I understand from goggle.com that there was a series of 12 Manee Books that the Thai School System used up until 1978. These books were the main reading material used by the school system.  Does anyone have a set of these books or know where they may be purchased? Thanks, Irish

This website seems to have lessons based on the Manee books. http://www.learningthai.com/books/manee/index.html

Those lessons were very useful to me when I first started studying Thai on my own, about 6 years ago. I'm happy to see that they are still up.

A big thanks to all of you.  I don't know which of the links provided, but I came upon a page where I could download and or save all 12 books, but it was in Thai. Since I didn't want to screw up the downloads I ask my wife to take care of it for me. I can screw up any computer operation in English - I don't need to try it in Thai.  Anyway we have all 12 books downloaded to the computer and my wife is working on printing them out. I ask her how much of a newspaper would I be able to read after studying these books. She said all of it. Sounds good to me. At present I struggle to read a small amount of Thai. Thanks again, Irish

Google has dedicated a Doodle to "Mana Manee" author Ratchanee Sripaiwan, who would have been 86 today (according to Wikipedia, while Google says 85): http://www.google.com/doodles/ratchanee-sripaiwans-85th-birthday

Google corrected their mistake and here is the new link: http://www.google.com/doodles/ratchanee-sripaiwans-86th-birthday
