The Booksmith Bookshop

cute little book store located in nimman! have various genres of books and also a tiny cafe inside

so aesthetically pleasing for a book lover like me

Love this bookshop. There are varieties of interesting books and also stationeries. There is cafe inside served good taste high quality coffee and ranges of drinks. The scones is yum too.

As a former bookshop employee I am the guy you need to talk to about this. Really, you have scrolled to the right place and the right time in your life to read this review and improve the quality of your life.

Bookstores are about discovery. They can be designed, stocked and staffed any way the proprietor pleases. No policy dictated by people in government offices.

Magazines and books, pamphlets and books inside of boxes. Weight in your hand. Cards and coffee, maybe something sweet for your mouth.

Words and textures for hands. Viola! Inspiration and imagination. Never realized how much you have been missing until you spend some time in a bookstore like this.

English language books, Art, fiction, commentary, kids, coffee, heavy wooden tables, browse and read. Stay awhile - it’s okay.

Free wifi password is Thebooksmith (starts with a capital letter).

This place is so good they will be tired of me in no time.

Cute bookshop, will definitely come back and try the coffee :)

Great place to relax and read a book. This bookshop / cafe has a great selection of English books and is also great if you just want to wind down and escape the heat. Staff is really friendly and great drinks.

the most precious little bookshop. the smell of books alone that hugs you as you walk in, is a 5star! i went in with my 3.5yr old, they had a handful of childrens book and each one they had was great. we had a lovely little browse around some perfectly handpicked titles. a fair few English books. great shop for artists and creatives. they even have crates of old magazines on offer, great for styling shoots etc.

the staff were amazing, welcoming and informative.

we sat for a good couple of hours Reading and enjoying a coffee.

situated in a lovely shopping centre overall that celebrates small businesses and handcrafted goods. beautiful

Adorable and quiet bookstore/coffee shop. Good lattes and picturesque interior.

nice bookshop in Nimman, I really like this place

I’ve got an awesome experience from the bookstore, the vibe and cafe decorations. Very impressed with book suggestions from the owner. *they also offer delivery service! ☕📖

very aesthetically pleasing, but not tailored towards fiction books really - although it did have a few books I liked! There’s also a cafe although I didn’t try the drinks, but seemed a nice place to sit and have a coffee.

I love this bookshop and visit every time I’m in Chiang Mai. The best bookshop for design, fashion, lifestyle and art books. I never leave empty handed (largely due to the excellent collection of discounted out-of-date magazines)

An interesting book store with a great selection of books covering travel, cooking, and other lifestyle topics. They also display arts from partnering galleries/photographers for sale.

Here at the new location - Soi Nimman 5. Lovely place both to browse great books and to sit and relax over coffee. Had sone with scone and pumpkin muffin this afternoon.

(Edited: my review is for their old store on the main street. i haven't spent enough time in their new store to write a valid review.)

One of my favourite places in Chiang Mai. It's a bit of a quiet sanctuary for anyone looking for a bit of escape from the heavy tourist-packed streets of Nimman. Admittedly, I once spent an hour inside browsing, and the staff were kind and patient.

Even though I can't read Thai, I'm a fan of the travelogues they retail - usually made by indie publishing houses such as Polka Dot and Tissue Paper. They also have good merch made by local Thai crafters such as Dear Reader and so on.

Small, but I could always get some books, mainly creativity arts related books from this bookshop.

Really interesting books for a bibliophile. Found all kinds of books in English here that I wouldn't find anywhere else. Great location close to my hotel best neighborhood Chiang mai. Couldn't recommend this place enough. Plus the area was very clean very neat very first world

Small collection of interesting books, with an emphasis on art and design and Japanese themes. Also classy souvenirs and gifts. Great coffee and small range of cakes - the Japanese cheesecake is delicious. Basically, only three tables to sit at in a corner of the store, but a nice vibe. Popular with Japanese tourists and as it is tucked away a bit, must feature on social media.

There are rare and interesting books. I bought a couple of book about design

Good selection of books! It is even better than Kinokunikya in Bangkok. You can find not only the new-release books but also some history genre about Southeast Asia. I have to resist myself not to buy too many.

Cute bookshop with nice selection of indie magazines, cookbooks and art books. Also has some gifts & beautiful wrap papers
