Jon Jondai

Jon Jandai is probably the happiest man in Thailand. The self proclaimed ‘happiness’ farmer from the northern part of Thailand lives a carefree life in the village while many of his contemporary compatriots are heavily burdened with debts and expectations. Jon Jandai is from Yasothorn Province Thailand and has been farming all of his life. He began building earthen homes on his family farm in 1997. He co-founded Pun Pun in 2003 and is most interested in preserving heritage in seeds. During his younger days, Jon was drawn by the bright lights of big cities and left his family farm to seek the richness of Bangkok, but after a number of years there, he decided to return to his village. He then started to experimenting the different ways to build houses and to do farming. He began teaching the methods to other villagers as he continues to create a movement of creating sustainable and affordable living in the countryside.

What if true happiness lies not in chasing success, but in embracing the simplicity we’ve left behind?
