Can anyone give me the address of a bookstore in Bangkok that sells Thai literature that has been translated? I am interested in picking up a Thai book or two.

Kent,

So I take that as a yes? Give me your number and I will give you a call. I just have to make sure I get my bus ticket to Sukhothai before I can give you a call. I want to be headed to Sukhothai on Monday, Feb. 20.

Kent,

I will try to give you a call. I arrive in Bangkok at 4:30PM. I don't know how long it will take to find a hotel and get settled.

Hope to see you in Bangkok.
