BOOK appears to be the name given to a small independent bookstore selling used books in Bangkok. This bookstore is located in a small sub-soi near to the entrance of Sukhumvit Soi 24, less than two minutes' walk from BTS Phrom Phong and the Emporium Shopping Complex. It is also surrounded by massage shops and restaurants catering mostly to Japanese and Korean businessmen and their families living in the vicinity.

Angel Tomorrow imports used books for sale in its small warehouse located on Sukhumvit 105 (Soi Lasalle). It is run as a part-time business by a husband and wife team who previously owned a second-hand bookstore at the Seri Center, near Seacon Square. Books are imported from the US several pallets at a time and then unpacked and sorted in the warehouse.

Skoob! is a small bookstore and cafe that sells new and used books in the Thonglor area of Bangkok. It gets its unusual name from the word BOOKS written backwards. The store sells English and Japanese titles.

Sun Books is a used bookstore that buys and sells Japanese books and magazines. The bookstore is located next to Phrom Phong BTS station, opposite the Emporium Shopping Center.

Benjasiri Park (Thai: อุทยานเบญจสิริ) sometimes written as Benchasiri Park, is a public park located between Sukhumvit Soi 22 and 24, next to the Emporium Shopping Complex.

Benjakiti Park (Thai: สวนเบญจกิติ) is a public park in Bangkok, Thailand. A former factory site of the Thailand Tobacco Monopoly, the park first opened in 2004. It has an area of approximately 130 Rai (1 Rai = 1,600 sq. m.) or 20.8 hectares and is dominated by a central lake around which a footpath and separate cycle path follow. Surrounding gardens are landscaped and maintained to a high standard, and this could rightly be described as a very attractive park.

Dasa Book Cafe (Thai: ร้านหนังสือดาสะ) pronounced "daa-sa" with a hard "sa" as in "sack", is an independent bookstore and café selling secondhand books. It has more than 13,000 used books in English and other languages, and claims to be Bangkok's best-stocked secondhand bookstore.

Chuvit Garden (Thai: สวนชูวิย์) is also commonly referred to as Chuvit Park (alternate spelling: Chuwit Park) and was created in 2006. It is privately owned by Chuwit Kamolvisit (Thai: ชูวิทย์ กมลวิศิษฎ์) a controversial Thai politician and massage parlour owner.

The entrance gate pillars carry the following rather unexpected inscription:
