PA to Khun Mechai! Wow! One of my heroes. I once visited his place at Nang Rong to meet Wilas Decho (spelling?) and was most impressed.
Thanks for posting Dasa's list. I was glad to see my novel, "Thai Girl" doing well against the big guns like Burdett.
Choke dee khrap.

Andrew,
Likewise, I'm glad to hear that your book is doing well. Is it available as an eBook by chance?
