“Books are a very serious problem in The Hilton. Our building chief, Buncom Conwichet, is a xenophobe. He has a real hatred for farang and all things relating to them, books and magazines in particular, knowing that these are our sole means of ‘legal entertainment’. Ever since he came to Building 2 (D2), he has steadily reduced the shelf space in our excuse for a library. Whereas once we had around 1,600 books, we’re now down to 50-100, and even that small supply is under constant attack. We now have to keep books in our very limited locker space if we want something to read. Nevertheless, please do send me books, I beg of you. Once I’ve finished with them, I’ll pass them onto other needy inmates or smuggle them out of the building to other parts of The Hilton.” _ Citylife received this letter and asks our readers to please donate whatever books they can. We will send a handful of copies each week in the hopes that they don’t all get confiscated to Bang Kwang Prison in Bangkok. Please either drop them off at our office, or if you have a box, call us up and we will try to come and collect them. For more information please email info@chiangmaicitylife.com or 053 225201.

“My name is Malee. I am a very pretty 1 to 2 year old female, with dark soulful eyes and milky coffee coloured fur. I may be little but I have lots of personality and love playing with my friends here at the shelter though I’d love someone to take me home with them. I’m great around kids and willingly roll over on my back to have my tummy tickled while wagging my lovely bushy tail. I am sterilised and have all my shots too. If you think you could
give me a loving, forever home then contact Care for Dogs, Emma (084 752 5255) or Thai language (086 913 8701) or e-mail: contact@carefordogs.org to make an appointment and meet me at the shelter. www.carefordogs.org”
