Thailand's biggest rising pop acts (PROXIE, PiXXiE, DAOU–OFFROAD and more) take over CMU Hall for a full-day festival — big stage, big energy, very Chiang Mai university crowd.
Huay Kaew Rd · CMU Hall
Retro disco and rock'n'roll all night. Dress '60s–'80s if you dare — best outfit wins the Disco Daddy Award (plus a crate of beer). Book ahead.
Nimman area · Your Father CNX
An intimate riverside concert at Centara Riverside — Thai pop nostalgia, candlelit tables, and the kind of night expats book when parents visit.
Wat Kate · Centara Riverside
Organic produce, craft stalls, and the covered food market (no MSG, no reused oil). Arrive before 8am if you hate crowds — perfect post-coffee nomad ritual.
Atsadathon Rd · Jing Jai Central
Closing weekend for this group show by Chiang Mai women artists. Last chance before it comes down — strong pick if you care about local contemporary art.
Chiang Mai · Maeying Collective
Chiang Mai's month-long nomad × local experiment: four coliving tracks building in public. Drop in even if you're not coliving — very founder-curious.
