Discover a Bangkok City Library

In the heart of Thailand’s bustling capital lies a peaceful retreat for book lovers and knowledge seekers — the Bangkok City Library. Located on Ratchadamnoen Road in the historic Phra Nakhon district, this public library offers not just books but a unique space for learning, inspiration, and relaxation.

The library spans three storeys and over 4,000 square metres of reading and activity space. It is designed in a modern-classic style that blends with the charm of old-town Bangkok.
