This medium spread across continents and travelled through time via the shelves of both new and second-hand bookstores\u2026<\/p>\n<p>It may be true though that Bangkok is not necessarily renowned for its bookshops, especially in a nation largely averse to the benefits of literary delights.<\/p>\n<p>And yet, once you start doing a bit of digging, it becomes apparent that not only is there a bunch of well-stocked, modern bookshops containing all the latest titles, often along with magazines and comics in a variety of languages, but there are also some pretty cool and quirky stores selling both new and used items.<\/p>\n<p>These can be tucked away inside huge malls, markets, or side streets, along with a few other unexpected spots.<\/p>\n<p>Any bookworm who has travelled to Bangkok outside of the last ten years or so knows that it used to be somewhat difficult, not to mention expensive, trying to locate and buy English language books in the city.<\/p>\n<p>Certainly bookstores were few and far between, but that seems not to be the case anymore. This is aside from the fact that the majority of Thais, by their own admission, are indeed averse to buying or reading books.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_76355\" style=\"width: 703px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/hot-picks-by-earthworm.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-76355\" class=\"size-full wp-image-76355\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/hot-picks-by-earthworm.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"693\" height=\"924\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/hot-picks-by-earthworm.jpg 693w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/hot-picks-by-earthworm-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 693px) 100vw, 693px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-76355\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image by earthworm from creativecommons.org<\/p><\/div>\n<p>But someone in Bangkok must be doing just that. These days if you\u2019re looking for English books along the lines of fiction, non-fiction, art, history, business, health, biographies, personal development, spirituality, religion or children\u2019s books \u2013 anything you want, in other words &#8212; there are at least a couple of major names with several branches in the city that can accommodate you.<\/p>\n<p>There has also been something of a rise of independent bookstores, especially ones specialising in sourcing rare and antique books. These are often mixed in with shelves full of contemporary titles.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>So whether you\u2019re an avid bookworm spending some time in Thailand or a traveller seeking a light read, Bangkok actually has its fair share of&nbsp;decent bookstores&nbsp;to choose from. In these shops you should be able to find anything from translated meditation manuals to literary classics and modern Thai politics.<\/p>\n<p>So let\u2019s take a closer look at some of the best bookshops in Bangkok.<\/p>\n<h4>Dasa Books<\/h4>\n<div id=\"attachment_76341\" style=\"width: 934px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/dasa-logo-by-insights-unspoken.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-76341\" class=\"size-full wp-image-76341\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/dasa-logo-by-insights-unspoken.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"924\" height=\"693\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/dasa-logo-by-insights-unspoken.jpg 924w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/dasa-logo-by-insights-unspoken-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/dasa-logo-by-insights-unspoken-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/dasa-logo-by-insights-unspoken-816x612.jpg 816w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 924px) 100vw, 924px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-76341\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image by insights unspoken from creativecommons.org<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The Dasa Book Caf\u00e9 holds a special place in many a reader\u2019s heart who has happened across the place.
