The field notes

About

The 31st national Book Expo fills Queen Sirikit National Convention Center with Thai publishers, bookstores, new releases and literary programming for ten days. Much of the stock is Thai-language, but the scale and central MRT access make it worthwhile for book and design enthusiasts.

Highlights

  • Ten days of Thai publishing, books, stationery and author events
  • A huge indoor programme with direct MRT access
  • A useful window into contemporary Thai reading and illustration

Plan it well

  1. Expect Thai-language stock to dominate; international and art-book sections vary by edition.
  2. Visit on a weekday morning for easier browsing.
  3. Use MRT Queen Sirikit National Convention Centre and avoid event-day parking.
