Hi,

A report on my book quest so far,

In the above book the explanations are in Thai and not Paali,
according to Num, who is lending me his copy which is 'as thick as a
phone book', and which he is not using although he is taking some Pali
courses at Wat Mahathat currently, despite his very busy schedule. [He
leaves for somewhere upcountry tomorrow as well!] He has kindly
offered to find out more about the Wat Ta Ma Oh publications because
his teacher was also a student there, and only recently returned from
Lampang where he attended the Abbot's birthday celebrations.  The
Wat's Nyaasa was published in 1952, according to the last page in
Supaphan's bibliography to her own massive book.  I think there may be
some copies available in Bangkok, Num thinks he might be able to find
one, and also said it's probably in Burmese print, he's not sure if
the explanations are in Burmese, but he will find out more for us.     

I was unable to talk to my friend at Wat Bowon today, but according to
the list he sent me the grammar books are as you said, mainly with
Thai explanations.  I wonder what languages the courses you mentioned:

'Mahachulalongkornrajvidyalaya University may be another place to look
as I saw on their website that they offer the following course:
