WOP: Publications about temples

Words of Praise: Publications about temples

Books, magazine and facebook group

I recently (Fri11oct2019) bought these two books at 24th Book Expo Thailand in Muang Thong Thani Impact Challenger Hall 2. https://www.bangkokpost.com/life/social-and-lifestyle/1762269/novel-ideas-at-book-expo-thailand 





ทำเนียบพระพุทธไสยาสน์ ในเขตกรุงเทพมหานคร
The book is in Thai language. My translation:
Reclining Buddha statues in Bangkok
About 30 cm x 22 cm, 193 pages. ISBN 978-616-283-158-4 
https://bookshop.finearts.go.th/book-detail/315/ทำเนียบพระพุทธไสยาสน์ในเขตกรุงเทพมหานคร

ทำเนียบพระพุทธไสยาสน์ ในเขตภาคตะวันออก
The book is in Thai language. My translation:
Reclining Buddha statues in Eastern Thailand
About 30 cm x 22 cm, 239 pages. ISBN 978-616-283-296-3

Beautiful pictures and very well presented, and at 250 and 260 THB a bargain!  

And in a Temple I visited, I found this magazine:
เที่ยววัด ทำบุญ เมษายน2562 my translation:
Visit temples to make merit April 2019
261 mm x 382 mm, 20 pages including front and back cover. 




All articles are in Thai and English, some even in Chinese. 
The contents is accessible for free online:

But I want them in print, I would even pay. 

Addendum 9feb2020: another magazine that I have one printed copy of, and available online here:

By chance, on facebook, I found this page ด่านซ้ายไทเลย
https://www.facebook.com/watch/Dansai.Magazine/
(all in Thai) which has videos about interesting temples, e.g.
วัดภูตะเภาทอง

วัดป่าภูทับเบิก จังหวัดเพชรบูรณ์
