Just wanted to let readers know that the Book Expo will be at Queen Sirikit Convention Center here in Bangkok from the 15th until the 26th of October..

It's always a worthwhile thing to do/see.

Here's the link to the sponsors site;

Be warned, on the weekends it is jammed packed with people!! :)

If you're going, one thing that is not to be missed is the presentation stage.

Just from living in Thailand, you will know many of the authors เพราะเขามักจะเป็นพวกดารา นักข่าว พิธีกร วิทยากร หรือคนเด่นคนดังในวงการอุตสาห์กรรมของเขา...หรือ...สังคมไทยนี่เอง. หรืออาจจะเป็นนักเขียนที่เรายังไม่เคยได้พบเจอเลย. There is the stage, and of course the ubiquitous "disposable cardboard seats" (อย่าทิ้งตัวลงหน้กนะ...มันเปราะ) เรียงรายเป็นแถวๆ.

It's a great opportunity to listen to the authors speak about their works (almost entirely in Thai), and after the presentation is over, เขาก็ยินดีที่จะทักทายคลุกคลีตีโมงสักพัก...กับแฟนๆที่มารับฟัง... Bring a few baht - ถือซะว่า จะถูกจารีตประเณีเนี่ย...ที่จะ "แสดงกำลังทรัทธา" เสียหน่อยนะ...and purchase a copy of their book / have them sign it if you're going to engage them in conversation.

จะได้แต้มเพิ่ม ถ้าจะอ่านหนังสือของเขา (นักเขียนที่คุณเลือกเอา) ก่อนจะมาชมการประไศรกันของเขา...

As stated in previous post - if you don't like huge crowds - go on a weekday morning. I see a lot of Thai youngsters there with actual carry-on bags on rollers เต็มเปี่ยมเลยจนกระเป๋ามันเป็นตุมๆ กับหนังสือที่เขายัดใส่...จนตะเข็บแทบจะปรินี่นา...so If you're going to buy a lot of books, bring a suitcase on rollers. Have fun!

One new book on show, according to Khao Sot, is the Thai translation of 'I Am Malala', the Pakistani girl who has become very well-known after her experiences at the hands of the Taliban.

I went to the Book Expo on Friday thinking I'd sneak in with no one there. :)

Unfortunately I forgot the school term is closed now and it was packed to the rafters with people.. :shock:

It's worth going, but it's packed with people! :lol:
