Grammar Book

**blu_boy** · 26th June 2006 14:26

I am helping a private with her writing and i would like her to buy a solid grammar book to have as reference.

I'm new to bkk and am looking for a bookstore to buy some books.

Where and what stores do you recommend??

If you could, please be a little more specific than "it's in Siam Square", where exactly??

Thanks in advance!!

Pleasure, I think you have a choice of American, British, or some bits translated into Thai.

Its at Siam Square

Get off the BTS on the opposite side to Siam Paragon, walk around until you find the Toyota shop display (currently has an F1 car) and its right in front of you. Or go two blocks to the Chula shop.

Or just turn right at the noodle shop there were a dark-skinned, black-hair girl works. Then walk about ... three to seven blocks where you'll see a mobile phone shop. You can tell if you're at the right shop because there will be a bunch of those plastic Nokia snap-on bodies on the walls. Go about nine and a half blocks more and you'll see a silver Isuzu pick-up truck, it's always parked there from about 5 PM to 5:30 PM. The owner is a friend of mine, I can't remember his name but he has black hair and scratches his ass a lot. Ask him, he just might know where to find the next noodle shop. I hope this helps you, bro.

Mike,

Doing fine. Back from Oz refreshed. Teaching four courses a week (gotta keep busy eh?)
Got the flu in Oz so I came back to Thailand to get healthy again. Also to spread some good Aussie bugs around the place, maybe start my own flu epidemic. So far the only victim is the wife

How's your life? Family good?Like my new avatar?

**aging one** · 29th June 2006 11:45

Mike I really didnt even see the new avatar. Its great, one of a kind. Is that the mare that one the Melbourne cup 2 years ago? :smile:

**MikeS** · 29th June 2006 12:27

No idea. I stole it from somewhere a while back (can't recall where). I actually have a little movie clip and that's a still. Never worked out how to upload a movie clip as an avatar - probably very easy, but still too tricky for luddite me.
