Chiang Mai’s first book fair launches at the end of next month, thanks to the Publisher and Bookseller Association of Thailand (PUBAT).

Carrying on Bangkok Book Fair’s “Hope” theme, the Chiang Mai Book Fair #1 will squeeze 200 publishers into CentralPlaza Chiang Mai Airport (Mahidol Rd., 053-999-199) from Jun 25-Jul 3 for a week of shopping and talks.

We don’t have the names of any of the guest authors yet, but watch their FB page at goo.gl/6VyBX5 to stay updated.
