The Panya Project / The Baan Thai Project - Northern Thailand

The Panya Project aims to be a thriving example of sustainable living in northern Thailand, while simultaneously providing a vehicle for growth and expansion for all those involved. In the words of one of the founding members, “We hope to continue to learn and grow every step of the way without being attached to where we are, or where we are going. I sincerely hope that this project can be living a culture of joy, appreciation, and expansion, while also allowing us to feel that we are contributing to the global movement toward a more sustainable world.”

The Panya Project is hosting a series of Permacuture Design Courses, as well as offering Internships in Natural Building and Permaculture. We are actively building our ecovillage, and would love to have you join in the experiential learning that is going on here.

The techniques that we practice at the Panya Project are either traditionnally Thai (bamboo, wood, and thatch) or imported from other areas (wattle and daube, cob, adobe, and a fusion that we call wattle and cob). We try as much as possible to build with materials available around us, and to make choices that edge us toward ever lower impact and sustainability.

We love having visitors who are excited to learn about sustainable living, permaculture, natural building, and/or community living. Stay for a few days or a few weeks or more. While you’re here, get some hands-on experience in some of our on-going projects like planting the food forest, working in the garden, and building natural structures. Cool off in the afternoons with a swim at the nearby resevouir, join in our "house band" at evening jams, and try out some new creations to bake in our cob oven. You will be incorporated as a temporary member of the community, with your share of daily responsibilities such as cooking, cleaning, chopping firewood, and taking care of the animals. Since we are not yet fully self-sufficient, we ask all guests to contribute 150 Baht a day for food and general costs incurred by supporting extra people. It’s best to contact us first, as we may be unable to accommodate additional guests when we’re hosting a workshop. Hope to see you soon!
