Thailand might not be at the top of every bookish traveler\u2019s must-visit list, thanks in no small part to its reputation as the destination of choice for backpackers looking for beaches and booze buckets.<\/span><\/p>\n

But while Thailand certainly has a wild side, it\u2019s also a heck of a cool destination for those who love nothing better to curl up with a good book – it\u2019s not hard to ditch the Full Moon Party crowds, find a quiet corner of a stunning beach, and work your way through a stack of books as you work on your tan. <\/span><\/p>\n

Thailand is, in fact, a nation of readers – and as such it was UNESCO\u2019s World Book Capital 2013 – a title given in honor of the country\u2019s dedication to promoting reading across all ages and sectors of society. In Thailand\u2019s towns and cities, you\u2019re never more than a few feet away from a bookstore or a newsstand selling paperbacks and graphic novels, and popular ex-pat destinations such as Chiang Mai are famous for their abundance of second hand bookstores, well stocked with English-language titles. \u00a0Not only that, but the country is home to a surprising number of spectacular libraries, book-themed bars, cafes, and even a super-chic library themed boutique hotel. <\/span><\/p>\n

Whether you\u2019re coming for time alone on a beach with a good book or looking to keep the kids quiet, Thailand won\u2019t let you down on the book front. Read on for our pick of the best Thailand experiences for bookworms<\/span><\/p>\n

Stay in a library-themed boutique hotel on Koh Samui<\/b><\/h4>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

With a subtle literary theme to its design and over 1400 books for guests to flip through in its large library complex, <\/span>The Library<\/span><\/a> is a beach-facing boutique hotel famous for its blood-red pool and its Instagram appeal. While its certainly not one for the budget traveler (rooms from around $280 per night), bookish types with cash to splash will lap up a night or two at this spot overlooking Chaweng Beach, which has a casual-chic bar and restaurant on site, meaning those lost in a good book might not want to leave the premises for the entire stay.<\/span><\/p>\n

Visit Bangkok\u2019s loveliest library<\/b><\/h4>\n

There\u2019s a sweet Thai short film called <\/span>The Library<\/span><\/a>, and most of it is filmed on location in the very photogenic Nielsen Hays Library, off <\/span>Surawongse Road. Opened in 1869 by a group of resourceful British and North American Women as the Bangkok Ladies Library Association, the library was the first non-profit organization in the country, and its backstory that could easily be made into a novel in itself, and today is an excellent place to bring kids, thanks to a cute childrens\u2019 corner and a regular program of Saturday morning reading activities as well as book festivals and craft events developed with young readers in mind – check out the programme <\/span>here.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

Get Lost in Book Browsing in Chiang Mai<\/b><\/h4>\n

Rumour has it that Chiang Mai has more bookstores than bars, and whether that\u2019s true or not, there\u2019s certainly enough second hand book shops here to keep even the most ardent of readers happy. A large number of English-speakers settling in this scenic, chilled part of northern Thailand. A lot of fun can be had planning a bookstore-hopping tour of the city, but if you visit just one, you might want to make it <\/span>Suriwiong Book Centre<\/span><\/a> – the oldest and largest bookstore in town, with a good selection of kids\u2019 books and plenty of English titles.<\/span><\/p>\n

Get a Boozy Book Fix<\/b><\/h4>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Booze and books under one roof, seriously, what\u2019s not to love about that? There are several places to browse for books then curl up with a cocktail and read your latest purchase, and not surprisingly most of them are in the capital. Although the famous Wonderland-esque <\/span>Bookshop Bar<\/span><\/a> is now sadly closed, there are several other good spots in town, with cool kids making a beeline for the so-hip-it-hurts <\/span>Jam Factory<\/span><\/a>, a \u00a0converted warehouse complex with bars, restaurants, shops and <\/span>Candide Books & Cafe <\/span><\/a>– you can get a caffeine fix in the bookstore itself, then sip a cocktail nearby with your new read. \u00a0<\/span>Dasa Book Cafe<\/span><\/a> is another popular cool kid hangout, and no bookish trip to Bangkok is complete without a visit to <\/span>Zombie Books<\/span><\/a>, an uber-hip spot where a sharply-dressed indie crowd comes to leaf through books by day (again, there\u2019s a good children\u2019s section) and dance to live music and DJs by night.<\/span><\/p>\n

Find Interesting Indie Bookstores Across the Country<\/b><\/h4>\n

It\u2019s not just the Thai capital that\u2019s dramatically upped its game \u00a0in the kooky-chic bookstore stakes. Interesting independent bookshops are cropping up the length and breadth of Thailand – ranging from colorful, kid-focused spots to contemporary nocturnal hangouts. Back in Bangkok, <\/span>BookMoby Readers\u2019 Cafe<\/span><\/a>, located on the fourth floor of Bangkok Arts and Culture Center, has ambitions as big as the city\u2019s skyscrapers – it has its own in-house publishing company, hosts international literary festivals, and also holds regular heavyweight literary events. Elsewhere, there\u2019s books, ceramics and jugs oftra at <\/span>Tai Talad<\/span><\/a> in Chonmuri, Eastern Thailand, and perfectly-roasted coffee beans, cinema screenings and artists\u2019 markets alongside the books at <\/span>Bookhemian<\/span><\/a>, in the famous beach destination of Phuket<\/strong><\/a>, to name just a couple.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
