Keep Kalm,
Keeping
Craft Alive

Kalm wants to create a place that brings people together through the love of art, craft, and culture.

We believe in the ability of art, craft, and culture to educate, engage, inspire and empower.

OUR HOME (บ้านของเรา)

Lately, we’ve been reflecting deeply on what it means to belong—and how lucky we are to call Chiang Mai our home.

To be in a place where kindness, passion, and diversity live in every corner. Where where strangers smile like old friends and kindness isn’t rare, but woven into the everyday.

A place where history runs deep, yet flows effortlessly into the rhythm of everyday life. Where traditions live not behind glass but in the hands of aunties, artists, artisans and your neighbors.

Here, we are moved and inspired daily by the smallest moments like sunlight filtering through the leaves, birdsong in the morning. Here, river and mountains feel close enough to touch, yet city comforts are never far away — where life feels both tender and wild.

To belong to a city that holds both stillness and momentum.

Home is here.
In the land. In the light. In each other.
In the spaces we create and the community we hold.

Kalm Village is an Art, Crafts, and Culture Center in the heart of Old Town Chiang Mai. Through means of architecture, objects, food, archive, workshops, dynamic exhibitions, residency programs, happenings, and conversations, our goal is to empower local wisdom, makers, and communities, through space and contemporary platforms.

“In order to carry on our ancestral wisdom, it has to be practiced all the time

like a river flowing.

The river will still be a river and not be left dry

when the old stream flow on, and the new stream flow in to replace continuously.”

What’s On

At Kalm Village, we celebrate and explore diverse artistic, cultural, and historical subjects where heritage and innovation converse. Our programs, event, and happenings are thoughtfully curated to foster the understanding and appreciation of the arts, crafts, and cultures in various dimensions.

Museum of Makers (MOM)

The Museum of Makers (MOM) is a part of Kalm Village, an Art, Craft, and Culture center in Old Town Chiang Mai, Thailand.

The center is dedicated to all the makers and creators that surround us, who came before and in all of us. The word “mom” or “แม่” in Thai and many Asian cultures, other than signifying the ‘creator’ also has various deep meanings, including a term of endearment and respect.

EVENT

Lifestyle Store

Asia is a vibrant region brimming with vibrant colors, rich personalities, paradoxes, and cultural diversity—a dynamic blend of the old and the new, all tied together by the warmth of its people.

At Kalm, we create joyful, unique products that reimagine traditional craftsmanship, blending traditional practices with contemporary aesthetics to create one-of-a-kind pieces. Each item reflects the essence of Asian culture while complementing today’s contemporary home and lifestyle.

Our collections delve into various craft themes and techniques, honoring their distinct histories and unique identities.
