Hi Camille. Yes, it was a popular post – and what a fabulous prize :-)

For the next draw…

Benjawan Becker and Chris Chris Pirazzi donated two copies of their new software dictionary.

For those who haven’t read it, my review is here: Three-Way Talking Thai Dictionary

If you want to know when the draw(s) start, be sure to sign up for WLT’s RSS feed as I’m never 100% sure when posts will happen. As you know, life goes WHOOOOSH in Thailand, and I’m hanging on for the wild ride same as the next person.

Great idea Cat to have a draw, unfortunately I dropped by too late. Did good on your comment box as well with 60+ entries!

Looking forward to a new draw.

Yes, you can get Teach Yourself Thai in Bangkok at Siam Paragon. But Speak Thai with Confidence I'll have to check to be sure. I've just asked David if there is Thai script in the STWC. I have a blind spot for transliteration, so it matters to me.

Rick, Thank you for posting about Speak Thai with Confidence. It’s in amazon.co.uk already, so it should be in Thailand soon.

I wonder why the delay in getting TYT to the North American market. Reprinting for US prices?

Hey Cat, being ever watchful for a copy of this book/CDs, it’s now on the pre-order list at http://www.amazon.com. Sad part is it won’t be available in NorthAm until February 2011.

It appears to come as just a paperback (Feb. 18, 2011), then paperback with two CDs (March 11, 2011), plus there will be Speak Thai with three CDs (Feb. 18, 2011). I don’t know, but maybe you can suss it out with David.

Go here for search results.
