the row of shops/resturants right opposite the Train Station, it's next door to the Visa Run place. I'm pretty sure that they have extended as before i'm sure it was only a single unit but i went past the other day and noticed that it is now 2 units.

That may be the place with the monthly book exchanges, I don't know. But, the place I mentioned -- a second place, which is actually a book store -- is located on Phetkasem Road, not opposite the train station. I only mention this, since you quoted my post, and people might think this new book store is opposite the train station. It isn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hhfarang Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 These are two different book stores and not the previous swap location either. The one across from the train station deals in used books and buys, sells, and swaps (for a profit of course). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wpcoe Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 FYI, the bookstore on Phetkasem Rd between Soi 78 and the tessabahn has a sign in the side window saying: "Hua Hin Book Exchange." The name of the store is either "Blue and Yellow" or "Yellow and Blue." Guess what colors the store is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TenDreams Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 If you fancy going further afield (nice drive), there is a bookshop on Paknampran beach in Pranburi (30KM south of Hua Hin) that buys/sells/trades books of all sorts. It's called Beachside Books and is just past the big resort Villa Maroc, and next to Jolyn's Bar. You can find more info on the website through facebook (there is a website but not sure if I can post URL here). They serve good drinks too. Cheers.
