Baan Kang Wat is made up of a handful of small houses gathered around a shared courtyard and amphitheatre. Independent shops, studios and cafés sit side by side, and it genuinely feels like everyone is in it together.
You’ll find libraries, art and craft studios, galleries, bakeries, gelato, coffee shops, live music and restaurants. Most things are handmade, local, sustainable or organic. Often all four.
There are workshops too. Ceramics, jewellery, watercolour, woodcut printing, notebook making, indigo. Or you can do nothing at all. Sit, drink coffee, watch people drift through and soak it in.
So many people enjoying themselves it lifts your spirits without trying. An unforgettable pocket of creativity.
