Half market, half artist community, this village began as a space for artisanal students to test out workshops and sell their creative wares. A decade later and it’s grown into a hotch potch of towering wooden structures that feel more Diagon Alley than Thai market. The leafy enclave is home to a range of modern studios, tight-nit artist shops and daily workshops that are both fun and educational. There’s a central amphitheatre for events and on Sundays, a mellow morning market brings in organic produce, baked goods and even more handmade treasures to discover.
Time Out tip: Come with enough time to spare – walking around will take the best part of an hour or more, but you’ll likely stumble across a workshop or activity that may add on a few more hours than you first anticipated.
Open Tues-Sun, most lively at weekends. Soi Wat Umong, Suthep. 11am-6pm (Sundays 8am-1pm)
