Baan Khang Wat
Come and enjoy a relaxed, slow-paced vibe at Baan Khang Wat, a popular hangout spot in Chiang Mai. It’s impossible not to mention this unique project, which stands out for its distinctive architecture and a community-focused approach that perfectly blends with the lifestyle of the new generation. There’s plenty to do here: browse through shops, visit cafés, join workshops, or explore stores selling handmade goods and home décor. You’ll also find various restaurants, coffee shops, and even shops specializing in woodwork. For those with an artistic inclination, there are spots like Bookoo Studio—a showroom for crafts and ceramics—and "Orn the Rose," a home-studio space. Every Sunday morning, the venue hosts a morning market featuring food, fresh vegetables, and fruits, and occasionally, a second-hand flea market.
