Asia Society Book Club Bangkok meets monthly to discuss books with Asian themes in an informal setting.

The Asia Society Book Club Bangkok is an informal gathering dedicated to exploring literature with an Asian perspective. Members meet regularly to discuss a single Asian book or a title featuring a significant Asian angle, fostering conversation through shared reading experiences. The upcoming meeting will focus on "Bangkok Wakes to Rain" by Pitchaya Sudbanthad, a debut novel described by The Guardian as an exuberant and meticulously plotted story. This swirling, multi-generational tale shifts between historical and futuristic settings, exploring the intersecting lives of several generations—both human and animal—connected to a single house in Thailand's fever dream of a capital city, as highlighted by The New York Times. This event is exclusively for Asia Society members. If you are interested in joining the club, please inquire about membership details directly. No formal registration is required for attending the current meeting. However, if you have not been provided with specific meeting location details, you should contact the organization at the provided email address to obtain further information. The club also welcomes suggestions for future book selections; members are encouraged to share any interesting reading recommendations they have so they can be considered for upcoming gatherings.
