Embrace silence by reading in libraries (4/30)

There’s nothing more euphoric for a bibliophile than getting engrossed in a book surrounded by the sound of silence at a library. Bangkok is luckily blessed with a number of new libraries with an impressive collection of both Thai and foreign-language tomes. For art and designfocused books, head to TCDC Resource Center in Charoenkrung (don’t forget to check out the cutting-edge exhibitions). For reading tables with magnificent views, head to the Bank of Thailand Learning Center Library, which has more than 30,000 books and access to more than 7,000 digital archives from libraries around the world.
