December 5, 2025Dec 5 Hi, are there any good 2nd hand bookstores in Chiang Mai? Also, looking to trade in some books/sets for store credit if that's a thing.
December 5, 2025Dec 5 Popular Post @SABloke There was a time, and not so long ago when you were spoiled for choice in good used book shops. Backstreet Books,Gekko Books, both on Chang Moi Kao, and several more around town. Now very few. Maybe The Lost Book Shop is still there on Rachamanka.
December 6, 2025Dec 6 As mentioned, Lost Books. They have a very extensive supply of used books, but have discontinued the policy on purchasing used books. https://maps.app.goo.gl/G5YMPdauuzrYTj7N8 There's also Shaman. https://maps.app.goo.gl/zWGNKBjRuWkpphKz6

My kids love reading BOOKS, although they also use ebooks since the read so fast 🤣 Now our library is just too full so hoping to trade in some books and collections and get a few new books to read while on holiday.
