What welcoming you once entering the compound of Neilson Hays Library is the shady ambience and the sweet scent of frangipani.
Step into the Neo Classic building and encounter the shelves full of books. They are so eager to tell you stories. The touching history behind this lovely library is that, it's the monument of love that the founder, Dr.Thomas Heyward Hays, built in memory of his beloved wife, Mrs.Jennie Heilson Hays. Mrs. Hays was the dedicating organizer of the Bangkok Library Association back then when she was the member of The Ladies' Bazaar Association. Upon her pass-away, this library was hence constructed to be a permanent library and renamed into the present name.
This library is already 86 years old, but doesn't look its age. Most members are expats who live in Thailand. However, many Thai visitors always pay a visit on a regular-basis.
In addition to the library section, 2 galleries are located in this Hays compound. The "Garden Gallery" is set by the garden near the cafe. Outdoor sitting lounge looks through the glass into displayed art pieces in "Rotunda Gallery". This dome-shape roof, high-ceiling hall was once the entry lounge. Only recently it was renovated into the art gallery.
We can't tell what's more relaxing, arts or books. If you can't decide, just go to Neilson Hays as it has both to offer!
