Baan Books (Thai for “House of Books”) was founded in 2024 upon one simple belief: access to books can change a life. That was certainly the case for the founder, Pei, who has sold over 7 million books as an author and book publisher. Since books impacted his life so much, he wanted to extend access to all.We serve communities by funding starter libraries in underserved areas all around Thailand.We also fundraise for school tuition, organize charity drives, fund teacher salaries, and provide holistic education (arts, music, physical fitness, vocational).We want to create real, sustainable infrastructure, not just a feel-good band-aid.
We are on a mission to create 60 libraries across Thailand in the next 10 years.In many Thai communities, schools lack even a basic reading corner. Children grow up without access to diverse, engaging books. Without books: literacy falls behind, curiosity shrinks, and opportunity narrows.Libraries change that trajectory, and we do it with some of the biggest book publishers, international schools, and non-profits in Thailand.
We work alongside book publishers, international schools, educators, and non-profit partners throughout Thailand who believe in long-term change. Our partners help us identify underserved communities, curate meaningful book collections, and support implementation on the ground. Every collaboration is built on sustainability, accountability, and shared impact.
We expand thoughtfully, prioritizing long-term partnership and local leadership before scale. Currently in Bangkok, Chumphon, and Nonthaburi.Click below for more.
