What we’re about
Welcome to Bangkok Book Club!
🐛📚 We are a friendly group of bookworms who gather once a month to chat about what we've been reading lately. At Bangkok Book Club we have a relaxed vibe; there's no "assigned read".
Come are you are and share your thoughts on whatever read you're currently enjoying. We welcome all genres, both fiction and non-fiction alike.
This is the perfect place to connect with fellow book lovers, discover new titles and even swap books.
What events can you expect?
- ☕️💬 Monthly Meetups: Every month, we meet on the long tables at IKEA Sukumvit café on a Saturday at 10:30 AM for coffee and bookish chats.
- 🥞🖼️ Beyond the Books: We also host smaller, more intimate events throughout the month, like gallery visits, group brunches, book sale trips and more!
Ready to join the fun?
🏳️🌈🌍 We welcome readers of all genres and reading levels. We are proud to celebrate diversity and welcome all readers.

Welcome to our second "Coffee to Cover", a brand new series of events by Bangkok Book Club. Join us at Treehouse Café on Saturday 3rd May for gathering where we will be discussing 'The Vegetarian' by Han Kang, accompanied by good food and coffee.
This is a safe space to express your thoughts and interpretations, all while forging connections with fellow bookworms. Whether you're a seasoned literary critic or a casual reader, your voice matters here.
Our discussions will be led by John and Harriet and will take place in smaller, intimate groups, which will create a welcoming environment for all of our guests. Due to this, we will be limiting the sign-ups to 15 people.
Taken from Goodreads, here's the description of The Vegetarian
Before the nightmares began, Yeong-hye and her husband lived an ordinary, controlled life. But the dreams—invasive images of blood and brutality—torture her, driving Yeong-hye to purge her mind and renounce eating meat altogether. It’s a small act of independence, but it interrupts her marriage and sets into motion an increasingly grotesque chain of events at home. As her husband, her brother-in-law and sister each fight to reassert their control, Yeong-hye obsessively defends the choice that’s become sacred to her. Soon their attempts turn desperate, subjecting first her mind, and then her body, to ever more intrusive and perverse violations, sending Yeong-hye spiraling into a dangerous, bizarre estrangement, not only from those closest to her, but also from herself.
Celebrated by critics around the world, The Vegetarian is a darkly allegorical, Kafka-esque tale of power, obsession, and one woman’s struggle to break free from the violence both without and within her.
