My Favorite Bookstores, Part I: The Booksmith

Cozy bookstore in Chiang Mai has cafe and nice art and travel books.

I write a lot of femdom romances based in Thailand. It’s my home base right now. I read a lot of romances, novels, and books about all kinds of topics. So I would like to share some of my favorite bookstores in Thailand and other places I visit.

My Pen, Her Whip is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.

Let’s start with the Booksmith in Chiang Mai. I enjoy visiting the Booksmith because it has a nice selection of all kinds of books even in a relatively small two-room complex. It has novels and how-to books, thick magazines and photo books, histories and travelogues. You name it.

I like to sit in the cafe and write and read a book for inspiration as I drink my Americano.

There are locations in Bangkok and Chiang Mai. The one I am including photos of is located at 1/1-1/5 Nimmanhaemin Rd in CNX.

The Booksmith’s website says:

Since 2012, Our stores were created in a way a novel would. We built our book collections like chapters, and create an atmosphere where readers come in and receive a feeling like they are in a very special, magical place...a place where digital is completely irrelevant. We want The Booksmith to be their second home.
