What are the best esl bookstores in Bangkok. I recently went to the Chulalongkorn Un. bookstore, next to the British Council, but I was a bit disappointed with the limited selction of material.

Try here, it's off of Chaengwattana Road:

Language Media Book Centre. 164/33-38 Muang Thong Thani Road. Bond Street, Bangpood, Pakkret, Nonthaburi. Tel: 981-7600/4. Fax: 981-7605.

Loads of books there. They will have just about everything you need, and if they don't stock it you can order it.

I agree with culicine in that LMC is great. I have used it for over 16 years and not only for ESL books but business books, TOEIC materials, TOEFL materials and just about anything you could need to teach any subject. The staff are excellent and go out of their way to satisfy their customers.

What are the basic books the following use..

Grades 3-up (12?)

University

Language schools

Can I find used copies in Chatachok mkt just to have a look?

Thx

A lot of schools use the popular series. These include the Let's Go Series (starters-level 6), Get Set Go series,

For older students and adults there are series such as Interchange

I know one school that uses American File for the high school.

Thanks Scott, those are widely used in Korea as well.

DK books from what I remember. There is a branch in RCA and one not far from Central World and one in Pakrat.
