SLIM PICKINGS IN SINGAPORE

Within two hours of touching down in Singapore yesterday morning I was inside one of my favourite bookshops - Borders. (A trip to the larger Kinokuniya here awaits this evening).
Looking at magazines - naturally the first thing I do - I became aware there a far, far fewer Thailand-based publications on sale here. Last time I saw at least half dozen but yesterday it was difficult to see even one.
Distribution costs are likely one factor behind this, however you can be sure the publishers have neglected to tell their advertisers of any changes in distribution patterns.

Kinokuniya at Ngee Ann City is my favorite in Singapore. Too bad Thai discount card is not accepted there. ;)

There's a Page One at Vivocity, Harbourfront as well as Harris (a new player) at 313@Somerset, where you can check it out. But I think Borders by far, has the largest magazine selection.

Have a good trip in Singapore!

Cheers!
