About this event
Ten days of books filling three halls of the Queen Sirikit centre, zoned by what people actually read: fiction, BL and yaoi, comics, children's books, second-hand stacks and foreign-language titles. This year's theme, 'Unread Messages', is a joke at the expense of everyone's to-read pile. The last national fair drew over 1.5 million visitors, so go early and bring a tote.
Why we picked it
Free entry to one of Southeast Asia's largest book fairs, running ten days straight in central Bangkok.
Free entry
