FREE Thai Food E-Books! No purchase required…

Sawasdee Ka!

I just finished writing a new page here at the blog… in the upper left hand side you can see it - “FREE Thai Food E-Books!”.

We decided to just give away both of our e-books for free since we’ll be able to have more people see them and enjoy them!

If you don’t know what an e-book is, it’s simply a Word file with photos and nice formatting converted into an Adobe PDF format that you can read on your computer, PDA, phone, or maybe even your watch. It makes the files easy to read on electronic readers too - you may have heard about Microsoft’s and Amazon’s new readers. They are e-book readers designed specially for reading e-books.

If you want to get both e-books here are the links below…
