Baan Kang Wat is an Artists village and market set in the beautiful Pong Noi area of Chiang mai. Calling itself a ‘craft village’, Baan Kang Wat is made up of around 10 unique houses, centered around an outdoor communal area and amphitheater.
Although only opened recently in mid-2014, Baan Kang Wat has already played host to a number of different local activities and community events, such as several photography exhibits, an art and sculpture show produced by art students from the nearby Chiang Mai University, and a weeklong film festival which saw a number of local food and arts and crafts stalls come and set up shop, creating a carnival type atmosphere. It also organizes community gardening, craft workshops and art markets.
