Shaman Books

71 Khaosan Road

About

Shaman Books consists of a tiny space crammed floor to ceiling with bookshelves lined with hundreds of books, mostly second-hand. The books are arranged roughly in alphabetical order and spread from chick lit to literary beasts. The shop also has many travel books and guides for those seeking information about their next destinations, and books on meditation and Buddhism for those interested in Thai religion. Books bought in the shop can be returned for fifty-percent of cost price, but they are not keen on buying in other books. Another small shop is located on Soi Susie, just off the Khao San Road. - Alyson Hilbourne
