Charoenkrung knows how to make old things feel alive. The market returns after last year’s warm reception, settling back into the neighbourhood with a confident, well-worn ease. The edit leans thoughtful rather than excessive: clothes with a past, jewellery that carries a little attitude, handmade bags, small artworks, home pieces, secondhand books, vintage tableware and vinyl that deserves another listen. Each item arrives with its own backstory, quietly competing for attention. This is less about bargain-hunting and more about connection. Makers chat with collectors, browsers linger longer than planned and Thai-designed craft sits comfortably beside international finds. Framed by the wider design festival, the market feels like a shared living room for the creatively curious, where taste is personal and discovery happens at an unhurried pace. Come for one object, leave with a handful of stories and a reason to return.
January 29-31 and February 1,6 and 8. Free. Charoen43 Art and Eatery, 11am-6pm
