I've been a library member here for twelve years. When I need primary sources in English, this is the only address in Bangkok.

Founded 1904 by European and Siamese scholars. The library is the best English-language archive on Thai history in the country. Kamthieng House is a transplanted northern Thai vernacular structure.
