Bit of a bookworm, are you? Look no further than these independent, free-spirited, and well-stocked bookstores in Bangkok:
Hardcover
Lofty mezzanine perched atop Central Embassy shelving an impressive selection of titles with a design bent, covering photography, children’s books, cookbooks, and fiction, plus rare out-of-print, collector’s and limited editions. A good spot for eyeballing fellow bookworms.
A BOOK with NO NAME
Feline-friendly independent bookstore with plenty of books to suit your fancy, including places to chill and hang out. Don’t miss the signature Espresso Nutella for a sweet hit of caffeine.
Kinokuniya
There’s a brilliant range of coffee table, art and design books at this Japanese biblio emporium, which stocks the largest collection of English language tomes in town, as well as a stupendous stack of mags.
