Sourcing Thai Publications
Trying in vain to find that special title on Southeast Asia?

Orchid Press is pleased to offer a ‘one stop’ source for any of the hundreds of specialized academic and art books currently available from our colleague publishers in Thailand. Please enquire about the titles that you are looking for, indicating any or all of the following : ISBN, author, title. Please also advise your shipping destination and preference (air/surface) and we will respond promptly with a quotation. [Enquire]


Private Publishing
Are you a poet in your spare moments?
Do you pen thrillers on those nights when sleep evades you?
Have you thought of publishing an album of your photographic achievements?


With the combination of low overheads and a state-of-the-art printing industry, Thailand is the perfect venue for high quality, low cost private book publishing. If you are interested in publishing some of your works privately, Orchid Press would be delighted to help…
    From ISBN registration to protect your work, through design and layout, paper sourcing, printing and binding, the staff at Orchid Press are experts in the complex process of turning manuscripts into professionally finished publications.
Write to us now with the details of your planned book, providing as much as possible about the specifications of the publication that you have in mind…word and / or page count, dimensions, the number of black and white or colour illustrations and binding preferences (soft- or hard bound). We will be happy to provide you with a competitive quotation. [Enquire]


Fine Bindings

Thailand has long been recognized as the source of some of the finest hand-craftsmanship in Asia. With low overhead costs, coupled with a long tradition of creativity and design excellence, labour intensive work such as fine bookbinding is a natural for the dexterous craftsmen of Thailand.
    Orchid Press is pleased to offer a hand bookbinding service to bibliophiles worldwide. No order is too large or too small—we will be happy to bind a single volume or your entire library…
    Bind the treasures of your library in the finest genuine calf leather, or traditional Thai raw silk cloth…all at a fraction of the cost of such craftsmanship in the West (typical savings are in the order of 50 to 65 percent).
    Trained in the exacting European traditions of hand bookbinding, our binders offer a wide variety of finishes, including marbled or other handmade end-papers, a silk ribbon bookmark, and gold stamped spines to your specifications.
    Fine hand-craftsmen, of course, cannot be rushed. Be prepared to wait several weeks as our binders painstakingly and lovingly rebind your volumes.
    Write to us now for a quotation, providing the dimensions of the book(s) you wish to bind, and material and style preferences.
