Time Out says

What is it? A sprawl of stalls and open-air ease where canvases lean against concrete and incense mingles with fried things on sticks. You come here to shop, but not really. You come to loiter, to lose track of time between zines, ceramics and a boy playing Radiohead on a flute. Art, sure. But also space to breathe. 

Why go?  The market resists easy definition. It’s part sculpture, part park. Wander long enough and you’ll pass a giant aircraft parked like it belongs there, flanked by rusted robots, shadowy corners, and food that tastes best eaten standing. At the centre, a hulking airplane looms like a dream misplaced – ghostly, grand, oddly serene amid the clutter. Reclaimed wood meets industrial sprawl, installations crop up without warning, and everything hums with the kind of offbeat charm you can’t manufacture. It’s a place that feels lived-in yet slightly unreal, where you might catch a film screening next to a flea market or stumble across a poetry reading beside a tattoo booth.

Time Out tip: Across the year, the space shapeshifts – hosting festivals that pulse with live sets, makeshift galleries, and pop-up chaos masquerading as markets. Somewhere in the noise, you’ll find Transport, a quiet rebellion of house and disco heads who gather a few times annually beneath the bones of a plane to dance like no one’s documenting it.

What’s on

Spend five days of luk thung, mor lam and nostalgia at ChangChui this Songkran

A five days with mix of music, water and nostalgia at ChaingChui that feels knowingly over the top. The programme blends Thai remix DJs with live luk thung and mor lam, alongside variety performances that echo temple fairs. Female headliners take centre stage, backed by lighting and sound that feel closer to a concert than a street celebration. Between sets, you move past food stalls, small attractions and the occasional elephant motif, all adding to the mood. Dress codes lean to expressive. Sabai, vintage pieces or anything reworked tends to fit, especially once everyone ends up soaked anyway. Children under 100 cm tall enter for free, which adds to the family fun. April 11-15. B199 at the door. ChangChui Creative Park, 11am-midnight
