Opening dates and times
Open from 10.00 a.m. until 9.00 p.m. every day from March 27 until April 6 (inclusive). The crowds get particularly busy at weekends and peak times, so if you want a relaxing visit it may be best to visit in the morning. Discounts are available all day, and if you are a keen photographer it may be worthwhile taking a camera to photograph the "pretties" and promotion girls.

Here are links for White
Here are links for White Lotus Books and Silkworm Books.
It might be worth noting that Rim Khob Fa Bookstore on Ratchadamnoen Klang Avenue also stocks a good range of books by White Lotus Press and is well worth visiting if you are in the local area. We were there last week, and we plan to add an article to Bangkok Library very soon.

English books
Maybe worth to mention that even though the majority of the exhibitors and thus of the books on sale are in Thai language, those few English exhibitors are definitely worth a visit. Last year I bought several books at the booth of White Lotus and Silkworm Books, including some I have never seen in the bookstores before, and also at great discounts. Only my budget and the weight limit in plane stopped me from buying even more. Too bad this year I will won't be able to go there.
