I think Ven. Dhammanando knows a lot about the state of Pali learning
and the Pali grammar situation in Thailand. In recent years a number
of new publications of rare Pali grammatical texts (mostly with a Thai
gloss) have appeared. Buddhaghosa College has a wide selection for
sale and Dhammanando made a list for me from their webpage. Wat Tha
Ma O, Lampang also has a good reputation for the study of traditional
Pali grammar.

Best wishes,
Jim
