Escape the heat at this isan flea market this weekend

If you don't fancy baking in the sun doing absolutely nothing this weekend, here's a better plan: escape the heat and fill up on muanjoy at the Muanjoy Market or E-sarn Flea Market. There’s craft works, art pieces, proper food and live phin and khaen (mor lum instruments) music filling the air.

Running this Saturday and Sunday, the whole thing brings a contemporary folk e-san vibe where you can actually let loose in a garden setting. There are cute workshops to try, craft and handmade bits to browse, booths serving up delicious local grub, local liquor and products to taste, and live music from phin and khaen players and artists doing live portrait drawings. You can genuinely just stroll around at your own pace.

Come wander, eat, drink and shop for good local lifestyle products – decorations, clothes, handmade pieces – alongside drinks and seriously tasty food. Special shout-out to anyone wanting to try satho, and there are local products like rice, roselle, cantaloupe and lime to sample at the event. 

Muanjoy Market runs from April 4-5, 10am-6pm at GalileOasis. Entry is free.
