Kaalle Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 As the title says basically, is there a good place anywhere? And not to expensive perhaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A1Str8 Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 A whole book will be expensive anyway. By the way what does that mean anywhere? There's one in bkk not far from Siam paragon. I know one in Pattaya next to the police station on beach rd. There are two in Chiang Mai in the shopping mall. There's also one in rayong next to the hair salon.

It would almost be as expensive as buying a cheap all-in-one printer/scanner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaalle Posted January 16, 2017 Author Share Posted January 16, 2017 I think my best bet is copying the most important pages and getting print outs. They are usually one baht per piece so no problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prophet01 Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 (edited) Instead of paying for scans why not take photo's of the required pages at your leisure and in the comfort of your own home. Once you have a digital copy you can do with them what you wish. Simply save as JPEGs for viewing, print them or convert them to other formats depending on your end usage Click on the the attachments. I took a photo of a page of my trusty Oxford English and uploaded to my laptop. Then got it converted online for free to editable word and PDF documents.

OE.docx OE.pdf That is actually a pretty good idea since most Iphones or other smart phone cameras are pretty good these days and probably approach or exceed the quality of your typical photocopy machine. Having said that, I think it might still be worthwhile to ask one of the ladies that typically are running the internet café or copy shop what they would charge to do it. Pay them something for their time of course. Can't hurt to ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daffy D Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Presuming it's a book that has been published at some time so why not try e-book download. Lots of e-book download sites in the internet, may of them for free, and you usually have a choice of what format to download. There are also format changers available if you can't find a PDF. https://www.google.co.th/#q=ebook+downloads+free Or search one of these sites for your title:- http://extratorrent.cc/category/2/Books+Torrents.html https://thepiratebay.org/top/200 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fester the benevolent Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 You can get an A4 sized flatbed scanner which will scan to multi-page pdf, jpeg etc from Lazada for less than 2,500 Baht, I doubt you'd be able to find any shop that would scan a book for less than that. Get the scanner and a good bottle of something tasty and spend a day (or weekend if it's a long book!) and have at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bokningar Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Ok all don't laugh to much TIT and all. But wouldn't that be a crime "stealing intellectual property"? And wouldn't it be against TV rule to give advice about committing a crime? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
