The Neilson Hays Library has its origins in early Bangkok in the latter half of the 1800s, when Silom was referred to as Windmill Road. It was 1869, a year into the reign of King Rama V.
In that year, the Ladies Bazaar Association in Bangkok, a charitable organization founded in 1866, raised funds for a library to cater for the reading needs of the increasing English speaking community residing in Bangkok.
Back then, it wasn't called the Neilson Hays Library but the Bangkok Ladies Library Association.
The founders of Backstreet Books started selling books in Thailand about twenty three years ago. It's been a trip, one could write several books on: romance, mystery and espionage. The people you meet love and hate all make it for a life I would not change for any amount of money.
