Big Bad Wolf and International Book Sale Rejoin Forces in Bangkok.

This mega book sale returns as a thing to do in Bangkok with kids, bringing huge discounts and massive book collections.

Big Bad Wolf Books first landed in Bangkok in 2016 as a thing to do in Bangkok with kids and the debut was a major success. Over the years, the event has taken place across Thailand as a limited-time mega sale. This year, it teams up with International Book Sale, featuring a massive selection and discounts up to 90% across two locations, including Seacon Bangkae and Seacon Square Srinakarin.

With over 300,000 picks to explore, it’s a full-on fill-your-tote-bag kind of day out, with everything from picture books and learning reads for little ones to English titles, novels and inspiring finds for teens and parents.

What is International Book Sale Featuring Big Bad Wolf Books?

This thing to do in Bangkok with kids is a collaboration between International Book Sale, known for large-scale book events in Thailand and Big Bad Wolf Books, the global book sale brand famous for massive selections and big discounts. The event typically pops up around Thailand as a limited-time mega sale in shopping malls and convention centres. It has returned to Bangkok many times over the years, drawing crowds of readers each time. 

Together, they create a book sale that’s even bigger, feels like a reading playground, with rows of tables, stacks of every genre.
