AsiaRooms.com - Celebrate reading at Bangkok International Book Fair

March 01, 2012 (PRLEAP.COM) Travel News
The Bangkok International Book Fair will be taking place once again from March 29th to April 8th 2012 at the Queen Sirikit National Convention Center.

Known as a thriving hub for the south-east Asian book market, the event attracted 1.6 million attendees in 2011, browsing products from 412 exhibitors hailing from 18 countries.

The purpose of the show is to convey the concept of books being the "gateway to the world", whether fictional realms of fantasy or the real world of facts and information.

Entry to the event is free of charge, allowing guests to turn up and peruse a huge selection of books, from novels and comics to reference guides and study materials.

In addition to the standard stalls, the event will play host to a number of talks, with last year's festival including 65 forums and seminars, as well as 88 staged activities.

Those who are interested in attending will find the venue on New Rachadapisek Road in central Bangkok, located within easy reach of BTS skytrain, MRT subway, taxi, bus and car routes.

Lovers of literature can browse a full selection of Bangkok hotels at AsiaRooms.com, including the Twin Towers Hotel.
