Fancy giving your phone a couple of hours off? Bangkok Offline Reading Club invites you to bring a paperback or e-reader for quiet reading and conversation. Organised by BKKLITFEST, this post-Halloween edition welcomes costumes inspired by favourite authors and literary characters, though dressing up is optional. Bring books to swap if you like. After reading time, the group splits into smaller circles to chat about literature, art and culture. Keep your phone switched off or on silent – the next chapter can have your undivided attention.
November 7. Free admission; advance registration required. Public House Sukhumvit 31. 4pm-6pm. Register here.
