Sanpakoi’s street market that takes place the first Sunday of every month is getting into the Songkran spirit a little early this weekend, and it's a good excuse to start your morning right. Taking place in the Anusarn Building, this market is going all in on the Lanna New Year theme – from a traditional water pouring ceremony and hanging of tung flags along the art alley to a light water play zone – emphasis on light – for those itching to get the water fighting started without going full chaos.
This month also adds two workshops to the usual mix – drawing, bracelet making and a variety of handmade craft activities. If you haven't been before, come on an empty stomach because the food stalls and cafés in the building will have you wanting to try a bit of everything. The market is also dressing up for the occasion this month making it one of the more photogenic Sunday mornings on the Chiang Mai calendar right now.
April 5. Free entry but plenty of food to spend it on. Anusarn Building. 8am-1pm
