Moreover, the fair hosts the “Bangkok Rights Fair,” which serves as a platform for copyright trading between Thai agencies and international agencies, operating under the Business to Business (B2B) framework.
Although it’s a book fair, it offers more than just book booths. The event offers three zones: Book Zone, Activity Zone, and Exhibition Zone.
You can explore seven categories of books at the Book Zone, ranging from literature and comics to foreign books. Then, participate in over 100 activities held in the Activity Zone. The highlight of this zone is the Bookolympics competition that searches for five talents covering designer, writer, proofreader, top seller, and best reader.
