Reading habits in Thailand

Novels, either in English or in French... well, I do not look the TV very often!  And, when in need, as I live in Bangkok, I am paying a visit to the Dasa Book Cafe...
No budget, it is "when I feel it, as I feel it"!

I have been reading a lot my whole life at least a hundred books a year  and I have been reading much more since I retired .I started reading when I was 9 years old due to no tv no good radio reception and hardly any movies
Either played outside or read newspapers and books at my parents insistence
My mother was a teacher and taught English at an Afrikaans school in South Africa though we were Afrikaans speaking at home
I can read English, Afrikaans and Dutch as well as a little German and Zulu
I had hundreds of books in SA and used to swop books at  the secondhand bookstores but had many coffee table books etc.
I bought a Kindle in 2010 and started reading books on it
Used to buy about two or three a month on Amazon
Then I moved to Thailand and where I live there are no bookshops selling English book and I have found some at a language school close to me which I swop every once in a while.
When I go to sa I always return with several books as I have 45 Kg allowance and I do not use it
The sad part is nobody reads them when I am finished with them as the Thais do not read let alone English
I now unfortunately now  have to read on my Kindle fulltime
I buy books and Kindle has many thousands of books for free
In the nearly six years here I have read 1157 books on my Kindle and it seems I need to buy a new one as this one battery is going for a loop
I also receive my daily Newspapers from home and the UK as well as the Bangkok Post etc

A tip for keen book readers living in Bangkok.  A great place to buy second hand books is a shop called Dasada that is a short walking distance from Emporium Shopping Center heading towards Thonglor.  Its loacated on the same side of Sukhumvit as Emporium.  They have a big selection at great prices with very helpful staff.

When i first move here back in 2011 i read some books.

On my first trip to Khaosan Road, I found a book shop with second hand books, That when i return with books, The shop give some money for them IF buy others books.
That shop have book in many languages, And i think i found around 20-30 in Danish.
And i all so pick books in English.

A bit later i found incredibly big second hands book shop in China Town.
And he was able to get any book i ask for, A few days to a week later he call to say, Book here..

Around 3-4 years ago a Danish friend back home give me around 10-13 sound books, And i enjoy listen to them when relaxing around the house.

Kindly.
