The Memories of Stationery Shop

Write out stories from a walking tour of Bangkok stationary stores Multi-colored pens, scented erasers, rubber rulers, these items can take a person back to their childhood, to when these were essential tools, and to the community stationary store where they could pick them up. For Bangkok Design Week 2023, a day is inviting everyone to join a tour of Phra Nakhon area stationary stores to reconnect with memories while getting to better know the small shops selling pens and paper and their rich analog history. These are the stores that brought color to the city and enlivened its school zones and neighborhoods. Hear the tales of longstanding Phra Nakhon area stationary stores, pick up new pencils and rulers and jot down a unique diary entry to be added to the a day website. The trip will be made more special by featuring a speaker who has a deep history with stationary stores across Bangkok, Suppachai Vongnoppadondacha or Louis Sketcher, an illustrator and sketch artist who will be sharing his experiences.
