A special entry due to its charitable nature, Bamboo Family Market is quaint, small but absolutely worth a visit. In a surprisingly green area just off the Sankampeng Junction (ring road three), the market makes a point of providing meaningful employment for refugees and ethnic minorities. The market is zero-waste and a haven for those who enjoy Myanmar food, local crafts and shared cultural activities. The bamboo amphitheatre is packed with stalls selling everything from vegan treats to eco-friendly goods and natural products all crafted by local artisans. In the centre, a stage hosts acoustic performances in Thai, Myanmar and Laos – each one celebrating heritage in a safe and friendly space.
Time Out tip: Bring your own bags as this market is strictly no-waste, no-plastic. Even their free water is served in big glass cups that you’re encouraged to carry around with you as you explore.
Every weekend. Sanggadee Space, 121 Highway Road, San Kamphaeng. 9am-4pm.
