Shop for home decor, books and art at a craft market held in the courtyard of old buildings in Yaowarat. As the final round of The Luenrit Street Crafts, this is your last chance to browse the Book and Bed-themed market before it wraps up.

Vintage shophouses along Luenrit Street become the backdrop for stalls selling everything from handmade crafts to books you'll actually want to display on your shelves. There are workshops too if you fancy making something yourself, and the whole thing has that neighbourhood vibe.

Walk Wander runs heritage tours that show you Yaowarat from angles most people miss. You explore building facades you've walked past countless times without really looking, learn the stories behind shopfronts you thought you knew and see the neighbourhood through the eyes of someone who pays attention to these details. It's the sort of walk that makes you realise how much you've been missing.

After you've shopped and explored, there are free movie screenings to cap off the evening. Friday February 28 brings 500 Days of Summer, Saturday March 1 is Forrest Gump. Both films start at 7pm in the courtyard. No tickets are needed, you just have to register here. You can win popcorn and commemorative movie tickets during the event too.

The Walk Wander tours require a B100 deposit when you book, but you get it back on the day at the registration desk.

 

The Luenrit Street Crafts, Yaowarat. February 28 to March 1.
