Baan Kang Wat’s Yard Sale is going green next week

Baan Kang Wat needs little introduction at this point. The beloved artist village tucked just outside the city centre has become one of Chiang Mai’s most visited spots for good reason – a labyrinth of indie boutiques, artisan workshops and cafés that has blown up online and become a firm favourite for anyone wanting to explore the city's creative side beyond the temple trail.

Next week, May 12-14, the village is hosting its usual yard sale, but this time with a houseplant theme – and the timing couldn't be better. The smog season may be easing but a houseplant never hurts – they filter the air, they look good on a shelf and they give you something to tend to. Expect stalls selling potted greenery, houseplants and plant-adjacent décor alongside the usual rotating mix of secondhand items and pre-loved goods that make Baan Kang Wat's yard sales worth showing up for.

While you’re there, don’t forget to also browse the usual secondhand stalls, grab a coffee from one of the cafés and leave with more than just a potted peace lily. The market runs from 9.30am to 6pm across all three days so there's no rush to get there early, though the best plants tend to go first.

May 12-14. Free entry. Baan Kang Wat. 9.30am-6pm
