Soul Food, Good Life

Beneath the soft sprawl of Chulalongkorn University Centenary Park, something gentler than a market begins to take shape. Now in its second year, this open-air gathering leans into slower rhythms – an antidote to the chaos of convenience culture. With over 50 stalls offering goods that whisper rather than shout, the event shifts focus from consumption to consideration. Expect clothes that have lived other lives (Loopers), salad dressings made from wonky mushrooms and overlooked tomatoes (Never Enough) and reef-friendly sunscreen that doesn’t leave destruction in its wake. But it isn’t just about objects – it’s about unlearning. A Satir Iceberg Workshop, led by one of Thailand’s rare certified coaches, offers a deep dive into emotional undercurrents. May 24-25. Free. Chulalongkorn University Centenary Park, 10.30am-8.30pm
