The floating bookshop Doulos Hope is back at Khlong Toei! The ship has more than two thousand books. This means you’ll find everything from cookbooks to kids’ titles, all tucked inside a space that gently rocks on the water while you browse. It’s run by a German non-profit that travels the world sharing stories rather than pushing an agenda, which gives the whole visit a relaxed, welcoming feel. Entry is only twenty baht, cash at the door, and you can shop with cash or card once you’re on board.

Cross Culture Weekend: Taiwan at The House on Sathorn
Date & Time: Saturday, November 15 and Sunday, November 16

Cross Culture Weekend turns the spotlight to Taiwan this time.

After dinner, Bar Sathorn shifts into full cocktail mode. Guest bartenders from top Taiwanese bars will be shaking up drinks made just for the weekend. You’ll also find work by artist Sunny Hu Chih-Hsin throughout the space, with projections and recycled-frame pieces.
Whatever you end up choosing, there is plenty this weekend to keep you curious and well fed.
