On a trip to Bangkok, it is a must to visit at least one of the bustling city’s many markets for interesting finds ranging from trendy fashion items to unique snacks and handmade crafts. But the Thai capital is not the only destination in the country to offer such fascinating shopping experiences.
For a deep dive into the creative side to Thailand, visit Chiang Mai in the northern part of the country. A magnet for artists, designers and innovators, the city was recognised as a Unesco creative city of craft and folk art in 2016.
In the heart of the old town, Kalm Village is a hub and community space that melds art, design, food and culture under one roof. It is designed to be an experimental space and an incubator for the dreamers, creators and innovators of Thailand and features residency programmes, exhibitions and a retail store to foster creativity.
