Official Event Page

Book Expo Thailand, the 31st National Book Fair, runs for ten days from Friday, October 23 to Sunday, November 1, 2026 at the Queen Sirikit National Convention Center (QSNCC) in Khlong Toei. It fills Exhibition Halls 5 to 7 on the LG level and is open every day from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m.

This is the autumn edition of Thailand's two big national book fairs, with Thai publishers, bookshops and distributors selling new titles, backlists, comics and manga, children's books, second-hand books and foreign-language editions. This year's theme is "Unread Messages", built around the idea of a new message waiting for you in the form of your next book.

Dates and hours

• Friday, October 23 to Sunday, November 1, 2026: daily, 10 a.m. to 9 p.m.
• Where: Exhibition Halls 5-7, Level LG

Good to know

Most titles on sale are in Thai, so visitors who do not read Thai will get the most from the comics, picture books, art books and foreign-language stalls. Bring a tote bag if you plan to buy in bulk, since you will be carrying purchases between three halls. The venue page does not state an admission charge.

Getting there

QSNCC sits on Ratchadaphisek Road beside Benjakitti Park, with its own MRT Blue Line station, Queen Sirikit National Convention Centre. The same week, the gamescom asia x Thailand Game Show opens on the Level G halls from October 29.
