Does anyone where I can go read, without paying a fee, current issues of foreign newspapers and magazines, like New York Times International, Wall Street Journal, Businessweek, etc.? Hopefully on BTS line.

Try going to a newsagent and buying the reading matter.

You want to read Businessweek but you cant afford to pay for the paper?

I think there is a free service that bring them to your home and come pick them up after you read them.

You can call them on the free number 0800-Imacheapskate

I think some of the five star hotel lobbies have current newspapers (e.g. Hyatt Erawan, etc.). I know they have the local papers (Bangkok Post, Nation), and I think maybe NY Times.

Dean and Deluca by Phloen Chit have daily copies of the Daily Mail (which, y'know... quite possibly barely qualifies as a newspaper) and either the Wall Street Journal or Herald & Tribune i think. I'll check for you tomorrow.

Most of the Brit and Irish pubs have UK newspapers but you would have to buy a drink, so this may negate your saving.

Otherwise go to Villa Market and read them all for free without buying one.

a british council (254 Chulalongkorn Soi 64, Siam Square Phayathai Road), as well as cultural centres run by consulates, usually do have small libraries and a reading room for newspapers.

they might as well have a digital subscription to read on their computers and they might charge a small fee for using it
