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.
