Save some room on your bookshelf as Book Expo Thailand 2024 returns to Bangkok on October 10-20.
To celebrate the build-up to Halloween, this year's theme is 'Read Until the Next Life'. On Oct 19, from midday to 2 pm, you can dress up as a ghost and enter the 'Ghosts from Books' costume contest for a chance to win a total of B45,000 in prizes.
With over 300 publishers expected, you can expect to find mountains of Thai nonfiction and fiction in every genre imaginable. For global bookworms, there will also be international stalls offering books in English, Chinese and many other languages. Grab some discounted books and hopefully finish them before the next year’s fair.
As well as books, you can queue up to have your favourite authors sign your books or listen to talks by writers and Thai thought leaders. The full line-up is not yet available, but stay tuned here.
