    Hi! I just came across this review now in my search for a Songkran book to use in a lesson plan here in the United States in a few weeks. If you are still in Thailand, would you happen to know of a site over there where I may inquire about purchasing this book either stateside, or by internet or Air Mail?
    Thank you!
