placeholder Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 In Chiang Mai’s temple-studded Old Town, one set of pointy roofs is not like the others. Built in wicker-patterned grey brick, the high-pitched gables of Kalm Village are a far cry from the gilded and jewelled gingerbread trims of its divine neighbours. The community here has swapped worship for workshops and put traditional artisans from Thailand on a pedestal. “We wanted to create a space that would bring people together through the love of art, craft and culture,” says creative director Achariyar Rojanapirom, who opened Kalm Village with her brother Araya in the spring of 2021. https://archive.ph/3dx4X#selection-2265.0-2269.46 https://www.ft.com/content/1e8396e2-7956-4d8c-a727-4d40d6022cff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GammaGlobulin Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 I seem to recall reading about the renovations/building going on about two years ago, or more. Will Keep this place in mind, to go. So, Keep Kalm, and Karry on..... KUDOS! (There is another Chiang Mai Thai textile shop whose owner also is a teacher at CMU. I wonder if there might be a connection, although the FT article mentions none.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
