One year ago, I came across a book in Bookazine - letters for TGs to send to farang boyfriends. It was divided into sections based on topic, and every two pages contained one letter - one page with the english version, the other with the thai version.
It's not: "Hello My Big Big Honey!": Love Letters...
All this was, was a collection of letters for TGs to send to farang boyfriends; some of them had sick buffalo stories, etc. No plot that I can recollect.
And it ain't in Bookazine, or in two Asia Books that I checked. Nor in Kinokonia in Emporium.
Anyone know the name of this book?
A girl was asking me if I knew where it was, and at the time, I thought I did.

it needs to be a CD-Rom so they can cut and paste it......
well maybe not, if they have to type it out there may be some great misspelling !

I'm pretty sure a friend of mine has this book. I'll find out the name and post later. He loaned it to me prior to my first trip to LOS.

I guess this kind of related, hope I'm not hijacking your thread. In No Name Internet (or something like that) there are two fat thai kids that translate love letters from thai to english for the BGs, to their farlang boyfriends abroad. The BGs would bring in their letters in thai long hand, and the kids would translate into english and send off the email. I asked if I could read a little as I was curious about the quality of the English and they didn't mind. Strangely, the thai to english translation was just like a BG would talk, in fractured abbreviated english. Only in Thailand.

Imagine.... Mark, the bond salesman in New York gets an interesting letter from Noi in NEP
Dear Mark
I miss you so much. Many is the day that I have longed for a beef injection from my beloved angel on Wall Street.
Please explain what Alan Greenspan is doing? What is up with that?
Also... please send me 50,000b. I have a sick 4 legged animal now unable to provide transportation for my family, and unable to work in the rice fields. I have communicated with my father via his PDA, and he text messaged me that the buffalo will require a 30 course of antibiotics.
I love you so much.
Noi
Not very authentic is it?!

That sounds like a computerized translation. You can find these on the web.

I think you are *totally* missing the (humorous) point waxhead was making.

I never did locate the book I'd seen before. However, SE-ED books on the 3rd floor of Siam Center did have the following:
Handbook of English Love Letters
ISBN: 974-91842-6-2
It fulfills the goal of the book that I was looking for - letters in english and thai. This one, however, is a bit over the top: excessively flowery language, wordy letters that couldn't possibly have come from a thai bar girl. At least it explains to the girl what it is that's being said. (the girl was wincing at how sweet some of the expressions were: "waan maak!")
Amazon.com does not list the ISBN, but Chulabooks.com does:
