The world’s biggest floating library – the MV Logos Hope – is docked at Khlong Toey Port (ท่าเรือคลองเตย) and open to visitors from now until March 11. Opening times are 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Tuesday – Saturday, and 2 p.m. to 10 p.m. Sunday – Monday.
The ship is manned by volunteers working for a German Christian foundation, and many books are oriented to Christian themes. Its predecessor, the MV Dolous, proved popular with Thai visitors, especially those wanting to experience being on board a large ship. Along with its books, the ship provided some great photo opportunities.

It’s a front for their religious agenda.
Very true, Tom! I visited the Dolous a few years back and the books weren’t worth looking at. But everyone seemed to be having fun looking around the boat and taking photos.
