This midyear, anyone seeking a peaceful space to recharge and inspire themselves can mark their calendars. The Bank of Thailand Learning Center opens its space to book lovers and lifestyle enthusiasts with an exclusive event named the BOTLC Book Fair 2026. The highlight of this event is the opportunity to browse and purchase your favorite books in a relaxed atmosphere. Best of all, once you find a book you like, you don’t have to rush home carrying it. The organizers have prepared a cozy riverside seating area where you can unwrap your new book and read while soaking in panoramic views of the Chao Phraya River — a truly artistic way to recharge yourself.
For museum enthusiasts, the event venue also houses the Currency Museum, where visitors can explore historical exhibits and take stylish photos in a cool, air-conditioned setting. It’s a perfect day trip combining new knowledge from books with tranquil riverside relaxation all in one place. This event will be held from 10 to 12 July 2026 at the rotating exhibition plaza on the first floor of the Bank of Thailand Learning Center.
