Heading to Bangkok Design Week 2026 around Phra Nakhon, consider slipping a book into your bag. Rommaninat Park hosts Reading in the District, a modest pop-up library tucked beneath a generous tree. It links independent bookshops with the city’s green pause, turning shade and grass into a temporary reading room. Shelves hold a thoughtful mix of titles, while bean bags, mats and low seating circle the trunk like an informal club no one has to join properly. You can read for an hour, skim a few pages or simply sit and watch the afternoon stretch out. The appeal sits in its lack of urgency. No programme to follow, no checklist to complete. Just paper, quiet conversation and the feeling of borrowing time from the city. It is the kind of place you stumble across, then stay longer than planned.
Until February 8. Free. Rommaninat Park, 11am-10pm
