I am coming to the area soon and wonder if there any second hand books shops, or bars that swap paper backs in Chiang Rai town? If so located where exactly?

Go to Rico´s Beach Bar (beside Chiang Rai Corner that is opposite Chiang Rai Condohotel) and there you can find a lot of books

You can find a map over Chiang Rai here http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/Google-Map-C...ai-t254852.html and you find Chiang Rai Corner on the left side and just click on that name and it show you on the map where to find this place!

And when you are there you can have a nice chilled refreshing drink at the same time!

I'll have to check this place out myself Sven.

Also, Orn's Books behind the Jed Yod temple. Just follow the signs.

I would like to recommend the friendly service and fair pricing of Orn's Books

We'll have to meet up there one day and go for a coffee Wiley.

Yes, Orn's Book Shop is very good. I go there often. Ask Peter for a copy of his hand-drawn map of Chiang Rai. He updates it often with the latest info. And, he stocks travel books and has books in several languages.
