Thai Hawker Food

Thailand is a paradise for hawker food and this book gives a complete easy-to-know and easy-to-find list of nearly all available dishes one is likely to encounter. Each item is described and illustrated in detail.

Thai for Beginners

Designed for either self-study or classroom use. Teaches all four language skills speaking, listening (when used in conjunction with the cassette tapes), reading and writing.

Thai Handwriting Book

Gor Gai is an ideal book for people who want to practice writing Thai. Unlike other books, this has every letter, number and vowel. In our opinion, it is the best one available.

Dictionaries

A large collection of English-Thai and Thai-English dictionaries.


At Thai Hypermarket you will find a lot of resource material for people learning Thai. There are not only language books and dictionaries but also childrens' books written in both Thai and English. Some come with cassette tapes.

Eating Thai food is one of the highlights of any trip to Thailand. The food is simply delicious (aroy). Although many people prefer to eat inside restaurants with bilingual menus, they are missing out on the charm of the roadside noodle shops. At these places you won't find an English menu but you will certainly get value for money. The following list of food comes from the wonderful Thai Hawker Food book which we often refer to.
