It’s almost as if you were walking right into the pages of Baan Lae Suan Magazine itself! Bigger than ever, the 2017 Baan Lae Suan Fair fills the entire exhibition hall with presentations and sales of a huge variety of house and garden products. Expositions, activities, information, and updates on what’s trending now are grouped under the headings “Design,” “Living,” and “Outdoor Living.”

This year’s theme: “Remembering Our Guiding Light.”
This year’s theme is about interdependence. How do we live together in a relationship of mutual benefits? Through the ages mankind has found the answer in nature’s own secret: All things, living and non-living, need balance for sustainable existence. Balance in this sense doesn’t mean “equality,” but rather mutual fulfillment: if there’s a surplus on one side, use it to fill a deficit elsewhere. Keep things in the right balance, neither too hot nor too cold. Whether among people or generally in nature, a balanced interdependence results in beautiful growth and the memories that last forever. And we vow to never forget the one who sent a guiding light for us to follow.
1. Demonstration houses: “Divide – Connect – Abundance”
These three words illustrate the concept of living together. Divide usable space, possessions, and wealth to create utility. Connect with others, become closer through mutual dependence. Find Abundance in living together. Demonstration homes are structured around mutually dependent living, with common dining, kitchen, and bathroom spaces, while at the same time each structure has its own relaxation and activity areas geared to individual lifestyles and preferences.
2. Garden Zone – by Baan Lae Suan Publishing
This zone is one of Baan Lae Suan Publishing’s biggest hits, returning this year under the theme “Backyard Garden.” Take delight in small garden spots, relaxing corners in a gazebo, and other examples of how to make full use of space around the house. Here organic agriculture fans can learn about soil care and growing vegetables, and participate in free workshops. Absolutely not to be missed!

It’s an opportunity to try their hand at creating something in the workshop area.
