Paiboon Publishing & Word in the Hand…
As I mentioned in the previous post, Please Vote THAI and WIN! 2015: Top 100 Language Lovers Competition, for seven weeks (a week for each year WLT has been online) there will be giveaways by top movers and shakers in the learning Thai industry.
And what better way to kick it off than with three of my favourite Thai apps from Paiboon Publishing and Word in the Hand: The Talking Thai-Eng-Thai Dictionary, the Thai for Beginners course, and the Talking Thai-Eng-Thai Phrasebook (soon to be rolled into the dictionary).
Over the years, Benjawan Poomsan Becker (Paiboon Publishing) and Chris Pirazzi (Word in the Hand) have been incredibly generous to readers of WLT, gifting handfuls of apps whenever they’ve come out with a totally new app, or when they’ve updated an app. Thanks you two!
For WLT’s Thai Language Giveaway they are sponsoring FOUR EACH of the apps. Details below.

Rules for WLTs Thai Language Giveaway…
As with previous draws, I’ve kept the rules as simple as possible.
- To be included in the draw, leave comments below.
- Comment(s) need to add to the conversation (it really does matter).
- Each relevant comment gets counted, so please do leave as many as you like!
- If you don’t collect your prize within a week of the announcement, it will be given away to the next person in line.
I will not be responsible for choosing the winners so even if we are the best of buddies, don’t be shy, you too can win. Actually, you can win every week as there is no limit to how many prizes you can walk away with.
Important: If you already own any of the apps, please let us know in the comments so we can adjust the prizes.
The draw will run from this moment until the 3rd of June, 6am Thai time. As soon as I get word from Chris and Benjawan, I’ll announce the winners in the comments below.
Good luck everyone. And my thanks again to Chris and Benjawan for sponsoring these wonderful prizes!
Oh, and before I forget … if you haven’t voted in the Language Lovers Competition, please do. Cheers!
