Travel today is no longer just about food, fun, and entertainment—it also values deeper experiences like culture and design. Of course, it’s even better when you can have both. Surprisingly,BangkokOpen House, a hybrid bookstore, actually offers this experience.

Combining a bookstore, food, art, and entertainment, Open House is locatedin Bangkokon the top floor of the Central Embassy mall. The bookstore follows the mall’s pure, elegant white style, with a ceiling designed with leaf motifs, plenty of green plants throughout the space, creating a refreshing atmosphere. Paired with high ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows, it offersa panoramic viewof Bangkok’s cityscape. The space design is different from what you’d typically feel onThailand’sstreets—this is because the project was designed by Klein Dytham architecture, the team behind Tokyo’s Tsutaya Books, creating an urban reading oasis.
