If you are planning a sourcing trip to Thailand, this is the thing to build your dates around.

What it is

A ticketed, curated vintage fair founded in 2012 by Vudi Somboonkulavudi, who started it on a small rooftop. It now runs several times a year at rotating venues — a riverside warehouse on Charoen Nakhon, BITEC Sama Garden, others — over about three days.

The numbers: around 250 vendors, 15,000 to 20,000 attendees per edition, more than 500 affiliated collectors in Thailand and abroad, about a third of the vendor line-up refreshed each year, and a two-year waiting list for a stall. Entry is around ฿150–160.

Why it matters

Three reasons.

Density. Two hundred and fifty curated dealers in one hall is more serious stock than a week of walking Bangkok. The vendors are the ones with the good material, and they bring it here rather than putting it on a rail.

Access. Dealers who normally work by appointment, Instagram DM or not at all will stand behind a table and talk to you. For a foreign buyer with no local network, this is the fastest introduction available.

Signal. Monocle profiled it in March 2026 as the centre of Bangkok's vintage boom. It is also now a launchpad for emerging Thai labels as the shopping malls struggle to fill tenancies — which tells you something about where Thai retail is going.

How to go

Dates are announced on the Made By Legacy channels rather than on a fixed calendar, so check before booking flights. Recent editions have run in January, June and July.

Buy a ticket in advance if they are offered. Go on the first day — a two-year vendor waiting list means the stock is good and it does not stay.

How to get a stall

Join the waiting list and be patient. The line-up refreshes by about a third each year, so places do come up, but this is a curated fair and the curation is the product.

If you are a foreign dealer wanting to sell rather than buy, the realistic path is to attend twice, make yourself known, and apply on the strength of what you carry.

What it costs to buy there

Stock ranges from ฿300 tees to five-figure furniture. It is not the cheapest place in Thailand to buy anything — the whole point is that someone has already done the finding. What it is, is the highest-quality-per-hour buying available in the country.

The wider fair circuit

Made By Legacy is the big one, but it is not the only one. Jing Jai Market in Chiang Mai runs a vintage session on the first Friday of every month. Various fleas rotate through Bangkok venues — Phra Athit Road has hosted weekend vintage events, and Time Out Bangkok covers individual editions ad hoc.

Nobody aggregates this circuit, which is precisely why we are building a calendar for it. If you know of a fair we are missing, tell us.
