Greater Bangkok Telephone Directory
This is a must have Book for everyone who can't read Thai. You might have better luck striking a lottery than to get through dialing to the famous Telephone Directory Inquiry Services "13" which is run by Shinawatra Co.

The book is avaialable at Shinawatra Towers ( Yes, the same company ! ) located at Phaholyothin Road. ( Just adjacent to IBM Tower ). The book is free of charge but you must produce a recent telephone bill to prove that you have a telephone. The company also has a CD Rom version of the Directory which is not worth looking at.

The office is open from Monday to Friday, normal working hours. You could check with the customer service section at 261-5510 before going there.
