KED Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Although my Thai partner can read in English, his comprehension is far better in Thai. I would like to find some western literature to share that has been translated into Thai. I found a Thai language copy of "Catcher In the Rye" at Kinokuniya but asked the desk about other titles such as "To Kill A MockingBIrd" but the representative checked her computer and said that there is no current translation in Thai available to order. I am not looking for old classics like Shakespeare or Homer but also not looking for popular culture authors like Ludlum - I am looking for authors like Ray Bradbury, Conrad, Faulkner - any ideas? Maybe some university bookstores would have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beano2274 Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Chula bookshop might be worth a visit? A while back I bought a Harry Potter book in English which is huge, by comparison the Thai version is like a small paperback, could stuff it in your trouser pocket it was that small.

Maybe the censor has been at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
