Browse 100-plus small brands and social enterprises at Songkran Hope Fair
Hope Fair regulars know it for its mix of small brands, social enterprises and quiet fundraising for Mercy Centre, supporting children and families across the city. This Songkran edition leans gently on tradition. More than 100 exhibitors line the space with handmade goods, food and thoughtful pieces that rarely appear in larger retail settings. Between browsing, you catch traditional dance performances, pause at a themed photo corner or take part in a water blessing. A donation booth collects pre-loved clothing and household items, keeping the focus on community. Over time, the fair raises more than B1.2 million, though the atmosphere stays personal rather than grand.
April 2. Free. Rembrandt Bangkok Hotel, 10am-8pm
