Central Chiang Mai Airport

This two-day vinyl market at Central Chiangmai Airport leans less towards intense crate-digging and more towards a slow, easy weekend ritual. Start with morning jazz and coffee, then drift into record browsing, trading and conversations with fellow collectors, with hands-on workshops like screen-printing and slipmat painting adding to the mix. Come for the vinyl, stay for the atmosphere – and if you’re hunting for something specific, go early before the best finds disappear.  Apr 25-26. Free entry. Central Chiangmai Airport. 10am-9pm

Rising Thai indie pop band Purpeech land in Chiang Mai with a live set that’s already drawing a loyal following – the kind of sound that feels honest and immediate whether you know the lyrics or not. Expect a mixed crowd and three ticket zones to choose from, with a set that leans more towards connection than spectacle. Think carefully about where you stand; closer isn’t always better if you want space to settle into the music.  Apr 25. From B699. Tickets here. Central Chiangmai Airport. From 6pm
