A pretty public library within Lumpini Park, this structure is a thriving learning hub that combines the pleasures of reading with the peaceful enjoyment of nature. Despite its small size, Bangkok Public Library holds more than 40,000 books and educational materials, a large majority in Thai. A smaller children’s library has been set up adjacent to the main building (just look for a squat rectangular structure that looks like a Yayoi Kusama creation.)

Entry is free.
