If you don't have time to go to Khao San Rd, Elite Book House is a worthy (or better) alternative for buying second-hand English-language books. They have all the usual genres, including fiction, non-fiction and travel guides, all for decent prices. They also have smaller quantities of books in Japanese, Thai, Chinese, French, German and Swedish.
