I placed my order....... maybe I am first

Actually the honours go to Ualan for buying the very first copy of Gor's autobiography. It is not even in the shops yet. I think you bought the fourth copy. I was trying to get them autographed by him today. But, the window in the control room is fixed open only one inch. His book was just a fraction too thick to squeeze through which is a shame. So Gor hasn't actually touched his book yet. I will send it by EMS today. Maybe some customers will get it before him!

Everyone who buys his book from www.BuyThaiBooks.com during the first two months will receive the following stickers for free:



The top one says "we love the king" and the others are "welcome" in Thai.

We will also be entering all the names into a lucky draw. The lucky winner at the end of this month will win a unique watch with Thai numerals:

I placed my order....... maybe I am first

I could have waited a few weeks when I will be in Bangkok, but I wish to show my support as soon as possible, not something I do enough of.

Thanks Gor and Richard for getting this project completed..... I truly hope that it will be a tremendous success

Thanks, Richard, but doesn't Thailand have laws about child labour?

[klnbgqr]

Yes, Nong Grace was just printing your order. She will be going to the post office this afternoon with it. Of course I will go with her as she cannot drive yet!

I just posted my Order today and anxious looking forward of receiving my Copy.

By the way, Nong Grace looks so cute.

I hope that when I come to visit Thailand next time I will find the time to visit you all in Samut Prakan.

Looking forward to it.

Richard ,once the book is out wondered if you thought of having the book sold in major book stores in the future?

Thailand Life by Panrit "Gor" Daoruang
362 pages. 32 pages of colour pictures.
ISBN 978-974-7310-09-2

Panrit "Gor" Daoruang is Thailand's most famous teenager. He writes about his life growing up in Thailand. Gor became famous around the world when he started writing about his life on his website. He then later wrote a weekly column for the Bangkok Post at the tender age of only 16. He writes about every aspect of Thai culture that he has personally experienced. From his own wedding to the birth of his daughter. This book is a must for anyone interested in Thai culture or who are thinking about teaching in Thailand. For the first time ever, here is the story of what Thai teenagers are really up to in their spare time. Not to be missed!

The book includes 32 pages of colour pictures. The author is donating 100% of his fees to a trust fund for the education of his daughter, Nong Grace.

Gor is the founding member of our forums and also webmaster for www.LearningThai.com and www.ThailandLife.com.

The book can be bought at:

http://www.buythaibooks.com

The book is literally hot off the presses. It will be for sale locally at Asia Books and Bookazine in a week or two. We will also be selling it later today at our own Thai site www.PaknamBooks.com. This will be the same price as Asia Books and with free shipping.

We will also be giving away free stickers for everyone who buys at www.BuyThaiBooks.com. More information on this later.

People have been telling us that Gor's book is already in Bookazine in Bangkok, however, Asia Books is being really slow. The problem is, they are also a distributor which means they send to the smaller book stores around Thailand as well. I am not sure what the delay is, but it would help Gor if we can get some people ringing around the Asia Book stores asking if they have Thailand Life in stock. Also, say that you saw the book review in the Bangkok Post and that they said it is for sale in Asia Books already.

Title: Thailand Life by Panrit 'Gor' Daoruang
Publisher: Bamboo Sinfonia
ISBN: 978-974-7310-09-2
Retail Price: 395 baht

You can ring any of these stores or one per day!

Central City Bang Na 02 361-0743
Siam Paragon 02 610 9609
Siam Discovery - 02 658 0418
Emporium - 02 664 8545
Times Square - 02 2500162
Seacon Square - 02 721 8867

Hopefully if they get enough phone calls they will ring their head office to ask about the delay.

Thank you.

It was difficult to stop her! She wants to "help" with everything.



Here she is proudly promoting her father's book.

[klnbgqr]

It will be sold in all major book stores soon. It is being distributed at the moment. The publisher says it can take Asia Books two weeks to get it out to all their stores.

Hi Richard,
I got the book already... and the stickers. Thanks.
Congrats to Gor. Cute daughter.

[klnbgqr]

Thanks for letting us know. You probably got a copy before Gor did! He has obviously touched the manuscript but not the finished book.

[klnbgqr]

The Thailand Life book is selling well. It is already our bestseller after only a few days. Here are two pictures of Nong Grace "helping" in the book store this afternoon. These are all the books we are sending to the post office today.

[FoetAgerhot46]

Richard. I think you should charge customers a small premium on each book to have it personally dispatched by Miss Grace ! -or maybe "signed " by her in her father's absence

[Drysnyaty]

yes, an autograph by Nong Grace would be nice

[kylsq0Ln]

My copy arrived today. Thanks! No sign of an autograph...

The stickers will be much appreciated here too...

[klnbgqr]

You will have to wait for Nong Grace to start Kindergarten as she hasn't started writing much yet. And if you want Gor to autograph it, then you would have to wait for volume two of his autobiography. Incidentally, as you might know, 100% of his royalties for book one go towards the educational fund for Nong Grace. Gor has decided that for book two he will donate 100% of his royalties to charities that help street children and other children in need.

We had contact from someone in Thailand who wanted to know if there are discounts for bulk purchases of the book. For example for schools. We are now doing this at www.PaknamBooks.com

Buy 4 books get 1 book free (works out at 316 baht each)
