The event will be held at the Singha Complex near the Phetchaburi MRT Station. Guests at the drinking and book buying event can expect cheap reads, conversation with writers, music, and arts and crafts at the Books and Beers 2023. A social media release from the event says there will be discounted books and new releases. 

 

The tagline for the event this year is the simple “Keep calm, read a book, and drink beer.” Last year, the annual event, held at the same location, was themed “No book I cry, no beer I die.”

 

Though specifics have not yet been released for the upcoming July festival, the 2022 version featured book stalls from more than 50 publishers.

 

The event will be held from Jul 21-Jul 30, beginning at 11am and finishing at 10pm each day. Email bookfestival.th@gmail.com or visit their Facebook page for more details. At the Singha Complex, you can be fairly sure what type of beer will be on offer, so go thirsty. Legally, we can't tell you beer tastes good, but reading is great.
