Where on Phetskasem is the 114/23?

Funny one needs to ask every time.

BTW, does anybody know the system or method of HH street/city block numbering? Is there a map somewhere in the net explaining this apparent confusion?

Been there today for the second time this last week.
It is just before soi 78 ( or just a bit after)
At least a few minutes before soi 80. :-)

I bought a book for 160 baht and when I brought it back to day I recieved 70 baht back.
Bought today 2 other books.
Prices were 160 baht and 180 baht.
Not all the books looks really "fresh" but at least I've got a book to read.

Hey, Johanna - I've got loads of books you can borrow for 110 baht a time!

I think they have a good collection of books and the owner is quite nice.

I called in there yesterday, they've got a pretty good, well ordered selection - I didn't go in looking for anything specific though and only had a few minutes, but was able to exchange a few of my books and walk away with something new that I had been meaning to read for a while, and a credit note for the amount I didn't spend to keep for my next visit. The owner was quite jolly and very welcoming.

[BaaBaa.]

Recommend this place too.

Around 180b a book and half that back if you want to exchange.

Owners also a nice bloke.

are children books available in hua hin and whats the library like

[KateB]

I don't have kids and didn't even know there was a library in Hua Hin - so am probably not best qualified to help you, tood ling....but I did notice when I was in Asia Books in Market Village recently they had a children's section which looked quite good.....I'll leave the specifics to others though....
As for the Blue & Yellow bookshop - I didn't notice children's books in there but will check next time.
