A new edition of the Anaagatava.msa came out a couple of years
ago in BKK. I have a copy if you need any information from it.
You can purchase one at Sun Nangsue Chula as well. This has
been a very significant text, esp. for the Chakri dynasty and
there have been several Thai editions. Also, there is a copy
of the Dasabodhisattuppattikathaa in the old faculty of arts
library at Chula on the second floor. This is the PTS one, I
do not think there was ever a Thai edition or translation.
However, Bhumipala Press from Wat Sraket may have produced one
(but I doubt it and they are done producing editions of
anything it seems now).
Best,
jm
