SpacebarZine Store
Wimonporn Wisit and Wisart Wisit, founders of the graphic design studio Spacebar Design Studio and creators of self-published books and zines, opened a brick-and-mortar store in 2025. They stock over 300 zines and art books from around the world.
There is also a wide selection of goods with pop designs, such as stickers using Thai characters. "We also support people who want to make zines, and we want this to be a hub. Things that are cute and fun to look at should be easy for foreigners to pick up," says Wimonporn.

Salmon is a Thai cultural publishing company whose main readership ranges from students to people in their 30s. They publish many books that are easy for the younger generation to relate to, such as lifestyle, self-improvement, and travelogues.
"Salmon are born in rivers, go out to sea, and have the spirit to return to the river again, and they're delicious no matter how you cook them, so we chose them as the company name (laughs)," says editor-in-chief Patikarn Pakgai.
"While many people read online articles and e-books, there are also a certain number of people who prefer paper publications," said the company, which opened a directly managed store on the first floor of its headquarters building in April 2025. The store also carries books by Japanese authors, such as the Thai version of Yoshimoto Banana's novels. "We've been particular about the binding and have been conscious of making books that use lots of photographs and illustrations. Next, we'd like to create a space where people can casually pick up our books and talk about them."
