Bangkok’s literary scene is tuning up again, this year under the playful theme ‘Melody of Books’ with the question: ‘Have you read? Have you listened?’ The fair stretches across aisles packed with titles from every imaginable genre, a mix of publishers old and new, while corners hum with workshops, talks and interactive sessions. It’s less a market and more a symphony, where pages turn like notes and voices carry stories beyond the spine. Visitors wander between author meet-and-greets, live readings and unexpected performances, discovering that books aren’t just for reading but for experiencing, hearing and feeling. By the time you leave, your bag is heavier, your mind noisier and your appreciation for narrative a little more… orchestral.
