Even in the so-called digital age, our love for physical books isn’t going anywhere. There’s still something magical about the scent of paper, the feel of flipping pages and the charm of a beautifully designed cover. That’s why book fairs continue to thrive in Bangkok and book lovers, literary thrill-seekers and bargain hunters are in for a treat. Big Bad Wolf is back and this year they’re bringing over two million titles to the city.
Running from August 7–17, the world’s biggest book sale returns to its original venue at Muang Thong Thani, after years of holding city-centre editions. Exhibition Hall 4 will be overflowing with page-turners of every kind.
Expect everything from children’s titles and illustrated pop-up books to binge-worthy teen fiction, timeless literary classics and must-read novels. For the niche reader, you’ll find gems in categories like science, history, wellbeing and travel.
Design lovers, take note: the sale also includes a curated selection of graphic design, architecture and visual art books such as rare finds on home styling, landscaping and interior design that might just inspire your next makeover.
If you’ve never been, this is the event where discounts go as high as 95 percent. So clear your shelves and get ready to restock. The fair is open daily from 10am to 10pm and admission is free. Join the wolf pack here.
