How you can support The Panya Project

How You Can Help:

When we don't a workshop going on, we are open and receptive to vistors who are excited to learn and contribute. Learn more about this on our website.

Featured Project:

During this past summer (summer of 2007) we planted over 2000 trees into the acreage of our farm. Some of it is a designed and heavily planted food forest, with around 40 varieties of fruit and edible trees. We are excited to have this be part of the long legacy of the Panya Project here on the land, but it will take quite a bit of work to help those little trees grow into the nutriscious fruit givers they can be. If you are interested in coming to our farm and helping us out with whatever is going on, you are usually welcome.

The internship will be focused on the construction of an earthen building using adobe and "wattle and cob" natural building techniques. We are excited about the possibilities for the internship, and feel certain that the building we construct will be beautiful and functional. The process of design will bring with it a number of challenges and creative opportunities that the builders and interns will tackle during the spring of 2008.

I spent a month next door to Panya last winter. Believe me, the place is wonderful - far and away the best spot I found in all of Thailand. Christian and the other folks who live there couldn't be more friendly and sincere. It's a truly special destination. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

-Tim
