Sara Barn Books

Bangkok is a good place to stock up on used paperbacks for traveling around Asia, and especially in this part of Khao San Road, all of the latest bestsellers and popular reads are always being swapped and sold, so the selection is pretty good. Sara Barn Books, also known as Book Lovers, is easily found opposite Shewa Spa at the top of Susie Alley up from Khao San near the Rambutri Road exit, seems to have a better selection than most, and they don't pester you over browsing or taking your time to peruse a bit like most of the other shops. You can return books bought here for 50% of what you paid, receive credit or some cash for items you have to sell, and the book stock is at least somewhat categorized by subject or author, giving you a chance of finding what you are looking for.
