Yes, we ship to every place in Thailand. We will charge you stamp but not packaging. Shipping is for minimum 500 baht purchase. Stamp cost is charged according to http://www.Thailandpost.com. We weight the parcel and inform you total cost before actually be there in the post office.

2. Do you ship to other country?
Yes, we ship to other country as well. We will only charge you stamp. The packaging is free. Shipping is for minimum 500 baht purchase. Stamp cost is charge according to http://www.Thailandpost.com. We weight the parcel and inform you total cost before actually be there in the post office.

3. How many books to do have in your stock?
Honestly, I don’t count my books. One day I will. To date, I will believe I have at least 40,000 books now.

4. What kind of books do you have?
I believe I have the biggest selection of used children’s books in Bangkok. I also have a lot of fictions, nonfiction, home improvement, biography, sport, self development, business, text book, reference etc.

5. What are the conditions?
Our book conditions are in fair, good, very good, like new conditions.

6. Do you buy books?
No, I don’t buy books at this moment. If you have books you don’t want, I encourage you to donate to public schools or to any one close to you who read. If you like, I can send you list of schools that would be grateful to receive your books.

7. Why don’t you open on weekdays?
Selling books is a passion growing from reading books. It’s a fun thing to do on weekend. I have a full time job during Mon-Fri. I am keeping both until I can afford to quit one of them which I hope it will be the Mon-Fri one.

8. I am going by taxi, what do I say to the driver?
The store location is on corner of Soi Lasalle 35, on Sukhumvit 105 road. Its will be easy if you print out following Thai text and give it to the taxi driver.

1) ไป ถนนสุขุมวิท 105 ซอยลาซาลที่ 35 เป็นคลังหนังสือมือสอง
2) ถ้าเข้าทางถนนสุขุมวิท คลังหนังสืออยู่ฝั่งซ้าย ประมาณกลางซอย
3) ถ้าเข้าทางถนนศรีนครินทร์ คลังหนังสืออยู่ฝั่งขวา ประมาณกลางซอย
4) หรือโทรถาม 089-671-1199

9. Do you speak English?
Yes.

10. Do you have books in other languages?
Most of my books are in English. There are non-English books as well. In future, I will create a section for non-English books.

11. Will you give discount for large order?
I will reduce price for purchase from 2500 baht. More discount will apply for larger purchase.
1) Purchase value 2500 baht  5% discount
2) Purchase value 5000 baht  10% discount
3) Purchase value 7500 baht  15% discount
4) Purchase value 10,000 baht  20% discount
5) Purchase value 20,000 baht  30% discount

*** We give 20% discount on all order less than 20,000 baht if you can convince us you work for public school ***

12. Can I search books from your website?
Unfortunately, we are not yet equipped with online searchable database. This is part of our future plan. It will happen in future but I don’t think it will happen in year 2009.

13. How do I order online?
Register as member to our website and post a question for your wish list. It’d be quicker if you provide link to image and detail of your book. Online service is slow as we work as a couple. Our top priority is our 2 small kids. I make sure the kids get more of my attention than the books. I would recommend you visit us at the used book warehouse.

14. How do you price your used books?
Books are priced according to condition, content, size, and their popularity.

15. Do you have promotion and reduced price?
Yes, there is a End of Year Sale in December. I announce my promotion through email. So make sure you register as member with valid email address. I will reduce price to as low as 10 baht each during our end of year sale.

16. Who are you?
The name is Sangwan. I grew up in Betong, a very small charming town in Yala. My family owned rubber plantation but that did not send me overseas. I worked very hard in my school days. The reward was a scholarship from the Australian government many years ago. My husband shares similar background. Together as a team, we work to make a different in our own ways.

17. How do I contact you?
1) Call me at 089-671-1199.
2) Email me at angeltomorrow@hotmail.com
3) Talk to me on msn angeltomorrow@hotmail.com
4) visit our warehouse on Saturday or Sunday. Make sure to check out website before coming. We go somewhere sometimes.
